under tho prc'euL uidpf uf sllnip, These
gentlemen are among tho largest operators In
hogs nj tho National yards and handled over
10000 cattle during the fat yoar, doing n.
business Of between three aud four million
dollars, lhoy arc recognized rs Hmo'g ,ho
active responsible and reliable commission
houses ut the National yArds, who Hre pre-
pared to do much larger business than their
former facilities would admit OIL
We name these three commission houses Ia
this connection, they being recognized NJ
representative houses md doing II large per
cent Of tho receiving buslnpss irom ToAW,
although there arc other slrungaud reliable
firms ~ the stock commission business NJ tho
National Yards, who contrula large business
from tho different stocll.rNising section Of the
West
II Is II notorious fact that there are no
stock yards In the United states where 50
large number OF business houses Hr0 70 be
found, who occupy so high u position for
honorable dealing and strict integrity, as Mo
found mt the National Yards Of 81. Louis.
We cannot locNte single instance where
shippers, Who have consigned Il",r stock 70
these houses, who huy0 lo, dollar or
we're dissatisfied with THO returns lron the
sales made.
The buyers congregated ut thu National
Yards represent all the larg. cities Of the
East, and n number from Liverpool, London,
France, and other great produce cenlers OF
Europe.
The average prices paid for stock NJ those
yards have been frequently higher than at
other primary markets, aud very seldom
lower.
Tue prestige this market has, especially to
The shippers Of Texas, is that II Is reached
quicker, and at lower rates OF transportation,
aud the saving in shrinkago occurring in |
long distances isa matter OF much |
importance.
There is one thing that has always been n
MYSTERY to US, that has never been satislac-
toily explained ltsomelimcs happens that u
boom is started in at tho Union stock yards
in Chicago, when prices advance from ten TO
twenty cents per hundred pounds |
over that paid at st, Louis, The
this announcement is made,
we find shippers in Texas who will at once
consign their stock to some commission house
in Chicago, not stopping to make the cnlcua- |
ton that the loss they sustain in shrinkage
by combining tho stock in the cars from
TO forty-eight hours longer, and
the difference in freight charges, will absorb
the gains they expect to make, and frequently
by the time they reach the yards in Chi
cago the price has fallen to the same paid in
St. Louis.
The average prices paid at the National
wards hns real to the OCULAR s. p RS of
Texas better net profit, than at any other,
market in the country.
We respectfully submit these facts to the
stock :rasers and shippers Of Texas for their
II they can realize the same
net profit at ST. Louis they could nj any
other market, the time saved, and, the gain
incident to shrinkage in shipping long dis
tances will not require n very learned mathe.
matician to demonstrate which Of the mark
cts Offer the greater inducements.
This subject is one Of much importance in
view of the fact that tho in reased shipment
in 1880 will far exceed those Of 1879. The
subject should be discussed BY the press
throughout the State.
We have undeveloped resources in Texas
outside of our great grazing interests that is
destined to place the "Lpue Stir State"
,mong the proudest and most important, rs
we'll as the most wealthy and inAuentalStstes
n the Union.
We require more emigration, pluck and en-
erprise 10 unock the wonderful resources
low waiting the hand of Industry.
