MARKETS OF THE CITY, THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD CM IBi PRODUCE 01 CATTLE GRANT CHARTERS FOR NEW BANKS January Sees Another Big In dication of Prosperity in Texas—Crop Prospects. During the month of January 13 bank* were chartered iu Texas with a paid up cap ita! of In addition to this seven other banks amended their chartris, increas ing their capital stock from $130,000 to 9230,000, thus making a total paid up capi tal for the banks of Texas 900,902,465 to begin business with on the first day of Feb ruary. The new bank, receiving charters are the Durkhurr.ett State bunk of Burkburnett, Wichita count: First State Bank and Trust company of Waco: Firat State bank of Hills- Itoro; Farmers* Suto bank of Quanah; uips* cvmb Bank and Tiust company of Luling.

With the enormous loans which been recently placed in the state by the northern capitrlists for industrial and commercial pur poses. »n addition to the large working capi tal of the state bankers, the busiiwss situa tion nt the beginning of the year is big with promise. Despite the fa t the cntlook for cotton is not quite as favorablo as it seemeo some few weeks ago on account of the dryer wea ther, yet the larger acreage and the fact that no material harm has as yet been suf fered, the prospect even on this staple is still flattering. Boh the larger acreage and ground conditions arc favorable for other crops besides the general good- condition of stock for the early maikcts. With the splen did financial showing for the find month of ihe year the fact seems evident that each suceeding month will shew a material in crease in every portion of the state. STOCKYARDS TALK. It is not believed by kcal stockmen that ihe cold weather tow experienced will ma terially affect the market at this point. As there is not remaining a large amount of butchers’ stuff ready for market the cold snap will have no atfect upon either the quantity or quotations. Local shipments yes terday. despite the cold, weie larger than for any former day during the week. With each succeeding day the livestock quotations at some markets register some new topnotchcs. Yesterday cn the Chicago markets the highwater prico of hogs advasc cd five cents, making a quotation of 69.40. the highest price known since 1870 at that point. Fort Worth for the fifth consecutive day. advanced again yesterday when a bunch of hogs sold for $9.Q5. This is the highest price, and the first time in Texas Ivstory. That swine sold for this figure- Missouri also registered its highest quotations yester day when a drove of hogs at St. Joseph sold for 99.10. The Evana-Snider-Buel company had a shioment of Texas steers on the Fort Worth market Thursday. Edds & Thompson of Heb hronv’Ue also had a shipment of cattle at this market during the week. For the month of January ‘he receipts at the local yards totaled 13.104 head, uf these 5447 were cattle other than calves, 2157 calvci. 3830 hogs. 990 u-nats and 734 horses and mules. About half the grown rattle, or 2776 head, w re shinutd out. were 774 calves. 312 horses and mules. 1704 hogs and 986 goats. For the sane month Chicago received 271,- 992 crown cattle end 21.201 calves. As com pared with the same neriod last year this ehnwa a decrease of 966 grows cattle and 6420 calves. A. A.

Under the influence of the colder weathei ■ a lull ib noticed iu the vriumc of businaa* on the uoduce inurket. It is not believed I that any material damage will l»e suffered I by fruit or produce franc tin* cold spell un- I less it iray be on noxthern shipments in ; transit. . However, in the vegetable line a material ! ip notice !. Bonies and other grow- I ing plants have failed to ripen and mature, 1 thus causing a shortage of these products, I One crate of strawberries came iu and found | clearance at $ll i»er crate. Th<‘ market is well cleaned up on leltUC! I of all kinds and with the better grades teF" ing at $6 per barrel. Information from grow -1 er* if. to the effect that shipments will bf I forthcoming and that in due time a suffi cient supply will be on hand. Texas celery is u drag upon the market. ; from which the growers are not realising. ;Tho trouble, however, k not with the growth of the product but in the fact that the grow ers fail to bleach their stock before sending .it to this market. In comparison with the finely bleached California product it looks green and immature and consequently will not sell. Car receipts for the day consisted of one car each of cane sotd. oranges, seed potatoes and two cars uf apples. In the lot one car of apples were fancy Colorado stock. The market on eggs materially advanced under the colder weather and they are now finding clearance at 21-22 cents. Poultry is scare, and with a tendency toward higher price*. VEGETjIBXTO.

SEED POTATOES—Main Triumphs. Livestock have gone through the-winter so far much better than any one expected. We have had an exceedingly cold winter, but it has not been at all disastrous to cattle, and they have withstood the cold very remarka bly.” “Feeding cuttle of any quality are a mighty narco und high article this winter and •<» far 1 have been able to get but one load together,’’ stated R. A. Dil they, of White epunty, Indiana, while in Texas look ing for several loads of steers for feeding. I “There are very few thin steers to lie hud iu iny section and what are around will be put on feed in a short time and as a e»»usc quence to buy them I would have to pay a very big priep. They are selling too high on the market at the present for me to touch them If they do not icach a more reason ’ able figure I will feed just the one load this . vinUr. I have plenty of corn to feed and ' would sooner convert my graiu into beef ’ than to sell it straight. I look to see cattle sell pretty high the balance of the winter *as I believe there is a marked scarcity. I am going to half feed my cattle on com and • will give jn addition about two pounds of • cottonseed per dav and will use alfalfa meat. ’ I will continue the ration until grass when I will turn them into the pasture* and then finish them on com and meal the last 60 days.” EXCHANGES SELI ON SLOW DECLINE • Belief That Spot Holders in the Interior Weakening Regard ing Holdings. ui met inai me marxei as sumed a much stronger bullish tone yester day afternoon, legi&Htive agitation and tin disturbed wage conditions at Fall River Mass., seemed to further depress the marke and a weaker poaition was noted lor th< opening of the American exchanges. Thii ■ fact wa s again strengthened by the belie that the hpot holders in the interior an ; weakening with respect t<? theii holdings un< I seem willing to pert with tha staple at a , lower figure. • New ungui s, perhaps reflecting the trnei I position of the markets, opened practical!) level with yesterday on May and July, the* months being quoted at 14.86 and 14.94. Nev York came in on an advance of -I to a with the Muy and July offerings rogistercc at 14.6$ an<l 14.56.

The Difference 5 Acres of Cur Artesia Acres at S4O to $6O Per Acre Equals $2OO to $3OO. 5 Acres of Land Else where at $2OO to $5OO Per Acre Equals $lOOO -o 2500. The difference in your favor at the st ait is $BOO to S22OU; meaning that amount saved to you in the purchase of one of our tracts. These five acres near Artesia Wells that we are selling at $5O to $6O i>er acre are better than most and equal to any tracts for which the higher prices are asked. Our property is iu a well settled section of the country, where every convenience of country life is possible, good roads, good schools, chinches, telephone, mail and railway scmco right at your door. The three essentials are there —soil, water and favorable cli matic conditions. The district in which lands are located it in the heart of the great Bermuda onion bolt of Southwest Teaaa. While onion growing has so far been the principal trucking iudns trv. cauliflower, cabbage, celery, Cantaloupes, watermelons, oranges, grape fruit, figs, peaches, plums, jiears and berries will produce equally well. A few cows and chickens ou one of these tracts would insure au immediate income. By diversifying crops, planting part of vour acreage in oranges nnd fruits within a short time you can here own a never failing, profit-producing orchard. To handle one of these five-acre tracts requires only $12.’0 down and $lO monthly or for a ten acre tract s*2’.ou down and $20.00 monthly, with the privilege to pay any or all of the install ments nt any time.
