STOCK NOTES.

Town at Present.
The stock trade in and around San
Antonio is increasing but has been
very quiet during the past few
months, owing to the scarcity of stock
which has been in demand. Many
large stock dealers are daily visiting
the city and it is thought by the local
dealers that San Antonio will be one
of the principal stock markets In the
state, there already being many ship.
ments made from this point,
A reporter visited several stock
yards and stock agents offices today
and gathered several items regarding
the present condition of affairs which
may be of interest to our readers.
There are now five stock yards in the
city, including the union yards, at
which places the transferring of stock
takes place Many camp yards are
also scattered over the city and for

kept there. The trade at the camp
yards has not been very large in for
mer years but it is rapidly increasing
and eventually they will be equal to
small stock yards.
The old Mexican stock yards made
of transaetiDg business is entirely
done away with in this part of the
country and all deals are made in q
business-like manner, all sellers

action and all purchasers being, as q
rule, honest and upright.

Clark, that he is for personal freedom

numerous appoin tments by Clark for
