FORT WORTH, Tex., June 3.—Practi-
cally every road entering Fort Worth
brought In cattle for Wednesday's mar-
ket, the supply totalkig .'MM head of cat-
tle and .'104 calvos, about 600 of which
were billed through, leaving 3300 head for
local use. This whs by far the largest
run offered any time since the flood.
Salesmen found conditions very Halls-
factory, most all classes of cattle selling
to better advantage. «n addition to the
fresh supply, salesmen had ab^ut 900
head to dispose of that did not sell Tues-
day.
With more than enough steers to go
around, packers did not ride over sach
other in order to make their buying, but
at that the selling side found conditions
improved over those of Tuesday.
About sixty-five cars of steers were
on offer, a portion <»f which was held
over from Tuesday. All classes of beeves
wrre represented, but the general quall-
ty was good. At the start the trading
was slow, salesmen attempting to boost
values a little, claiming that prices are
still out of line with Northern markets.
Packers were trying to buy on a steady
basis, but after a short time some con-
cessions were made by buyers, and the
bulk of stuff, more particularly the light
weight cattle, commanded stronger
prices.
Although fully sixty cars of cows wero
on offer, the market ruled active and
strong, Tuesday's weakness being over-
come and Monday's slight advance being
fully recovered.
Common bulls were draggy and sold
on a slightly lower basis, while the bet-
ter kinds found a fairly good outlet on a
steady basis.
Shippers of calves found conditions
against them. Koreipts wpre fairly lib-
eral, four or live straight cars being
yarded, and packers were slow to take
hold. Most sales looked 25 cents lower
than Tuesday's prices.
Although hog receipts were llpht, only
600 head arriving, all of which wore from
Texas, the market ruled 5 to 10 cents
lower. Northern markets w»»ro lower,
and with no outside competition here,
pa<-krrs did not hesitate to place their
bids in line with those elsewhere.
Sheep receipts amounted to 1107 head,
four decks of which were consigned to
Swift & Co. The market ruled higher,
some fairly good lambs bringing $f».00,
and some yearlings bringing 54.50. Trad-
ing was slow, however.
Cattle Clatter.
The markets opened up in good shape
Wednesday except that Fort Worth had
too many. Again Chicago had 11.000 cat-
tle and was quoted steady to a shade
stronger. Kansns City was strong with
3000, and St. T^ouls and Fort Worth
steady, with receipts of 3500 and 300ft. re-
spectively. Chicago only had 12.000 cattle
last Monday. This makes the lightest
receipts on Monday and Wednesday of
the same week for several years.

Fort Worth had too many cattle Tues-
day, but that was not the result of any
heavy run from South* Texas. Felix
Shaw had four loads of 913-pound steers
that brought $4. and Mitchell & Blalack
had a trhln that brought $4.30 and aver-
aged somewhere In the neighborhood of
101ft pounds. These prices were good
when the disposition of the parkaers was
not to take hold with avidity. Steers
were at least 1"> cents lower than the
close of last week, and additional high
water, which may interfere with the free
movement of products, was sufficient ex-
cuse for the packers to touch lightly.

Whole trains of Southern stock cattle
are moving to South Dakota pastures
through the Sioux City gateway. These
Mockers are principally Texas-bred and
the Milwaukee road Is taking most of
them from the Burlington at Sioux City,
their destination being fenced pastures
on the Cheyene and Standing Rock res-
ervations west of the Missouri River.
Very few Southern stockers will be
thrown on the open range in South Da-
kota this spring, but the big, fenced
pastures will be crowded to the limit
as rentals must be paid. The estate of
the late Nelson Morris Is moving sev-

E. C. Gibson, the salesman for the

the goods again Wednesday by selling
the twenty car loads of light steers ship-

were the product of East Texas, and
wero not very heavy, as they averaged
860 pounds. Mr. Gibson. It will be re-
membcrud. made the first high record
before the high water, and he steps right
back Into his accustomed place since
the waters have receded. He also sold
for Matthew Cartwrlght of Terrell two
loads of South Texas steers, fattened
in the latter's feed lots, at $5.95, which
averaged 1220 pounds.

