STOCKYARDS TALK
Chairman W. M. Waddell of Fort
Worth, of the live atock sanitary com-
Mission announced today that the Union
Stock Varda San Antonio, had Ixen
voted n state Inspector to be stationed
here to assist the national Inspector In
supervising the dipping of live stock in
the newly Installed vat at this point
Since new regulations have been In ef
fect which provides that cattle to be
shipped above the quarantine line must
be double dipped, there have been many
thousands of head of cattle shipped to
those points and since the San Antonio
vat has been recognized by the govern
ment and is ready for operation the
number will be added to materially.
This means much to the live stock In
dustry. The Sau Antonio inspector 1s
David Stoner.
D. W. McKinney, a prominent and ex
tenalve ranchman of McDona, Texas,
was a consignor to the local stockyards
today. Mr. McKinsey, in regard to the
cattle situation in his parts, was very
pessimistic, saying that everything was
as dry as a bone and that every day
ranchmen were forced ship cattle In
a half fat condition to market. "Had It
not been for the fact that my range
was in a desperate condition.” he said.
"I would never had marketed these cat
tle, today. Things have cotne to a show
down, -however, and we are absolutely
forced to lighten our pastures.” Mr.
McKinsey’s stock bore out his assertion
but beside the fact that they were a
little late in getting started owing to
their late arrival they sold at a pretty
good figure.
Louis Heyne of New Fountain was
on the market today with a carload of
mixed cattle which he sold soon after
arrival, the stock, considering its qual
ity, bringing extremely satisfactory
prices* Everything in my country Is dry
and the cattle are suffering. All stock
that looks the deast bit fat |g being
rushed to market and unless we bet
some rain things will In the next week
be of a decided desperate character.
It Is the opinion of John Folk, a
prominent ranchman of Hondo, that the
$3,000,000 stiles agency now under con
sideration by the Texas Cattle Raisers
association will be a great benefit to
the cattle Industry, and he is eager to
have the plan carried through to com
pletion. "The live stock Industry In Tex
as is rapidly waning and It Is up to
the cattle raisers themselves to control
the situation and desperate means
should be taken to get the markets from
under the rule of the packers." he says.
The Union Stock Yards, San Antonio.
Is now ready to dip any character of
stock to be freed of ticks and prepared
to be shipped to any point above quaran
tine line, whether In the state of Texas
or to northern markets or pastures. Cer
tificates will be issued by the United
States government inspector for all stock
dipped at this point. Our dipping vat
and facilities have been approved of by
both the United States government and
the state government. The yards have
ample shed room, good water and feed
while stock are undergoing dipping.

crease was reported in the amount of
wheat on ocean passage and there were
dispatches telling or unfavorable weath

‘only fair, proves sufficient to lift
prices in a gradual manner. The open

started at 95%@%c. a shade down to
a like degree higher and rose to 95%c.
Lightness of world's shipments gave
corn a firm tone. The market, however,
was slow. December opened a sixteenth

Although there was no trade in oats
worth noting, prices had an upward
swing. The cause was sympathy with
other grain. December started a shade
lower at 44%ftf5c, sold at 44%C, and
then rose to 45 %c.
Rather free speculative selling of pro
visions met with such evidence of buy

five cents down to five cents advance,
with January delivery $16.25030 for
pork. 39.02 %@ 9.05 for lard and $8.12%

