Packers Are Backed By Full
Coolers and Only Bid Low
Prices Today
UNION STOCK YARDS Sept. 28.—A
steady market waa the best that could
' be said of any department of the live
■ stock trade here today although receipts
and offerings were the lightest of the
week numbering 66 cattle * calves
and 86 hogs. It was a good thing for
the market that the supply was light
for packer* made it fully evident that
they were backed by full coolers and
that they would only take that stick
[ offered at a very low figure. Butchers
however were sufficiently represented
to give the trading a good atart. At
I noon trading was progressing nicely.
Prices ruled about ateady with yeater-
day. Top cows brought best at 83.50
and generally sold around 88.26. Calves
topped at 34.26 with the general range
1 from 83.75 to 34. Hoga were slightly
demoralised selling with a slow move-
ment at 3* and 3650.
STOCKYARDS TALK
Packers are fighting for lower prices
for hogs and have succeeded to some!
extent. At current prices of corn and
hogs there is a very wide difference (
between the feeding situation
and last. Com Is now high and hogs
comparatively low as against the re-
verse last year. It would seem to be
logical for farmers to sell their corn in
preference to their live stock but the
receipts of each recently Indicate a dis-
position in the other direction. Many
unfinished hogs have been coming to
market recently and the packing at the
western centers last week was 85.0001
hogs greater than a year ago. Since
March 1 the Increase has been 3.420.000
hogs. Pork advanced 22%c last week
for January while May closed unchang-
ed; lard closed 2%c to 25 higher for
the near futures against declines of 6
@7%c for December to May inclusive
and ribs closed 40c higher for Septem-
ber 37 %c higher for October and un-
changed to 5c lower for distant months.
Sid Peterson stockman of Kerrville
accompanied by Joseph Bader of the
some place arrived in the city yester-
dav having come overland by touring
car. They report a pleasant trip but
say that everything looks awfully dry
all along the road and that grass is be-
ginning to look more like shavings than
green blades. "Kerrville was not Includ-
ed in the rain belt enough to get any
of the recent showers which are report-
ed as having passed over Texas and our
ranchmen are in about as dire need of
It as any othera jn the country' he
said.
T. C. Rhea livestock agent of the
Katy left this morning for the wfst.
where he will supervise the loadlng'of
several train loads of live stock to be
shipped to Kansas City and the northern
markets.
W. H. Davis of Gonzales wat a visitor
at the Cattlemen's exchange today. He
surprised the stockmen by taking a
rather optimistic view of the livestock :
situation saying that conditions gener-
ally are favorable in and about Gonzales.
"We got a good share of the late rains."
he said “and are sure of making a good I
grass crop. Our cattle raisers wouldn t
turn down a good rain if it wks offered
them but they are pretty well satisfied
and the markets are about the most un-
favorable features of the livestock situa-
tion now.
A G Ragan a prominent atockman
of Robstown is in the city. He- reports
the coast country around and about Cor-
pus Christi was tn good shape saying
that the recent rains that skirted San
Antonio were general in that section.
"More attention Is being given the mar-
keting of cotton now than cattle" he
eald. "The markets are too low to in-
terest stockmen who can comfortably
hold their atock.”
J. W. Stallon. stockman of Beevnie.
was s visitor at the locaL-Xtock yards
today. He. in company with D. Bennett
of Cuero made the rounds of the local
pens and was pleased with the modern
dipping vat. He said that he was sure
that no other dipping vat In the United
States could do more good towards rid-
ding Texas of the cattle tick than tne
one located here.

trading was dull with a little more cell-
ing than buying the selling coming from
those who were impressed with the ex-
pected besrishness of the pending bu-
reau reports and the buying from shorts
who were .satisfied with their profits.
At the end of the first half hour of
business prices were B©9 points under
yesterday's close. 1
The maraet was In a Waiting attitude
throughout the morning session as a re-
sult of the nearness of the bureau re-
port on condition and ginning. Weather
reports were favorable and the forecast
promised continued fair weather over a
large part of the belt hut the bears were
not much Inclined to Increase their short
lines. Around the middle of the morning
the buying of covers to realise profits
became very heavy and the market be-
gan to recover. At noon the trading
months were unchanged to 3 points down
compared with yesterday's close.
In the afternoon session there was
heavybuylng on the part of the bullish
Interests In evidence. This support
seemed to be based on the rumor that
foreign spot people and spinners were
quietly buying in the Interior. At 2

