The demand for live poultry in the
local market? has tor the past week
been unusually large and commission
houses have not been to supply
their trade. Hens and springs are de
cidedly scarce, which has put the
market in such a condition that a
good bunch of fat fowls put at its dis
posal at present would bring the best
1 rices of the season. San Antonio
merchants are quoting to the farmer
the best prices foy live poultry of
other market in Texas and still it
stems to be about the lightest sup
plied. Farmers iu -this section ' are
holding up their shipments aud in
creasing their numbers which has put
the local hotels and-, restaurants in a
position where all varieties of the
feathered fowl are becoming rather a
luxury. In their weekly letters to
shippers a well-known produce com
pany today said: "We are pleased to
report our market of al! kinds of
poultry scarce, receipts light and we
advise liberal shipments. Can use any
amount of butter, eggs and poultry
jou can ship."
There is too large a supply of
bunch vegetables on the market at

Texas English peas are down a quar

Market Fluctuates and Sells at
Lowest Figures In T h r e e
Years—Catle Weak.
Special Dispatch.
Fort Worth. Tex.. March 30.—The
lowest price since the last of Febru
ary, 1909, was reached In the porker
pens today when the market took 11
sensational drop of from 10 to 20
points and landed at 36.25 on best
grades. The supply put at the dis
posal of cunuuixxion men was noth
ing over liberal, auiouuting u> 3200
head, but in of the unusual grind
prices and liberal offerings uhich
have been on this market for the last
two weeks, buyers had ahqut all Qip
pork they wantd and the market had
practically no outlet. Ciinse*|iiently
the trade dragged and salesmen were
forced to resort to underselling in an
attempt to get rid of their supplies.
This proved disastrous and practically
half at the supply went sculeward at
the lowest prices in thjve years, 36.25.
The cow pens Seemed to share the
ill feeling and this department also
was slow. Receipts totaled 2400
head and tni'liidvd some of the best
conditioned livestock put at the dis
posal of the market this season. The
entire morning session was consumed
In trying to set a price agreeable to
both buyers and shippers and it was
late into the afternoon before any
kind of a trading basis was reached.
Beef steers then sold slow and weak
at 34.89 and $5.10.

With less than 100 head in the yards,
the market in the cattle pens today
did not make anything like a striking
appearance at the opening nor did it
develop anything of a satisfactory na

gressed. There was q. strong demand
j for beet cattle, while common Stock

I a bad trade buyers could have

which was put at its disposal. Early
sales were made on a steady basis
I with yesterday's prices, cows topping

. 84. Calves were steady and active
at $6.
The porker trade had at its dis
