Great Britain Has Been Taking the

SKELETON OF A MASTODOy FOUND.

sylyanla-A Reduction In the Price
OF Bread Announced In
Cincinnati.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l.-Secretary OF
Agriculture Morton furnished yesterday
the number Of cattle exported to the
United Kingdom Of Great Britain dur
ing each year since 1874, together with
the value of the cattle in dollars, each.
The statement shows that the United
States sent into the United Kingdom
Of Great Britain only ls3 head Of cattle
in 1874; while up to the present date in
1891, the United States has already
furnished Great Britain 3i5,734 head.
The United States sent no fresh beef
into England until ls77,when 49,2l0, 900
pounds were sent and returned to the
farmers of this country 81, 552, ,523. This
year we have already shipped into the
United Kingdom 1913, 35l, %. pounds of
fresh beef, which brought Sl6,659, sl4
Germany took no live cattle from the
United States until 1878, when thatem
pire received !, Ill head from the United
States, valued at Ss7,64s. During the
year 1901 Germany received from the
United States its largest number Of
cattle, 1929 head, valued at Sis7,565
In 1893, Germany received only 4l9
head, valued at $il, 500. Thus far in
1894 she has received 1900 head, valued
at S!s5,79!. Germany took no fresh
beef from the United States until 1887,
when it took o,39s pounds, and in 1894
all Germany took of fresh beef from
the United States was only 1,066 pounds,
valued at $50.
In view of the above facts, Secretary
Morton said he does not think it worth
while to exploit or magnify as matter
of any Importance the loss Of the Ger
man market to American cattle and
meat producers.

and September last
Under the grain inspection law, en-
acted by the last Kansas legislature,

spected. There are six boards of trade
in the state, but the Kansas City, Kan,
board Of trade opposed this law and
has refused to pay the stipend.
Hence the suit filed yesterday, under
which Inspector Jones attached and
garnisheed a number OF grain mer-
chants in this city who owe member
ship dues and inspection fees to the
Kansas City, Kan, board of trade.
The suit is likely to get into upper
