TO BUY TEXAS SEED ONLY.
Cotton Oil Men of That State Not to
Use Outside Product.

NEW ORLEANS, June 5.-The cotton
seed oil men of Texas, in session at Gal
weston, have decided that in the future
they viii limit the seed they bug to
Texas, and will not invade Mississippi
and Alabama, as they did last year,
which was the cause of the great I'M
settlement in the cOttonseed world
The cattlemen who recently complain
ed that they had been badly treated
by the cottonseed crushers. in that the
crushers had advanced the price Of cot
tonseed meal on them, and they de-
ncunced them when they corresponding
ly advanced the price of cattle did not
appear before the Galveston convention
The crushers do not seem concerned
over the threat Of some OF the cattle
RseB-to operate their own mills.
The fact that the Swift Company has
recently purchased half a dozen mills
a;.sf Ierent points was rot commented
on by any Of the crGshers TO whom ii
was mentioned. save to the effect that
Swift would probably be able to use
more feed than those mills would pro
vide.
a resolution was adopted deprecating
any act of Congress that may tend to
reduce the price Of cattle and hogs"
and alleging that the present high price
of meats is due ito a shortage" in seed
products.
This is the resolution the beef men
wished them to adopt.
