SAYS THERE is NO TRUST
Mulhali Attributes Scarcity of
Prices to Scarcity of Stock.

Zach Mulhall. livestock agent for the
Frisco system. says the agita ton for Gov.
ernment prosecution of the beef men is no,
founded on a knowledge of the conditions
that are prevalent now. He says there IS
no meat trust. and that the competition Is
responsible for the high prices. this compe.
tition growing out Of the scarcity of stock.
There is no such thing as Beef Trust
any more than there is trust in air" said
Colonel Mulhall. The farmers and stock
men are the trust. II any one is. The fact
is that the cattle market is 10000 head
short since the first Of the year. The Fris-
co system is now carrying 80 cars of cattle
daily from Texas into the Indian Territory
TO fatten upon grass. The recent rains
have been a good thing but, then, grass
cattle will not cut much figure. because
there are not enough of them. The cattle
fed on cotton-seed meal and hulls is what
the slaughter-houses are getting And none
of them are getting too many of them
Stock is mighty scarce.
The big packers are paying 6 to cents
for cattle now. and if there was a trust
they would be paying less. 1 assure you

said, is too high to feed. A feeder could
not go into a place and get the corn at
IS cents now. The farmers would rim the
price up to 81 on him unless he got con-
tracts in advance.
The packing-houEes here which use to

rooms, have no reserve stock. They are all
