PROMISES BANKS
MUCH PROSPERITY
Significant Address of Thomas
B. Love to the Bankers of
Dallas —New Facts.
Thomas B. Love, in his address at the
banquet siren him by the bankers of Dallas
besides reviewing the general banking situa
tion of Texas, took up the theme of the
state banks and in their behalf presented
many facts of special interest and timely con
sideration. The full text of the address is
now being perused by San Antonio bankers.
Speaking from a legislative standpoint he
says that Texas had enjoyed exceptional ad
vantages from the* rulings of that body and
that the people have enjoyed more useful
and wholesome benefits from that source than
any other commenwerlth in the republic. In
this respect the people of Texas have mads
mora largely tho laws which have governed
them and by which they r.re governed than
any other body of citizens in any country.
Approving the many legislative acts of re
cent years, ho said: “Few things have been
dono here of greater benefit to all the peo
ple and to ell and grades of society
than the establishment, of the existing ay a.
tern of guaranty banks will prove.’’
Coming to th> state bank proposition,
whir!) he prefaced with its historr. ne said:
‘I think it can be fairly said 'mat the state
banking system of Texas is no longer an
experiment: that it has proven its efficiency
and has <ome to stay. But it is not alone
in the splendid growth of the state banking
system of Texas in its present numerical and
financial strength that the state bankers and
the people of Texas have a right to feel dis
tinct pride, as in my judgment it is not
those things which mearure the real excel
lence of a banking system. The real ques
tion. the paramount consideration, is and
should he, what advantage does the Texas
state banking system offer to the public?
What protection is given to the depositor
who is invited by the laws of the state and
by the state bankers operating under these
laws to leave his money on deposit with
state banks, to be used, it is true, for the
benefit of the public and the convenience of
the depositor, but also for the profit of the
banker. The answer. T think, of any candid
student of the subject must be that th*'
banking laws of Texas and the system and
methods of supervision being employed .in
obedience to its provisions contain even’ im
portant safeguard that is contained in the
national banking laws, or that is provid’d
for the national banking system, or that ob
tains in any other system of banking known
in the American republic, and that it con
tains many recognized and proven protective
neasnrea of andoubtad and unquestionable
value, which are unknown to any other aya
t“m.
The Guaranty Law.
' “As the result of the provisions of the
guaranty law. there is in the depositors’
guaranty fund at this time in cash the sum
of S368.306.2O. of which one-fourth or $92,-
076.55. is held in gold by the state treasurer
and the remaining three-fourth* is deposited
with the various banks contributing to the
fund, subject to cheek upon the order of the
stat* banking hoard.
“Under the provision permitting assess
ments before referred to, approximately dou
ble the amount of the existing fund. or
$736,612.40, can be realized upon the order
of th* state banking board in addition to
the cash in. the fund to pay the losses to
depositors accruing during any nne year.
Thus the total amount which the banking
hoard has at its command and which can ho
realized in cash during the year 1910 for
the payment nf depositors in closed state
Banks is $1.1 W4.91H.60. and this amount, is
being constantly augmented by the orgarti
tation of new state banks.
“As a result of the provision for addi
tional paymynts bv each bank of one-fourth
nf 1 per cent of its average deposits on or
before January 1. 1911. the cash resources
of th* state banking board will be augmented
on that date by not less than 25 per centum
of their present amount, and on January I
nf each year thereafter these resources will
be again augmented by at least 25 per cen
tum of their present amount until the / total
cash in the depositors’ guaranty fund shall
reach the sum of $2,000,000. when the total
cash resource* of the state banking board
avnilabb* for the payment of depositors dur
ing any one year will approximate three
tini*s that amount, or $6,000,000.“
Mr. Love closed bis address hy stating
that although the state banks had been in
operation about five year* not a single de
positor had lost a dollar therefrom, and now
wHh the guaranty fund system back of the
hanks., which at all times carries the ready
rash tn me’t any and all louses should such
occur, the state banks should enjoy a period
nf great confidence and prosperity.

