Foreign Markets Nervous Over Mexi-

peror of Austria—Stocks Un-
loaded in America.
NEW YORK, April 24.—European sell-
ing was largely responsible tor' the1 gen*
eral decline today iri «tock. Foreign mar-
kets were nervous over the Mexican crisis
and the depression due to this influence
wad increased by the illness of the Em-
peror of Austria. Europe unloaded stocks
here until long after the close of the Lon-
don nj-rtrfcet/ Selling for foreign account
was variously estimated at 30,000 to 50,000
|/^ shares. Canadian Pacific again was thrown
i oyer in large amounts by European hold-
ers. it was forced down more than five
points and reached, the lowest price at
whic h it sold since ty became a 10 per cent
stock.' New Haven alsp developed in-
creased weakness as did a number of
stocks, Mexican Petroleum, Smelting and
bout hern Pacific, which are' particularly
atfectea by the Mexican trouble. Bonds
wore lewer with active selling of ' some'
co onn^1"de issues. Total sales, par value,
*2,1.90,(00. Government bonds agaih Were
depressed with pronounced heaviness in
Panama 21s. The issue, which lost a point,
was especially sensitive, owing to the ex-
rjectation that if the Government should
joat a war loan it would be in the form
of an offering of these bonds. United

REMARKS'.
Liverpool is due to open from 2 to 4 points lower today.
Anyone who can successfully guess this market is entitled to win a big bunch
of money. The first three days of the week there was a well-defined bull move-
ment that scored a good advance. The past two days have been bearish and
feverish.
It was also said that Illinois dealers had
evidenced more willingness to contract
com for shipment to Chicago.
Plentiful moisutre helpful to growth
tended to ease down oats. Furthermore,
shipping demand was slow.
In the provision pit the offerings from
packers aud other louga were too heavy to
be readily ' absorbed'. Higher prices for
hogs failed to act as an offset.

leans was factor on the advance, while
bullish sentiment was also encouraged by
prospects for favorable week-end statift-
tlcs.
Active raoutLs sold about 3 to 8 points
not higher on tbe advance, but tho rela-
tively en8y ruling of May checked fresh
buyini; to soiue extent and the demand
beoume less mtive after the close of Liver-
pool. The week-end figures fully a sharp
falling off in the visible supply of Amer-
ican as expected, but failed to more than
temporarily check the decline and closing
prices were the lowest of the day.
The talk around the ring reflected con-
tinued nervousness with reference to the
near month situation. Liverpool was cred-
ited with trading both ways here today,
aird it was reported that some of the re
cent heavy buyers of May and July were
sellers on the afternoo;i decline.

There was but little stirring iu the cat-
tle market at the Union Stock Yards here
yesterday, because there were only 12 cows,
50 calves and 37 hogs offered for sale. Sev-
eral loads of goats were unloaded for feed
and rest., but were shipped on through to
Kansas City. They belong to C. J. Brother-
ton of Com stock, and numbered 435 head.
There were 114 horses and mules that were
also for through shipment.
The market was steady with no prico
chauges noted, except that hogs topped at
a dime higher than on any previous
day thi.i month.
C. C. French of the Fort Worth Stock
Yards has grown enthusiastic over the pos-
sibilities of raising higher bred cattle aud
hogs in West Texas. What is true of West
Texas is equally true of Southwest Texas.
Mr. French is quoted by the Fort Worth
Live Stock Reporter us saying:
"Central West Texas offers great possi-
bilities in the way of live stock develop-
ment. I can speak with assurance of all
sections but with particular reference to
Runnels County, where interest is running
high o$er improved cattle and more hogs.
There is every indication that baby beef
and pig clubs will prosper throughout that
thriving county."
This was the enthusiastic statement of
C. C. French of the Fort Worth Stock-
yards Company, who just returned from
Runnels County, which he toured nearly all
of last week, accompanied by prominent
farm lecturers. In the party were William
Ganzer. United States demonstration ex
pert; C. C. French, J. D. Tinsley of the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railway Com-
pany, County Superintendent E. L. Hagan,
County Judge M. Kleberg.
In bis address Mr. French reviewed the
history of the production of live stock
from the time the industry was in its in
fancy until its present apparent dying
stage. He told of his 1,600 mile trip over
the United States from the Llano River to
the Territory of Dakota In 1878. One of
the most striking things about the trip, he
said, was the many thousand heads of cat-
tle being carried to and fro, across the
country. „
"The settlers of the East,' said Mr.
French, "became dissatisfied about this
time and desired to go farther west. Many
of them settled in what ts today Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri. They
planted corn and this country became the
richest corn growing section in the world.
Residents of the belt raised so much corn
they burned it for fuel in the fireplaces
and their stoves, rather than sljip the
stalks out and ship coal in.
"A few years ago many head of cattle
were shipped out of the country annually.
Only recently 77,000 head of the finest cat-
tle that, had ever been raised, were ex-
ported to foreign countries. During lftl.J
not one single head of cattle left the shores
of the United States. Instead, this country
has been importing beef from the Argen-
tine Republic, eggs from China aud our
army is eating frozen mutton from Aus-
tralia."

BIG DEMAND FOR BROILERS
IF MANY EGGS ARRIVE NEXT
WEEK, PRICE WILL DECLINE.
Wholesale Produce Houses of Ran An-
tonio Were All Closed Friday to
Enable Their Employes to Wit-
ness Battle of Flowers.
The wholesale produce dealers of San
Antonio closed their doors at 12 o'clock
yesterday and gave their employes a half
holiday to euable them to go and see
the Battle of Flowers. The morning
hours were not very busy, due to the fact
that the greater part of the grocers had
decided to close their stores /or the aft-
ernoon, and there was but little time for
them to dispose of vegetables had they
bought any yesterday.
Today will be different, however, as
sum>lies for Sunday must be purchased.
This will create a good business for re-
tailors as well as wholesalers. It is likely
that there will be a scarcity of some
varieties of veipet^jles today, so that it
will bo necessary for buyers to be on
hand earlier than usual today.
No important chances in market quota-
tions were reported1 yesterday. There is
a big demand for young chickens. There
have not been enough broilers or friers
here at any time this season to supply
orders. Eggs will probably decline to lrt
cents next week. Country merchants and
farmers will do well to ship in their
eggs and poultry as early in the week
as possible. The storing of eggs will
aid in keeping up the price next week
to $4.00 or $4.75 per case.