Heavy rains retarding harvest in the
Canadian northwest led to further

IRON ANO STEEL REVIEW
Heavy Tonnage of Steel Building Orders
and Active Iron and Wire Trade
NEW YORK. Sept. 17.—A heavy ton
nage of steel building orders rolled in
to the fabricating shops and structural
mills last week. The new contracts
placed called for 40.000 tons of fabri
cated structural shapes, bringing the to
tal tonnage for the first half of Sep
tember to 60,000. Contracts from rail
roads while large, are only about one
fourth of the total.
Wire products were even more active
than structural material, all interests
sharing in the Increased volume of bus
iness. Car shops placed contracts for
5000 to 10.000 tons of structural steel In
the east and central west. Miscellaneous
orders for finished products generally
were larger, permitting an Increased
schedule of mill operations. 4
A slightly belter tone was evident in
nig iron with larger inquiries in the
eastern territories aggregating about
40 000 tons but the volume of new busi
ness was still very moderate.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 18—Cotton
futures opened steady at a decline of
4 @10 points on poor cables, continued
good weather in the cotton belt over
Sunday and encouraging crop accounta
from Georgia and the Carolinas. Mes
sages from crop experts traveling in
those sections said that the crop was
maturing normally and without deteri
oration. Some uneasiness was felt over
the tropical storm reported near Ja
maica but it did not lead to much buy
ing. First prices were the lowest in the
early trading. At the end of the first
half hour of business the market was
two points under Saturday's close.
A private condition report showing
deterioration in’ the crop of more than
three points since the first of the month
stimulated buying and absorbed the
rather heavy offerings that came out
on the recovery. At the middle of the
morning the weather bureau Issued an
other storm warning Anting that the
tropical storm In the Caribbean sea was
headed toward the Yucatan channel.
This helped the market somewhat and
prices for a while stood unchanged to 1
point under Saturday's last quotations
on the more active months. Toward the
middle of the day pressure to sell was
against put on the market ami at noon
prices were 7 to 8 points under Satur
day's close. * ...
The market closed steady at a net
decline of 4© 7 points.
After the noon hou rthe market was
very dull. At 2 o'clock prices were 5®

tions.

<f a aharp advance tn local quotation*
efore the week haa well atartod. Re
port* from Plymouth. Va., aay tho ex
port demand for American cheeM I* th*
largeat, at thia season of the year. In
history and. coupled with the fact that
tho amount of cheese that Is at prison,
being produced In the leading dairies I*
hsrdly enough for home consumption,
the market Is bound to see some high*,
price* generally. Canadian and New Torii
manufacturers have already reported
fractional advances on hoop cheese for
tho new week’s market. Wisconsin man
ufacturers snnounced an advance of %
cent per pound. The local market 1s on
the eve of an advance.
A potato acarclty is botng experienc
ed In San Antonio today, local produce
men this morning offering tho lightest
supplies of the Ktason and those few
Jobbers who are fortunate enough to
have any thing to offer are demanding
a premium for their stuff. The short
age however is only temporary, due to
the largest part of the produce row be
ing out of supplies st the same lime,
but these merchants have cars rolling,
some three or four carloads to bo la
here tonight.
The local quotation on Irish potatoes
today I* a full quarter per hundred
weight higher than Saturday at $2.35
Thi* advanced price is expected to bo
current all this week and a lower po
tato market l» not expected this season.
According to one produce jobber today,
potatoes have been selling on the San
Antonio market for the last two week*
cheaper than on any other market in
the state and now that the market has
become cleaned up of inferior stock,
good grades of potatoes will be the
only varieties offered and the consumer
will have to pay the price.
The local housewife should be able
to get her grape supplies from the cor
ner grocer or fruit dealer today un
usually cheap, the wholesale price of
grapes today being the cheapest In
years. Usually an oversupplied and
practically demoralized market on any
one commodity finds a whole lot of In
ferior stuff being offered but It is not
so with the grape market. The qualgy
of grapes being offered today far sur
passes that of last year, the grapes be
ing of a better flavor and size. They
are fine keepers and good seller*, th*
only difficulty being that the supply la
loo heavy, it is this way over the en
tire country. California vineyards are
working night and day getting tho
bumper grape crop out of the state and
prices have seemed no object. Black
Prince grapes are selling on the local
market as low us 90 cents a crate.
Whites and Tokays are lower propor
tionately. The market Is generally a
quarter per crate lower on all varieties.
Cranberries sold on the San Antonio
market at Christmas last year as high
as $14 per barrel, the highest price re
corded In years. This year, according
to advices received today from the cran
berry growing sections, price* bid fair
to exceed that record as the crop 1*
hardly up to last year’s standard and
the demand promises to be the heaviest
ever before known. The season s first
consignment of cranberries to reach San
Antonio Is due to arrive Wednesday of
this week, opening prices will be about
$8 50 per barrel, about the same as last
year.
While the amount of poultry being
consigned to the local market at present
is unusually liberal, the demand is
strong and fully able to take care of
the supply. Eggs and butter of the good
varieties arc very scarce, especially the
latter. Dry weather is said to be the
cause of the marked scarcity of coun
try butter and there is little evidence
of relief In the situation for several
weeks to come. Eggs of fresh country,
candled varieties are In demand and are
demanding a premium. The quotation
today Is 18 and 19 cents per dozen,
wholesale.
