try Still Disappointing.

~ since the election results appeared
to hold out guarantee for four
years to come that Industrial inter
ests are not to be disturbed by hos
tile legislation.
But the trade movement since De-
cember l has not lived up to the more
optimistic expectations. For most cor
porations earnings are on the mend,
but 1t has to be remembered that
great deal must be made up to over
come the losses Of 1924. 1t is ques-
ton whether steel production has not
passed its top, and whether the higher
prices which are to be attempted for
the second quarter will be successful.
Copper Trade Disappointing.
The copper developments are GER
tainly disappointing with the drop in
the metal from 15 to 141a cents. where
as six months ago much was being
made of the prospective European set
Element and what this would mean in
the way of increased demand and high
er points.
The cotton trade, after long period
of stagnation, is still banking more
upon falling off in next seasons pro-
duction than it is upon the sounder
ground of larger world consumption.
The wooden industry has failed to
realize hopes sometimes expressed of
betterment.
81 Wheat Dream Over.
Then has come the big break in
the wheat market which has affected
severely other grains. 1t is too early
to estimate what this signifies for
the agricultural outlook of 1928.
There was a huge overspeculation in
the latter weeks of 1924, which meant
little for the American farmer, be-
cause he had sold nearly all of what
he had to SELL The dream of two
dollar wheat" is over. There was
some reason why. working upon an
unusual shortage, spectators should
have rushed the price of the May op-
ton to $2.05 a bushel. But there was
no reason why the options represent
ing the new harvest season should
have been drawn along the way they
were.
Farmers, Situation In Doubt.
Is the fortunate situation in which
the American farmer round himself
last year because the Canadian crop
was almost cut in two likely to be
repeated in the coming season? Are
the agriculturists of this country
likely to obtain any such prices as
they did in 1924? These are questions
which directly affect, not only the
grain markets. not only the stock
market, but the entire business po-
sition in which the element of buying
power in the agricultural States plays
such a part.
Wall Street has shown its misgiv-
ings upon these subjects during the
last few days. 1t is interesting to
note that prices on the Stock Ex-
change have gone down, despite the
falling off in money rates. This has
demonstrated that the money market
is not the factor which II has been
credited with being in the movement
of stocks.

$4,000 DAIRY
HERD TESTS
IN bEXAR
Federal, State and City
Funds Are Used in
Safety Program.

Approximately $4,000 has been
spent by the federal and state gov
ernments in making tuberculin tests
for dairy cattle that serve San An
tonic. Dr.-W. J. Darby of Dallas, rep
resenting the federal government, de-
clared in an address to joint meet
ing of the board of health and veter-
inarians, Thursday evening.
The federal, state and city govern
ments started the tuberculin tests here
two years ago, and paid the costs Oh
the initial tests. The dairymen agreed
to nav for subsequent tests.
Due to the drouth of the past sum
mer, some of the dairymen pleaded IL.
nancial depletion, and refused to test
their herds. They appealed to Mayor
Tobin and he lifted the requirements
until conditions became better.
DIR. N. E. Williams of Houston
representing the state, spoke OF the
cooperative work that is being done
by the federal and state departments
Unless the city has the tests contin-
ued. the veterinarians OF the stare
would be withdrawn from this district
January 1, DIR. Williams said.
A committee made up of DIR. Darby
DR.. Rhea, DIR. Thomas Dorbrandt'
Captain Whitney and DR.. w. A. King
was appointed to call upon Mayor
Tobin and secure his promise that the
city would continue the tests.

Bexar deputy sheriffs declined to

night and thereby brought down the
indignation of Lee Hall Street resi-

The complainant said that the horse
was stamping in its stall and keeping
everyone in the neighborhood awake.
When the deputies informed him
that shooting horses wasn't among
their duties, the sleepless resident
banged down the receiver.
