to the income tax returns. or to an

It is learned the reason OF this retl-

We're made by collectors In their tele-
graphic reports yesterday. Who is
blameable for this state OF things is
not STATED, butt the result is that from
what has been received no intelligent
statement can be given Of the number
or amount OF returns filed with the col-
iectors. 1t is undoubtedly true, THAT
large number OF persons subject to
law have made no returns at all, and
in consequence The ofiiclals see ahead

action of the department in raising the
embargo on Mexican cattle is expected
20 have THE effect of keeping the price
OF beef from going UP higher even
IL 1t does not cause a decline, DR.
Salmon, chief of THE bureau of animal

doubtedly a scarcity of cattle in the
West, sufficient to account jn mart for

The only question:" said he, sis
whsuher this scarcity Is sufficient to
account for it altogether or whether
a few big men who control the beef
market have not to a certain EXTENT
at least anticipated the effect of this
scarcity; in other words, whether the
erect has not come before the cause.
What we are anxious to know is
Whether the price of cattle has gone up
IN proportion to the price Of beef.
For some TINA past cattle have
been getting scarcer and scarcer, IN the
