bitter weather and the unusual
quantity of snow, which prevented
them from finding the necessary
pasture.
In addition to the severity of the
weathei-, which came on about De
cember I, it is pointed out that a
hard crust formed on the snow,
which rendered it impossible for
stock to reach the grass beneath. x
Many cattlemen attempted to find
relief in southern Texas. However,

1H6' after driving their herds for miles
to the railroad, they were unable to
obtain transportation facilities. The
principal complaint on this score
was insufficient cars in which to ship
their stock south.
Many stockmen, it is declared,
after driving their herds 40 to 50
miles to the railroad were com
pelled to sit idly by and witness
starvation overtake, in some in
stances, their entire herds.
A ranches recently in the north
ern part of Wyoming counted his
herd following a severe snow storm
and found that out of 1,000 head
only 450 remained.
There were some who were fortu
nate enough to obtain hay, it is said.
They were able to withstand the bit
ter weather and deep snows. Hay
was very scarce, however, and the
price was high, which prevented a
greater number of stockmen from
buying. ......
Bear Faction In Possession
Of Market During the Week
New York, Jan. 17. An aggressive and
very active bear faction was in possession
of the stock market this week. The ef
forts of that element vere supplemented
by an erratic money market, another
break In foreign exchange and the In
herent weakness of low grade oils and
xpeclalties.
Demand loan rate eased In marked
degree but time money was scarce almost
to the vanishing point and the attitude
of the federal reserve bank bespoke fur
ther measure, to restrict credit for non
essentials. The sharp break In secondary oil and
some of the miscellaneous specialties
which later extended to high-priced Is
sues, particularly petroleums and mo
tors, was accelerated by the doubtful
status of some of those properties.
Standard steel and equipments shares
were steady most of the time as a result
of favorable trade prospects and the bet
ter labor outjok. Coppers also Im
proved with other base metals, for which
an increased demand and higher price
schedules were reported.
Kails yielded none of their long sus
tained lethargy, only occasionally taking
part In the daily movement and making
no perceptible response to the trend of
legislation whl7e textile, leather and pa
per Issues were swayed by the course of
kindred specialties.
Interesting developments In the Inter
national financial situation Included an
over eubscrlption to th 125,000,000 Bel
gian note loan Issued by a powerful bank
ing syndicate and an offering of Italian
government bond.
