Also Believed that the Packers viii Quit

Fort Worth, Texas, May AN effort is
being made to choke on the shipments Of
cattle from Texas to the markets during
the present agitation concerning the beef
trust j. L. Pennington OF the Santa Fe
road is out In u statement in which he
saws:
~ have received adyices today by wire
from Kansas City and st. Louis asking me
TO notify all cattle shippers that owing to
the investigation now In progress on the
so-called beef trust that the market Is
thoroughly demoralized and that the cat
tlemen should hold their cattle back and
take some action toward offsettlng the
bad effect recently had on the market by
reason OF certain actions The true cause
of the present high price of beef is not
brought about by the action or combina-
ton Of the so-called "Big Six" but by the
natural conditions which for the past year
have existed In the countryside high price
and scarcity OF cattle and the high price
and scarcity OF feed"
The cattlemen OF this section OF the State
are much wrought up over the attack on
the packers because OF the high prices.
SThey believe that If the price of meat to
the consumer is reduced that they will
themselves suffer and point 10 the fact
that there has been material reduction
in the price paid for cattle within the past
week. which amounts to several, dollars
on each animal, They are unwilling to ad
NIT that there are more than enough cat
tie TO take care of the market or that
they are compelled to market their steers
right now. They have conceived the idea
tnat they are getting most Of the benefit
out of the high prices of dressed beef,
though the figures do not show it to be
the case.
There is plenty of meat in the packing
houses Of the country to care FOR the mar.
ket for some weeks to come and 1t is ex
pected here that there will be a further
reduction in the price paid the cattlemeu
and that the packers will quit buying, with
the consequence that the market will be
heavily overstocked for some time to come
even though there be a material reduc
tlon In the shipments.

The following article was reprinted by
the Chicago Tribune and credit given as
special correspondence OF the Commercial
West"
Chicago, April 14.-E. II. Rawsou, vice
president of the Union Trust company OF
this city, has reformed from visit Of
few weeks In Texas. In relation to indus
trial conditions in Texas, MIR. Rawson said
to the Commercial West:
Texas possesses nearly every possible
natural resource, and were 1t not for the
unfortunate laws Of the state, the prosper
ity it could enjoy would be almost illimita-
bic. But the development of the state Is
much retarded by the difficulties of secur-
Ing outside capital; for in a state where
the laws have been drawn up entirely for
the benefit Of the debtor, where no mort
cages can be safely accepted and where
debts can not be collected unless debtors
choose to pay, 1t takes high rates of inter
est to make capital at all inclined to come
in.
The Texas bankers never loan money at
less than per cent; the rates varying from
s to Il per cent The people of Texas could
prohtahly make use of S1O0OOO,OOO more
capital than they have now got, and they
could easily secure this additional amount
were it not for the laws which make It
dangerous for outside capital to come in.
One curious instance came to my notice
cf the way the people of the State con-
stantly suffer from the unfrendlness OF
their laws to capital. A certain brewery IN
San Antonio owns fine piece of property
near that city on which it was erecting a
palatial hotel. But In restraint OF trade 1t
entered into some sort of a harmless agree
ment with another brewery, and so got
fined $4,000 for violating the antitrust law
of the State. This so crippled its finances
that II was unable to complete the hotel
without borrowing money. But it could
borrow no money, for the reason that no
bank would dare take a mortgage its
improved real estate, which might be con-
strued az homestead, aa1 so impossible
ever to forecose on Had property OF equal
character been located in any other State
than Texas 100000 could have been bor-
rowed on it MT once. In consequence OF
Texas laws this brewery has therefore been
practically ruined, and an important devei-
opment has been stopped half way.
"A great deal If Northern blood has in
NHded Texas in late years. and this is ucnd
ing to create 4 better sentiment in regard
to the treatment OF capital. The city Of
Galveston now needs 10 borrow a large
sum Of money in order to build protect