MARKET TAKING
MiDSEASON FORM
I Commission Men Enlarge Or
i ders and Additional Cars of
Staples Are On Track, ..
The produce market is slowly taking in
mid-season form both from the standpoint
of supply and demand. Conforming with the
increased daily clearance on ail seasonable
fruits and produce, the commission men have
materially enlarged their orders and are now
receiving on track many additional cars of
staples. Car receipts today consisted of two
cars of seed potatoes, two cars of fancy ap
ples, one care eating potatoes and one car
of cane seed. These shipments were supple
mented with express shipments of tomatoes,
both Cuban and Mexican, strawberries, pine
apples, grape fruit and cauliflower.
.Strawberries made an early clearance to
day at $6 per crate. The fruit is fine and
well colored and sweet considering the sea
son of the year. The stock of pineapples re
oe-ived represented finely colored fruit ai.d
large, fair specimens. A ready clearance is
also made on grape fruit.
Some of the finest cauliflower of the sea
! son is now coming in from the Kan Benito
i district. The heads, whkh will average from
four to six pounds each: are said to be some
iof the finest ever received at this markfl
I which heads will conform well with the besi
I California stock. Re-sides the large size of
: the product the heads are pure white and
very edible.
The receipts on cabbage are normal with
I quotations tending higher. The Dickinson
I stock is selling quick at $2.50 per nttndrou.
Other cabbage stock is selling acording to
quality.
Prices are holdiug firm and level on ha
nanas. with the market wall Supplied with
good stock. A relief was felt on commission
row with the receipt of two cars of fancy
apple*. One car came from Missouri, which
contained barrel stock. Prices on this lot
will be quoted at $5.50 and $6. The other
car "consisted of fancy - Gano apples shipped
in crates, which will sell for $1.75 to $1.85
per crate.
Some fine genuine Maine stock was re
ceived in seed potatoes. The demand for this
grade is active with quotations unchanged.

points in several of the most active is- ।
sves. The prompt recovery toda.v on I
extensive buying orders is taken to |
mean that the liquidation of yesterday
was purely speculative instead of b
ing, as was intimated, the result of
’Patt's attitude toward the trusts.
The opening squirt, today brought out
celling orders, which carried the prices
backwards and excitement died down. (

STOCKYARDS TALK.
Mixed cattle to the number of 142 head '
and 21o hogs were the livestock offering*
of Tuesday. These two items figured large
when it was understood there was n<> more 1
marketable stuff to come in.
The feature of th* yards yesterday was a!
car of mix?d cattle. Of the bunch 30 "cro ।
calves whose total weight aggregated 9090
pounds and netted the cwner $l<'9.05. I our
heigers sold for $76.50: nine cows weighed
cTtMl pounds ami sold for $210.60 and two
hulls 2120 pounds and sold for
$»»3.6O. In sum total the cattle weighed 20,-
730 pounds and netted the shipper $759.75.
B. McClusky, formerly a hog grower and
poultryma m.f B*xtr county, but now a resi
dent of W lson county, was at the yards
ye tarday with a bnneh of hogs. McMeClua
k> aid he had just moved to Wilson county
and had, purchased a farm of 118 acrea gitu
ated on the graded road running from Stock
dale to Fl iresvillo and four miles from Stock
dale. Speak ng of Wlloon county Mr. MeCItia
ky said it was the banner hog growing com
munity. as feed of all kinds could he raised
there in abundance. Peanuts, corn, alfalfa
and other hog food ran be grown with the
greatest poasiple advantage ami at small coat
to the grower. “I now expect to raise more
hogs than ever before and shall come often
। to the stockyards with my product*.“
' W. H. McMahon, a farmer and stoekgrow
I er >f La Nalin county, brought in a rar of 31
head iuesda.i. ‘There is a large number of
; old ,'feers still od the ratiges." said Mr. Mr
Mahon, “which the owners are holding for
higher prices. With the present condition of
the pastures showing a large supply of win
ter grass ami weeds, the stockmen are in a
pm ,• . d tht ■ tie ”i । mm] fl »h
Farming in La Salle county is on a <<»mpnra
tiYclv small scale at the present time, but
the farmers who are there are in a pros
perous ondrtion. Winter plowing is practi
rally all done and the ground is in good
condition for spring sowing.’’
Milam county is an ideal section for swine
raising, for the reason that ui> to the time
for finishing hogs for market comes hogs ,
can be raised almost without cost on wild j
ipasf. .
There is no hog law in Milam county and
hogs range at will in the woods, after lieing
ear marked by the owners, ami they get fat '
ou the acorn mast that is there in abund
sure.
What the hog raisers get out of the hogs,
unless they finish them with some grain ra i
(ion is al! profit. Last ycar t 1909. there wa' '
a fine nostoak mast in Milam county, and
hogs had a regular picnic in the woods.
The mist crop wa< belter than ever be
fore and. it is said, not a bushel of corn 1
has been fed to hog* there since acorns be
gan tailing laM fall. These mast fattened
hogs shipped to Fort Worth brought good ,
prices on the narket Milani county will j
raise more hogs hereafter.
tyvticular car* should be exercised in load
ing hogs on cars for shipment to market in j
order that loss miy be avoided. Commission
men have tinj* and again warmul shippers ;
tc ba careful in leading and shipping th ’
hngs, hut some fail to bred the warning and
