They Are EndeaVodng 10 Drive Australian
Beef From English Market.
ARE NOW MAKING HEAVY SHIPMENTS

During the last few days there has
keepers and heads OF families over the
sharp advance made in the price Of
meats and there has been a great deal
of speculation as 10 the cause of the In
crease. Just how the advance was
brought was explained to-day by man
nected with the local branch OF one
of the big packing houses. He said:
THE advance here is caused by the
efforts of American packers TO drive
Australian beef from the English mar
kets an establish American been in
stead. We want that business. and in
order TO secure IL we are shipping i'm
mense quantities of beef TO England.
Just now this business abroad Is being
carried on at a heavy loss, because we
are cutting prices to kill competition.
THE consequence is that the export
OF American beef Is very much heavier
than ever before. Naturally under
these conditions there is less for the
home trade, although there are as
many cattle for the market as ever.
There is no real shortage in market
able cattle, all reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The receipts at tns
yards in Kansas City, Omaha and chi
cago Yesterday were large. The FOR