STREET GANG CLASHES
AND STRIKE RESULTS
UNEXPECTED TURN 13 TAKEN IN
ROW OF LABORER8.
Strikers Return to Work in Afternoon
but Only After Police Protection
Had Been Given Them —Trou-
ble Was in the Wage Scale.
A surprise greeted those in chargc
of tho luylng ot the conduits on Hous-
ton Street yesterday morning. and
for u time It was thought that tho em-
ployed und unemployed would clash. Tho
police prevented this, however, und lute
In tho afternoon some of tho men re-
turned to work with an increase in wage*.
Tho contract for the laying of the con-
duit was let by the Sua Antonio Gas und
Electric Company to the G. M. Gcst Coin-
puny of Now York. The company is be-
ing represented hero by It. Meredith and
G. A. Parker, who when work Htarted
made contracts with a large number of
men to work for 11.25 per day. This did
not meet with the apmval of the unem-
ployed, who, shortly after 8 o'clock yes-
terday morning, made a demons!rution.
The inen weru driven from the ditch und
only returned upon the assurance of po-
lice protection.
The urrlval of the police seemed to
check the crowd, which numbered some
30o, including sightseers, und the men
that returned to work were given an In-
crease in wages-$1.50 for ten hours.
Later In the afternoon some of the men
dropped from the ranks and demanded
$1.50 for eight hours' work.
"Tho trouble," said tine of the bosses
on the scene, "was caused by a negro
agitator, who talked to the men as they
quit work on Monday night. Finding
they would not leuve work this morning,
he organized tills gang."
RIO GRANDE COTTON FIELDS.
Much of the Staple Will Be Raised in
the Cojntry South of San
Antonio,
One cotton field of over 3000 acres and
hundreds of smaller ones In tho extreme
southwestern section of the State proves
beyond peradventure of a doubt that a
goodly part of the Texas supply of cotton
in the near future will como from the
Rio Grande country, which has heretofore
been regarded as little short of worthless,
according to J. E. Cappleman. Mr. Cap-
pieman has Just returned from a business
trip to Cotulla and says he was agree-
ably surprised with what he witnessed on
every hand In the way of crop conditions.
The remarkable cotton field referred to
1s located, he says, near a small town
called W oodward, some eight miles north-
west of Cotulla. It Is owned and op-
erated by D. J. Woodward, one of the
leading planters of the K'tate. The cot-
ton is now some six or eight inches In
height, and as fine of appearance as Is to
he found on any of the larger farms of
East Texas, says Mr. Cappleman. A
large crew of hands has been at work
chopping the cotton for tho last two
.weeks, und It will be several days
jet before the big task Is completed.
Onions galore are being raised down
that way, Mr. Cappleman says. Big
ranches are being cut up into small farms
and the steady growth of the country Is
indicated l>y clusters of new farm cot-
tages that dot the country all along the
railroad. For Instance near the new town
of Ciurilendale, in LaSalle County, Mr.
Cappleman counted eleven new farm
houses all within an area of a few miles.
None of the cluster had been painted,
showing their construction to have been
very recent.
The recent fine rains, he says, have ex-
tended as far down as Cotulln and tho
farmers are rejoicing over the exceeding-
ly fine crop prospects.
RAISED BILLS'ARE FOUND.
Five Dollar Notes Converted Into
Twenties—Circulated at Houston.
For the last three years secret service
men In this part of the country have
confined the practice of raising United
States currency to a minimum, in fact,
so close have they kept up their vig-
orous operations against this practice,
that few cases have been reported.
Recently a few raised bills have been
located in Houston. Upon investigation
by the officer In charge of this district,
several bills were found. In each case
they were $5 notes raised to twenties.
The bills have been In circulation In
Houston several months and it was only
after a rigid search that ull were found.
The work upon the raised bills is very
good, although !t Is not that of an ex-
pert, as In places the foreign cover Is
placed over the printed matter. The In-
vestigation upon the part of the Secret
Service Department has revealed the
fact the alterations on the bills had been
made some time ago.
Secret Service operatives suggest that
all persons examine all money coming
Into their hands. If it does not appear
?ood It should be shown to someone
amillar with currency,, and If they can-
not determine whether or not it Is good,
refer the matter at once to officials at
the Federal Building.
ISSUES city
John D. Rullman Finishes a Work Con-
taining Much Information.
John D. Rullman has Just finished a
very complete map of the city, showing It
as it Is today, with ull the spaces Indi-
cated on older maps as mesqulte brush
cut Into city additions. One of the prin-
cipal features of the map is that the lots
are so numbered as to be an Index to
the books of the County and City As-
sessor. Property found on the map can
thus be looked up on the books In these
offices when Information concerning it
is desired more In detail.
In addition to all streets and alleys the
map shows both electric and steam rail-
ways, and the winding driveways of
Brackimrldge Park. Thirty-eight new
additions will be found marked out. The
largest of these additions contains 700
acres.
Fort Sam Houston is included in detail,
the map showing the officers' buildings
and soldiers' barracks.
Among the buildings shown and
described aro eighteen public buildings,
thirty public and twenty-one private
schools and academies, sixty-three
churches, twenty-four private Institutions
such as lodges, and seventy factories and
mills. Each building Is numbered and
the corresponding number on top of the
map will give a description of It.

