BEEF VALUES AND PROSPECTS.

The Export Trade and Freight Rates.
Higher Prices in Order. ~
The great advance in beef values
and the likelihood of admission in the
near future of our pork products with.
out restriction by the French and
German government, have drawn
attention to the condition of our meat
trade both at home and abroad. The
United States is the natural source of
supply for the larger part of the pro-
visions consumed annually in western.
Europe. We shipped to England in
1889 lit ,33O,O53 pounds of beef and
to Scotland 19,956,5OO pounds. In
the same year Germany took SCI, 597
pounds of our bacon, France 1892
pounds, England 2SS,679,7s1 pounds,
and Scotland 11,116675 pounds. o.
hams France consumed IA, 145 pounds,
Germany 4O,lo) pounds, England
25,l93,O19 pounds, and Scotland
9,673,7S7 pounds. Our cattle ship
ments form a very important part of
our export trade. England takes
more than three-quarters OF these, fer
out Of total of 205, 1856 in 1889 TO-
03S, valued at $14,371, 1894, are credite d
to that country alone.
The export trade in most of these
products is increasing rapidly, as may
be seen from the following table,
which gives the shipments for the cal
endar years 1890 and 1889:
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-05-14
endar years 1890 and 1889 I:

The advancing freight rates cor cat
te on the Atlantic steamers and the
heavy losses which have occurred in
these shipments through improper
treatment of the cattle have SO le-
duced the profits to shippers that a
change in the method of exporting
our surplus beef will doubtless be
made, whatever action the English
parliament may take to regulate
this trade. Our cattle shipments
last year were almost twice as
large as the year before, being 1894 1886,
as against 2O5,7 for 1889. Secretary
Rusk says in his report: DAT time
when our domestic markets are over
crowded with animals and their prod
ucts, this increase in the export trade
Is very encouraging. The prices re-
allied abroad have, as a rule, been
good, and but for the unjust restric-
tons placed upon both animal and
meat products abroad the increase in
the amount exported would have been
much greater. Experimental ship

THE New York Herald's cable dis
patches state that "the Italie," pub
lished in Rome, says: "The Italian
government is about to address a cir
cular to the European powers, submit
ting the conduct of the United States
government in the New Orleans affair
to their judgment. Italy will thus be
the initiator of an international agree
ment to compel the United States to
find means to guarantee the protection

tionably threat. 1t will not, how

CONCERNING THE ITATA,

The Charleston is a nineteen knot,
the Itata a sixteen knot vessel. The
latter has 400 miles Che start. But
the Itata is short of, coal and will
probably touch at some Central
American port to repenish her
bunkers. Mexico will not allow her
to coal on her territory. It's possible
the Charleston may come up with her,
but it will be a difficult chase. If the
Charleston doesn't overtake the Itata,
there are three other United States
cruisers on the lookout for her be
sides Balmaceaa's war ship Imperiale
which has left Valparaiso to inter
cept the transport, for such she is.
Between them all it looks like the
rebel ship will be scooped, unless she
can run under cover of the guns of her
convoy, the famous Chilian iron clad
Esmeralda, one of the finest, most
modern war ships afloat, and now in
possession of the rebels.
The Esmeralda is fully the equal of
the Charleston, while the Itata her
self carries one or two guns and a crew
OF sixty men. Ifshe is in company with
the Itata when the latter is overtaken
by the Charleston, if she is overtaken,

ments OF cattle to Germany and Bel
ginm were made during TIE year with
favorable results, but excessive duties
ami the quarantine restrictions which
were Immediately imposed at oace de-
stIoyed this trade"
The heavy shipments last year are
doubtless. the cause, to a considerable
extent, of the Vance in values now.
Another reason assigned for the pres
ent advance is that cattlemen have
been forced to sell their stock because
of financial difficulties, and the linn
tied supply now is causing a pressure
to buy The February report of the
department of agriculture contains
the following: "The decline in value
of cattle is the result of short corn
aud other crops, which forced much
stock upon the market, owners pre-
ferring TO sell at prevailing value,
rather than take the 1isk OF winter
ing. In the nature of thingsit must
be temporary and followed by highe
values. hedepletion of herds which
has glutted markets has to some ex-
tent impaired future supply, and
prices will react when this impair
ment becomes more apparent" The
present condition of the market shows
that the foregoing prediction has been
realized.
The cost of grain is said to have in.
creased over 100 per cent. SIEVE Q
winters have also assisted very ma
terially in reducing the supply Of
cattle, The local number of cattle in
the country January l is reported at
36,S75,64S, valued at S544 ,127 SOS
In only five states was the number in
excess OF thst reported at the begin
ming of 1890. in ten il was the same,
while in the remainder it declined
from l to 7 per cent. A Boston news
narer places the decrease at $4,000
head.
AS rule the prices of cattle and
beef are his her in April and May than
in the first three months of the year
Ibis is the time when holders holders
are most reluctant to sell, as cattle
increase rapidly in weight during thu
spring and early summer. AS the
consumption Of fish declines after the
close OF the Lenten season, 80 the de.
mand for beef and pork increases.
A comparison of presen prices, per
100 pounds, with those of the thrse
preceding years, is made in the follow
ing table:

A LIE by iusinuation is worse than
a barefaced falsehood. A recent issue
of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat con-
tanned the following: "Poor old Mis-

treasurer. Arkansas and Texas car
do better than that" Texas never
had any trouble with her treasury ex-
cept when in the faithless hands OF
the Republicans. But Texas is DEM

THAT very erratic publication, the
Globe-Demccrat, calls attention to the
pending diplomatic question, and says
"The people are fortunate in this
emergency in having an administra-
ton which will see that their interests
are abundantly protected under all
circumstances and in every exigency."
The pending negotiations for 1eci-
prooity would have been unnecessary
if a democratic administration had
been enabled to reduce the tariff to
reasonable figures. A democratic
administration would have closed
up the Italian controversy two
weeks ago, and American po,k
would have been admitted without
trouble into France and Germany, but
for the suicidal policy of the late con-
gress which turned its hand against
every land, and meets the back of
every other nations hand in return.
The seal fisheries question with Great
Britain could not have been bungled
much worse if Baby Mckee had man
aged it; and a Democratic administra
ton would have seen that steamer
[tata sunk in San Diego horbor before
it would have allowed itself and its
representatives to be played with like
children. The people are unfortunate
in being in the hands of an admins

there will be fight, with the chances
rather in favor OF the Chilians, that
is if the combat is without the inter
ference of the other United States
cruisers.
Now what right has the United
States to pursue and capture the 1tata
on the high seas? She was suspected
of obtaining ammunition and arms
in POI ts of the United States for the
purpose of overthrowing the govern
ment of Balmaceda with which we are
at peace. The ,Chilian insurgents
have not even been recognized as
beligerents. The Itata has no clear
ance papers, and is practically a pirate
in addition to being at sea in defiance
OF our government, whose prisoner
she was before escaping from San
Diego with a U. S. marshal on board.
The outcome of the chase in the
Pacific will be looked for with profound
interest, and the more especially as
here may be an opportunity for one OF
our new cruisers to try her metal.
