The Sin Antonio correspondent OF the
Live Stock ournai says: From an eY
animation OF the Exp orts OF horss stock
pfSS6iAntonio, one must conclude that
,stod stock is shout "pisyed ont" To
some extent this Is fact. The demaad
for ell kinds of horse stock tor the past
few years has taken at least the surplus
scrubs and all. There sre very few, II
any more herds of Wild horses to
be found in Texas. The
fencing of pastures puts the ranch horses
under much closer control, snd they are
now IS regularly rounded up, branded
sod Gu. out as cattle. Tie great msj 3r

Oh 1lors, etc while Their WAS demand
for them, aud ROW even the native horses
Tor breeding ara Of q much better Class
than formerly, while many have added im-
ported stations. While very few Of the re-
suit Ct these i'm provements are yet on the
market, In 3 couple Of yssrs the character
of the nssive Texas horees for sale hsre
will be OF a very different character to
what they are now generally known. Tie
day OF $40 and Sl5 Texas ponies is
about passed, and even from Mex CO that
class will soop become scsrce. Then the
shipments will probably become some
what lighter from here, bui there will be

These are few OF the many questions

Colonel Robert Burkhsrdt, who re-
TUNED from hunting trip yesterday, re-
p5fts that last Ffiday'5 storm proved
Quite disastrous to an Idaho drover w2o

Mustarg ponies are running wild on
the plains in large herds, and they are .
