IJattle Creek Concern, According to
Rumor, Is Laying Plans to Sell Its

Creamery butter declined to 26 cents yester-
day an a result of heavy stocks and liberal re-
ceipts. Hens aud frying chickens are selling at
a top price of $0 for tbe most desirable fowls,
and the market is not adequately supplied.
Eggs are unchanged, but the market will not
permit of more liberal receipts for the present.

Flour declined 10 cents a barrel; corn chops

has advanced a nickel to $1.35.

A circular, lwaued by nn Indianapolis company,
lays there will be no cheap tomatoes this year
owmg to the fact that the government has prd-
hiblft-d the use of barrel pulp and made regula-
tions that will increase the cost <>f packing, and
concludes by saying: "The result if that many
packers have decided that the trimmings from
their tomato pack will be URed for fertilizer,
and will not attempt to mako pulp. This de-
cision is going to make the cost of packing to-
matoes hi these factories much higher. Here-
tofore it was a very sinal factory that did not
make 1CKX» barrels of pulp or more during the
season, and the pulp netted $1 per barrel, mo
that the packer had $1000 as velvet to help off-
set the cost of putting (he tomatoes in tins.
This year the cost to pack will be much in-
creased and the packer will be without thii
'side money' to help on the expense. It does not
necessarily follow that no tomatoes will be sold
at ;i low price, for with a big production in the
East and a sluggish market, prices may sag,
but if any packer in this part of the country
who has packed good goods sells at less than
82Va cents he will be reducing his profit, and
below 77Vi cents he will be losing

UNION STOCK YARDS, April ll.-Re-
celpts today comprised 56 cattle, So calves,
49 hogs, 12 lambs and 11 horses. One
load of cattle was on through billing
from Nixon to New Orleans, which cut
the actual offerings down to about 100
head, most of which were calves. About
half of the supply was from local feed
lots, consisting of heifers and calves,
which ranged In weight from 340 to B70

Sjiio™ m country sold at 13.00 West of tho Mississippi
if he gets
part of the cost of production. No packers in
Indiana are anxious to book future tomato busi-
ness, and are only taking orders at full prices
from insistent former customers. So far as we
can learn, acreage for this year is about nor-
mal. The packers of fancy and extra hand
packed tomatoes have so lar had good business
at fair prices, and are not worried about the
future, except for a fair yield."
♦ ♦ ♦
A Battle Creek cereal concern" Is to depart
from its usual custom of selling the retail trade
one case of goods at a time, according to the
latest rumor, and instead will furnish the re-
tailer with as many cases as he may desire to
purchase at one time, and will be allowed to
give away ten packages on each case he sells.
The company will rebate the dealer for these,
and in adition allow him the profit on them.
The move is said to be due to the steps recently
taken to exploit another cereal by a rival con-
cern. One provision in the deal is that the re-
tailer must furnish the manufacturer with the
names and addresses of the parties who receive
the free packages. It looks like a scheme of
the manufacturer to place himself in a position
where he can later ou deal direct with the con-
sumer and incidentally induce the retailer to
cut his own throat.

as prices are concerned, but the quality
offered today might have been consid-
eragly better. The bulk of the sales
were at $5.50. A few of the horses were
shipped out to other points and a few of
them came in consigned to local horse
dealers.
Cattle Clatter.
No use to talk about importing live stock
from Asia, Africa, the Philippines and the
Hawaiian Islands, and other dependencies
of this contry, for it Is strictly prohibited.
The foot-and-mouth disease, rinderpest,
surra and other diseases exist in those
countries, and if any reports get scat-
tered abroad that cattle for our marshy
lands will be brought over to fill a long-
felt- want, Just put it down that the man
who Is advocating It Is seeking some

confusion existing as to the proper desig-
nation of hog diseases. For many years
hog cholera was supposed to be due to
a particular kind of germ, but recently it
was discovered that the disease is due to

the most powerful microscope and which

"The bad roads on account of the rains
will delay getting the clip to Kerrville
for a day or two, but we are glad to
wait, of course," said he Tuesday. The
rains have been general and copious and
and streams, which have been dry for
two years, are running as of old^ and
all the springs are giving forth sparkling
water wkewi.se. There was considerable
hail aira some damage was wrought to
crops between Comfort and Fredericks-
burg, but still the oat and wheat crops
will be marvels in point of yields all over
that section. Mr. Giles would make no
prediction on the price of mohair, but
the fact that one clip at Uvalde vhas re-
cently sold at 36 cents has had a ten-
dency to encourage him somewhat in the
outlook.

Chicago, which had 3000 cattle Monday,
reported that market "weak at the de-
cline, but failed to say how much it
declined. It felt rather confident, how-
ever, that the shippers would find out and
that they would not consider it a shame
to take the money. The report to The
Express early Monday morning stated
that the market was ten cents lower,
put the addenda "and then some" might
have been added with propriety when
o-S market closed. That market had
^000 yesterday, and was reported weak,
thus setting a very bad example for
the other markets, which do nothing un-
til they hear from the king bee.

The Express noted a couple of weeks
ago the report that the Mexican Govern-
ment had levied a tax of $10 per head
on cattle exported from Mexico and fol-
lowed this up with a denial of the cor-
rectness of the rumor. To make assur-
ance doubly sure, however, tlie true situ-
ation was investigated at the seat of
government in the City of Mexico with
the result that there is an export duty
on live stock and poultry from tho State
of Sonora, the only state bordering on
the United States which exacts an ex-
port tax. The duty on cattle, horses,