plement supply house In San Antonio In
the near future Is the direct object of
the visit of Leroy Trice, bunker, und
former railroad man, who is now in the
city from Palestine, his home. The
movement Is backed by the G. A. Kelly
Plow Company—the only Implement man-
ufacturing company of Texas—ot which
Mr. Trice Is vice president.
Mr. Trice says that for the present
some local building probably will be
used as a home for the business, but
that later on It Is proposed to erect a
new structure. The warehouse here-wlll
be used as a basis of supplies for SeWth-
west Texas and Mexico. Mr. Trice has
made two or three other trips here on
this mission during the last few months
and the plans will he brought to a def-
inite head within the next few days, he
cays.
The present factory of the company In
I.ongvlew was erected at an original
cost of $150,000. An addition, wlilch will
exuetly double the plant both as to slie
and capacity, is now nearlng comple-
tion. The company ha-s heretofore con-
fined Its operations only to plows. It
has now begun the building of all kinds
of farm machinery, vehicles, wagons and
hay presses. When completed It will be
one of the largest structures of Its kind
south of St. Louis. The operations as
to trade have heretofore been confined
solely to North Texas and Oklahoma.
A unique feature of this factory Is
that only Texas timbers, and as far as is
possible, Texas pig Iron, is used In the
construction of the implements. Home
Industry Is featured In the advertise-
ments, Inasmuch as Taxa* labor Is em-
ployed all together.
The San Antonio house will be under
the management of J. E. Cappleman,
formerly of Sherman. Mr. Cappleman Is
assisting Mr. Trice In his present nego-
tiations.

Negligent Navigation Is Charged by
Both Parties to Collision That Sent
Gladiator Down and Cost Sev-
eral Lives,
LONDON, June 3.—Tho case of the
British Admiralty against the owners of
the American Line steamer St. Paul
cainc up for hearing today before Sir
John G. Barnes In the Admiralty Court.
The British cruiser Gladiator collided
with tho St. Paul off tho Islo of Wight
April 25, ami us a result the cruiser hud
to bo beached. The Admiralty claims
damages for the loss of the Gladiator,
alleging negligent navigation on the part
of the St. Paul. There Is also a cross-
action by tho owners of the St. Paul,
who claim damages against Captain
Lumsden of the Gladiator and tho navi-
gating lieutenant of the cruiser.
The company alleges that a good look-
out was not kept on the Gladiator; that
the cruiser improperly failed to puss tho
St. Paul on the port side; that the Gladi-
ator's helm was Improperly put to star-
hoard, and that she neglected to sound
the necessary signals. Tile allegations of
both plaintiffs against the respective de-
fendants are practically Identical.

Such a bill, says Brand
