SCARCITY OF FEEDERS.


prominent San Antonio stockman. speak.
ing of feeders Yesterday. said: zone reason
why 1t is SO dull and that there is but little
trading going on at present is the scarcity
OF feeders. The probability is that a con-
siderable number OF them will be purchased
In the Indian Territory and brought back
to Texas to be put on feed One Of the rail-
ways has offered $40 carload rate from
Indian Territory points to Texas points. and
with this rate buyers of feeders can afford
TO purchase them in the Territory and bring
them back to Texas. feed them and ship them
out and make money on them. There are
no oil mills or feeding pens of any conse-
ouence In the parts of the Territory where
the cattle districts OF that country are To-
Gated and the cattle there are almost ex-
clusivelv grass fed and so shipped to the
market from the Territory without being
topped off on other feed. 1t will be prob
able therefore that n number of cattle that
have found their way IN to the Indian Ter
ritory may come back here to get their feed
ing and be fattened before going to the final
slaughter market"
