Mules and Horses
Fort Worth, Texas. (UP)—
The government of Turkey will
have to pay cash if it buys the
2,500 Texas mules and 2,300
horses that it wants for use in
its army.

commerce a request for quota-
tions on the 4,800 animals. The
nationa! aiso announced that
it wanted credit until 1941.
Traders at the Fort Worth
stockyards looked at the re-
quest, and nobody appeared
who wanted to do business on
credit with a country so far
away.
