number of 3100.
3416 a week
a year ago,
1246 two years ago and 1986 three years
ago.
The number of good cattle was not as
large as on other days of the week, but
there were several loads of "dlcknailing"
good ones, while the bulk was made up
of medium weight and lower quality
Eteers.
Demand seemed to have evaporated.
The market Wednesday was active and
packers absorbed the whole supply with
hardly an effort. The belling side ox-
peeled a repetition of the market, par-
ticularly with a shortened supply of
good cattle on offer and Northern mar-
kets quoted steady to higher. Such ex-
pectation was nipped in the bud. for
one packer did not get into the trade at
all, and the o*her waited until after the
noon hour before closing deals. Trading
was naturally slow and the market ruled
weak to 10c lower. Top steers made
$4.35 with others nearly is good at $4.00ft'
4.25. Medium to good steers averaging
1000 pounds sold at $3.50. Many loads of
modi urn to good grass steers went out.
The supply of but -her cows ar.d
heifeis was liberal, fully equal to mar-
ket requirements. For this class of of-
ferings a broad demand prevailed and an
active movement followed.
The quality was fairly good, no strictly
choice cows being shown.
The general market price was $2*§-2.25
with a load or two of mixed cows and
heifers at $2.b5.
Bulls were moving slowly at prices
weaker for the week, most of the of-
ferings being stockcrs
Veal calves fell short
large marketings, and
followed. Selling was
Ftrong to 25c higher.
Hog receipts on the early market were
around a thousand head. This was in-
creased by late arrivals to 1850 head,
against 1466 a. week ago, if67 a month ago,
734 a year ago, 2X6 two years ago and
880 three years ago.
Quality at first was fairly good, with
heavy hogs lacking. The late comers,
however, proved to be of the best quality
shown this seison and brought the high-
est. price of the year, $6.57%, the highest
price since May 9, 1903. The bulk sold
at $6.47V(7 6.55.
"Pigs were steady. One load of mixed
sheep of a little better than common
killing quality came on the market. De-
mand for this class of sheep was poor
and selling was done on a basis 20 to
25c lower than last week's closing. Choice
heavy muttons were quoted steady. A
few lambs of medium quality sold steady

National Provisloner: At the time of
this writing a new meat inspection law
has been passed by Congress, and it is
still uncertain whether or not the Presi-
dent will approve of the bill which is to
he framed by the two houses in confer-
ence. Up to this time the President in-
sists on substantially wnat is tailed th?
lit veridge bill, while the Wadsworth bill
proposes material changes of its very
substance. Judging from the temper al-
ready shown in preliminary debates in
both houses quite a violent discussion is
to be expected, in rather flagrant con-
trast to the asounding difference of th3
Senators in passing "unanimously" (per-
haps a dozen members present and no-
body listening) the Beveridge bill. There
is no longer any doubt that the packers'
side will have a fair hearing and that
the Flanders will be properly repudiated
31 will also be definitely settled that the
American meat industry neither did ob-
ject nor does object to the closest in-
spection by the Government, provided
such inspection is fair and just.

Drovers' Telegram: The manner »n
which the buyers took hold of the
dressed beef steers yesterday was a gen-
tle reminder of olden times, about the
time in June when fed steers became
scarce and not enough matured grassers
are coming to fill the demands. For sev-
eral weeks salesmen have been been ex-
pecting just such a turn in the market as
developed yesterday morning, but there
had been nothing in store for them but
disappointment. Receipts continued re-
markably heavy in the first three days
and in the last three there were prac-
tically none. The system was to bear
prices while the run was heavy and to
put them up when they were limited;
consequently the general gain was of lit-
tle consequence. At just about the time
the heavy runs began to let up the agi-
tation against the packers and their prod-
ucts began, and while it did not demoral-
ize the markets, it served to prevent any
material advances at a time of the year
when prices usually go up sharply. A
great many salesmen believe that if there
had been no agitation against the packers
this year prices for the best grades would
he fully 50 cents higher at the present
time. There is no way of proving or dis-
proving this position, but it is a certaintv
that the movement of cattle in the last
two weeks indicates that most of the
fed steers have been marketed and that
there is every reason to believe that
"drylotters" are going to sell at materi-
ally higher prices in and before the first
part of Jul}.

