That neither the American or British
markets were prepared to receive the gin
ners' report as issued todav bv the gov
ernment is strongly indicated by the bull
ish tone that has pervaded both thes*
markets since the report was issued.
At Liverpool tile report was received
with considerable concern and at once
the market became active at sharp ad
vances in prices. It also reported that the
tone of the American government upon
| receiving this report assumed a dedded
jly active attotude. The British board of
I trade in their report for November as is
sued at this time also declare a very
strong nnd active trade on both cotton
cloth and yarn.
I The tone of the local market is prac
tically voiced In the reports from New
Orleans and Liverpool. A general activity
ha* pervaded the operators who are ea
ger to take advantage of the situation
aa set forth in the glnners annual.

BUfCHERS’ STUFF
IS WANTED HERE
Large Amount' Is Coming In,
But Too Much of It Is Thin
and Will Not Dress Well,
With lite exception of Kansas City,
where 12.000 cattle were received and a
slow market prevailed, the general open
ing of the stock exchanges both locally
and abroad , was active. The 33,000 head
received at Chicago. St. Louis and Fort
Worth were not equal to meeting the
demand and a bulltail market was the re
sult.
it the local yards the receipt of fat
cattle and choice butchers' stuff was
light and strong quotations prevail.
"The demand for good butchers' stuff
for the local market Is strong,” said one
dealer. "We could handle a quantity
much larger titan we are receiving If it
could be secured. While tile re Is a largo
amount of botchers' stuff coming to mar
ket yet too much of tills grade is thin
anti will not dress to an advantage.
"Good iiogs mid calves are always in
demand and we can use all that comes
Ito us. Just now witli both the colder
weather and the approaching Christmas
season the local demand Is increased nb<-
terialy for meats of all kinds. However.
Unless we can supply a nice selection of
home killed meats our business Is liable
to suffer from the supply by the large
northern packers."
11. C. Story, a resident of San Marcos,
but a lunch owner of Dimmit. Webb and
Zavala counties, is in the city for a few'
davs. At the cattlemen's exchange lie
said he had just come from his ranches
and that stock through those counties
were looking fine.
"Although we have suffered material
ly from the drouth over tills territory
the recent rains over the southern por
tions have materially benefited the veg
etation and we have every indication and
hope that cattle will winter in good flesh.
There ate a great many old steers yet
in the country." said Mr. Story, "which
