W. Allen of the Denver Union Stockyards, ar rived; from the north from attending }the wool growers’ meeting at Cody. |He reports some 500 attending this meeting, which was a most interest. ing one. The resolutions condemned pres- ent serviée for stock given by the Burlington, and opposed both the Kendrick and Sims stockyards bills. “It is a common expression among stockmen,” says Mr. Allen, “that the enactment of either the Sims or Kendrick bills would be detrimental to them and their business. Better railroad service is what is most neea: ed.” The’ general opinion expressed at) the Cody meeting was that wool | would not go below 40 cents this |season, and that lambs would reach }20 cents oa account of shortage in |the feed lots. This shortage in the |feeding places of Colorado amounts |to 400,000 head,” said Mr. Allen. |“Next season Colorado feed lots will want two million sheep and a million jeach of cattle and hogs,” he said, |“aecording to the acreage of feed to be planted the coming season. “Stockmen are more and more eae that what is demanded in these days is quality and service. Too jmany send their stuff to market in a half-fattened condition.