John Dyer, the Fort Worth live stock
commission man, is hack on his old
stamping grounds for a few days. He is
not doing any soliciting, and it was ru-
mored that lie is down watching W. I».
Davis and W. T. Way. who have business
down this way. Mr. Way is out of town
and Mr. Davis did not seem to be ve»*v
much concerned over the censorship. Mr.
Dyer says the territory from which Fort
Worth derives her supply of cattle is
well fixed in the way of grass, though
there has been a few sections in the Ter-
ritories where rain was a little late com-
ing. "Fort Worth," said he, "was par-
ticularly pleased over the rains that fell
down in this part of the country early
last week. Reports had reached us that
it was getting a little dry for corn and
cqtton. Fort Worth wishes all sections
of the country well, but she is dependent

far as Corpus Christi. "Some good rains
fell along the line the early part of the
week,"' saitl lip to The Express, "and the
cowmen the world over are just alike
about rain. They aro always glad to see
it and are never in a hurry to have it
stop. The cattle are looking good every-
where I stopped and there is nothing to
prevent the South Texas man from mar-

he can always hustle up a string of fat

The next annual meeting of the Na-
tional Live Stock Exchange will be held
in Chicago July 19 to 21, inclusive, and
the stock yards gang are laying plans
to make it the most memorable meeting
in its history. The report containing this
information does not state how it will
differ from other meetings, but Chicago
possibly intends to persuade them to in-
troduce some new reforms that will no'
result in the exchanges being harassed as
trusts. Since the meeting last year Kan-
sas has outlawed the Kansas City ex-
change and the State of Texas is intent
on doing something to the exchange at
Fort Worth. It struck the disinterested
observer last year that the National Live
Stock Exchange wanted a good many

J. J. COFFMAN & CO.
James E. Ritchey, the Sedalia (Mo.)
who has been in San Antonio for so
many months that he might be called a
citizen, came up from Cotulla Thursday,
where he has bought about 32.000 acres of
International Great Northern lands,
and brought with him some products of
the State thereabouts. They consist of
four or five ears of corn and a stalk of
cotton taken from the field of Joe Co-
tulla. Missouri is not strictly a cotton
State, but she grows corn, and a Mis-
sourian does not carry a sample of corn
around unless it is a good one. The sam-
ples are on exhibition at J. J. Coffman's
office on Blum Street, and Texans as
well as Missourians are a unit in the
declaration that Missouri cannot beat the
corn and that few spots in Texas can
equal the cotton exhibit. "Mr. Cotulla
knows the secret of raising corn," said
Mr. Coffman. "He plows deep and he
doesn't want to scratch the dirt until he
gets ready to plant his seed. The land
that raised that corn will produce fifty
bushels per acre, and if this is an aver-
age of his field he will gather that much
this year. Deep plowing to conserve the
moisture and the proper selection of seed
corn will enable Texas to write an entire
new history on her agricultural produc-
tion during the next few years."

Regarding the 36-hour law which was
passed by the House of Representatives
Tuesday, as it came from the Senate,
Judge Sam Cowan of Fort Worth says;
"The new law leaves the present law
substantially as it is, but adds that, in
cases where live stock are detained over
twenty-eight hours from unavoidable
causes it does not .apply, and provides
that 'upon the written request of the
owner or person in custody of that par-
ticular shipment, which written request
shall be separate and apart from any
printed bill of lading or other railroad
form, * he time of confinement may be
extended to thirty-six hours.' Also ex-
cludes the time for loading and unload-
ing and requires suitable and properly
equipped pens. Sheep are not required to
be unloaded in the night time. Thus the
time is extnded absolutely for the length
of time required for loading and unload-
ing and on request of the shipper to
thirty-six hours. Of course the right to
extend the time to thirty-six hours on
request or a lesser time could not be un-
reasonably exercised so as to compel an
unloading at an unsuitable place and the
request would have to be made in a
reasonable time in advance of the un-
loading. That would be implied just like
it now is if the shipper wishes to unload
in less than twenty-eight hours."

W. D. Davis and wife of North Fort
Worth spent the day in San Antonio
Thursday. Mr. Davis is Mayor of his
city ami is also prominently connected
with the live slock commission trade in
that market. IMscussing the situation
gem rally, he said to The Express: "The
cattlemen of North and Northwest
Texas are in excellent shape, both from a
financial as well as a range point of
view. Rains have been reasonably abun-
dant, and while prices are not as good
now as they have been, they are suffi-
ciently seductive to attract heavy re-
ceipts of cattle at the markets. The calf
receipts in Fort Worth of late have been
heavy, averaging about 2000 head every
day. The price has been pretty good and
this, together with the evident desire of
the cattlemen to reduce their herds, has
caused the extra heavy runs of vealers.
Many of the big cattlemen are now in-
vesting in lands and city real estate, and
I could name a half dozen or more right
in Fort Worth who are investing in city
property rather than extend their hold-
ings in cattle. The settlement of the
country by farmers is, of course, the
prime factor in this disposition to buy
dirt instead of heifers." Mr. Davis is a
member of the Fort Worth Live Stock
Exchange and is as firmly convinced as
ever that he has not violated any of the
anti-trust laws of the State, but believes
that the courts and not the newspapers
are the proper place to decide the ques-
tion. He and Mrs. Davis left for home
Thursday night.

