day OF June, 1865, the last surrender un-
der the Confederacy, was received
by W. j. Locke, well known
San Antohian, when General Slaugh-
ter oapitulRted Ringgold barracks

shoes, at l.. Wolfson's yesterday. They
comprise everything there Is new in

materials. 1t is probably not generally
known that Mr.. Wolfson has II standing
contract with these manufactures at
Boston, New York and Philadelphia,
where any style desired is made eX-
pressly TO his order for this trade. The
goods so fur unpacked are all of fine,
light material and are intended for sum
mer wear while the large assortment of
slippers in many fine patterns of work

The Stock Yards.

The business in the stock yards is
supply is not large in the yards, the de-
mand is still less. and sometimes very
fair saddle pony can be picked up at $40,
but usually he will bring from Sl5 to $50.
Considerable horse stock for shipment is
being held in pastures tributary to this
market, and sales are slow, it being diff
cult for buyers and sellers TO come to-
gether. Horse shippers will not pay
fancy prices. Well-broken and good
sized work horses and mules are always
in demand at fair prices. This is the
largest shipping point for horses in
Texas, and many herds from Zacatecas
and other central Mexican States are
driven to this market and shipped from
here to the Northern markets.