THANKSGIVING TURKEY
CHEAPER THIS YEAR

Record Quantity and Prices
I Will Be Moderate
— The rapid approach of Thankaglvlax
and tha Christmas holldaya lx caualnx
• etlr in local produce circle** Dealers
in poultry are taking ateps to invtetl-
gate the turkey Mtuatlon and determine
'whether or not the local housewife shall
pay 30 canta or 30 cents for her Thanks-
giving or Christmas supplies. From
president Indications the 30-cent turkey
will be a thing of the past as 20 cents
will cover the cost of oven the choicest
fowl. The turkey crop ot Texas this
year shows evidence of being ot the
"bumper" variety. '
l*reaent Indications are that the com-
ing turkey season on the Hon Antonio
market is going to bo the largest on
record. Inquiries have boon Coming nu-
merously the past few days from buy-
ers and growers in those sections of the
state that produce turkeya for thia
market aoncernlng the outlook for the
demand and whet pricea are likely to
be fixed. Alt reports Indicate that tha
turkey crop will be a bumper one thio
foil and some of tha produce men ven-
ture the opinion although they admit
that It la yet too early to prophecy
that prices will fall a good deal below
last year. -
A few turkeya have been arriving
dally for the past week and the de-
mand Is already beginning to be felt.
l*rlce» today are quoted from 12% to
16 cents |>er pound. This Is believed to
Im* a sample price for what turkeya are
likely to bring the latter part of the
season when the demand la the heaviest.
Practically all produce concerns that
deal in poultry at all will put up tur-
keys this year. It is stated however
that one of the largest packers of tur-
keys will not operate on a large scale
this year. The regular packing houses
will run to capacity.

Mr. Blahap Enjoyed Trip and Secured
Many New Ideas.
W P. Bishop chief of the Sane An-
tonio tire department returned this
morning from Milwaukee and Chi-
cago. where he attended the annua!
convention of Are chiefs and «nsp«ct-
ed the display of modern Are Aghting
apparatus. He has been absent two
weeks
' I T may get back into harness to-
night" said Chief Bishop today. "It
has been a st r enuous trip for me the
Milwaukee firemen treating me royal-
Iv I am glad I attended the meeting.
I had an opportunity of studying the
most modern equipment used tn Are
fighting and may later make certain
recommendations 1 cannot say now
•lust what these recommendations will
be San Antonio’s fire department
population of the city considered is
splendid as compared with depart-
ments of other cities."

COFFEE HIGHER
SUGAR DECLINES
Market In Both Commodities
Very Active—F ir s t Car of
Evaporated Apples Arrives.
Coffea la going up and sugar la earn.
Ing down. Ono will about offant ths
other however and tho eouumar finds
little beraflt aa tar as the dally cost
of living Ie concerned. A record prion
wae eatabllahed In the eoffee market
yesterday when apot values cold at 12.91
cento on the Now York exehanso. Thio
was the result of a liberal demand from
those who took .advantaas of tbs high
market aold and bad to buy again. Fu-
ture coffee however waa several points
lower an there waa eomo Milins prea-
oure due to a weakneae in the European
marketu. a ■-«
Sugar while atoady oeemod on the
down grade over 140.000 baga from tbs
new San Domingo crop for delivery be-
tween January and April bringing much
lower prices than ths current quotation
so far thia week. The fact that Ar-
buckle Broa. have been taking orders
for KraaulateSkßunr st 6.76 cents not
is taken by local jobbers to moon etill
lower pricea for all gradea of refined
sugar In the near future. The local mar-
ket has taken no advance or decline tn
auxar for aeveral weeka. Coffae how-
ever. hua advanced fractionally on all
loose roasted grades. The retail quotas
Uons on neither have been affected.
The eeeaon'a flrat carload of evapor-
ated applea to arrive on the local mar-
ket waa received today by the Gugen-
helm-Goldamlth company. The pack of
evaporated applea tn California thia
year la reported extremely light and
pricea have taken an advanced and very
firm atand. Tbe opening pricea on ap-
plea thia year la 13 centa per pound
against an 11-cent quotation thia time
laat year. Other varieties of dried fruits
however are ahowlng aq eaatng up in
pricea which la due to a freer move-
ment from the eooat. Evaporated peach-
ea declined %c per pound. Thia Ie the
second decline in peachea since the
opening quotations and the lower fig-
ures have resulted in an increase In bus-
iness. and heavy aalea have been made.
Accurdlng to local jobbera It looks ae
though the market had about reached
its level for this season and with the
small quantity remaining unsold in
California any big demand would have
the effect of materially advancing
valuea
A carload of fancy banaoaa and lem-
ona from tbe Tampico district in Mex-
ico attracted a great deal of attention
among fruit buyers on the produce row
today and for awhtle it seemed that the
California stocks would be a secondary
proposition. The lemons were (n fine
condition a good size and excellent fla-
vor. The bananas were large and thick-
ly grown. The lemon consignment waa
the first to .be shipped out of Mexico
to this market in many years. The quo-
tations on both fruits are the same as
the current prices on the California va-
rieties.
On account of the abort crop of corn
in most of the other aecttona of tha
country Baltimore cannera are prepar-
ing to make Rood the shortage as well
as they can in their section by import-
ing heavy amounts of corn from vari-
ous points In Maryland where the crop
is good. The corn pack this year is to
be the lightest in years. Corn and to-
matoes are considered the moat favored
canned vegetables on the American mar-
kets and wtth thane two varietlea on
the short list the consumer la becom-
ing very pessimistic. Canners of sweet
potatoes and spinach report tho largest
demand for these commodities since
they began to can them three or four
yeara ago. Both met with a good de-
mand aa soon as they were put on tho
market and the demand baa ateadlly
grown.
The continued high feeling in tho
grain market la affecting the local quo-
tatlon on chops bran and cereals wheat
bran was marked up 6 cents per hun-
dred pounds today making ths price
$2B per ton.
George Sgitcovlch and company re-
ceived today a carload of watermelons
and a car of mixed Colorado vegetablsa.