Burk Burnett lias recently sold some-
thing over 2000 2-year-oid steers off of his
( arson County ranch in the Panhandle to
George A. Keeline of Wyoming at $22
per head. This is about the top sale for
the year in Texas.

William Ritterling, up in Cheyenne, is
much obliged to a calf, as it saved him
from a prison sentence for theft. He
was charged with taking a $14 calf from
another man's range. The value of the
animal would not make it a penitentiary
offense, but the fact that it came under
the head of live stock made it such an
offense. The man who claimed the calf
had b. en stolen from him produced its
alleged mother. The calf, when placed on
the witness stand, repudiated the animal
produced as its maternal ancestor.

STOCK MARKET AN
UNKNOWN QUANTITY
PRICE MOVEMENT WAS QUITE
FEVERISH AND UNCERTAIN.
Shrinkage in Activity at the Higher
Levels, But the Close Was
Near the Best—The Fi-
nancial Markets.
NEW YORK, June 28.—Prices of stocks
moved in an exceedingly feverish and un-
certain manner today. This was owing to
the large extent to which the short inter-
est has ben built up in the course of the
rapid decline In prices and the heavy
liquidation for the last few days. The
liquidation was continued in larger vol-
ume in the early part of the day, but the
eagerness of the bears to secure their
profits and their precipitate rush to buy
for this purpose caused extensive recov-
eries in prices. From the one extreme of
the day to the other the oscillation of
prices therefore was violent and the ex-
treme st iiing was cut up by numerous
small vibrations, restraining the uncer
tain state of mind on the professional
operators who were attempting to follow
the market. Prices were well maintained
during the latter part of the day. There
was a notable shrinkage in activity at
the higher level, and the closing tone was
slightly irregular, but near the top.
Bonds were all unchanged on call.

A. P. Radial is up from the ranch, and
says they had enough rain down in
Karnes to greatly benefit them. "A goodly
number of the streams were made to run
briskly, and if stock water had been dis-
tributed around more liberally I don't
know that we would have needed any
more right now. We are ready for more
any time it comes, and now that a
beginning has been made wo shall confi-
dently expect more before the clou is
cease flying around."

Every live stock shipper operating on
the Han Antonio and Fort Worth mar-

cilities offered by the (5eo. W. Saunders

down at his pastures, where he has been
shipping some stuff to market and mov-

WHEAT CLOSED 3-4c DOWN ON
FREE LIQUIDATION.
Corn Succumbed to Ideal Weather
Conditions and Lost 1-2c—Oats
Unchanged—Provisions Un-
changed to 5c Lower.
CHICAGO, 111., June 28.~Excel!ent
weather for harvesting in the Southwest,
induced free liquidation of wheat today
and caused a. weak tone in the local
market. At the close wheat for Septem-
ber delivery was off •%<■; corn down J/fcc;
oats unchanged; provisions unchanged to
5c lower.
Notwithstanding bullish reports from
the Northwest, the wheat market was
weak all day. The market was domi-
nated by the situation in the Southwest,
where harvesting is progressing under
favorable conditions, very little rain hav-
ing fallen during the twenty-four hours.
The market closed fairly steady. Minne-
apolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re-
ceipts of 202 cars, against 189 last week
and 167 a year ago.
Ideal weather tor the growing crop
caused weakness in the corn market,
there being liberal sales by commission
houses and cash interests. The market
closed easy. Receipts, 471 cars, 237 con-
tract.
Oats were firm early in the day on a
good demand by commission houses, but
later the market eased off in sympathy
with the weakness of wheat and corn.
I he close was steady. Receipts, 14S cars.
Provisions were weak early on general
selling, but later packers bought liberally
and a steadier tone developed. At the
close September pork was off "ic. at $16.80;
lard was down 2'/ic at $8.92%; ribs un-
changed at $9.25.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 8 cars; corn. 417 cars; oats, 125
cars; hogs, 19,000 head.
