Concerning the inquiry, Secretary
Morton said to a reporter of the Asso-
ciated Press
The increase of <he price of cattle
has been quite remarkable and certain
fluctuations seemed unaccountable. It
would appear that the primary cause
of the increased price is that the sup
ply is decreasing while the demand IS
constant or increasing, and the four
points, so-called--Chic2 SO, Kansas
City. St. Louis and Omaha-where cat
tie are slaughtered, are falling off in
their supply to the market. The re-
duction last year was 142.347 head of
cattle as compared with the year be-
fore. This reduction naturally would
bring an increase of price to the con-
sumer. Then, TOO, corn-fed cattle are
preferred, and our supply of corn-fed
fell off enormously last year. This in
part explains the falling off in produc-
marked feature of the American con-
sumner that he wants the very best
grade of cattle, and the choicest parts,
sirloin and porterhouse, rather than
the more nutritive round or neck"
Mr. Morton's inquiries assto the in
fiuence of the alleged trust are in part
directed by current statements as to
the influence which the Big Four have
in depressing the price OF live cattle.
He says that if there was demand
for the live cattle the price would go
up regardless of the combine His in
quiry. he adds, is designed to, bring
out just what influence the Big Four
have on prices.
