| OTTAWA. Can, Oct. There are
persistent rumors that the Canadian
live stock trade is in danger of falling
into the hands of American operators
1t is said that the trust. which is now
forming to control the American meat
trade, is likewise reaching out to alb
sorb the Canadian business. II is
learned that agents of the proposed
trust have recently been looking over
the meat situation in Canada, for this
purpose. Colonel Skinner of Chicago
is given as authority for the state
ment, but as yet nothing definite is
known as to the results of the inves-
tigation.
From n Canadian point of view, it
is said that there is an interesting m }.
tive involved in the consummation of
the new beef combine. which has
much to do with its consummation
Some years ago. when the foot and
mouth disease broke out in South
America. the British authorities for
bade the landing in England of live
cattle from Argentina This embargo
is now to be removed. The announce
ment of its removal is expected to
be made soon. and then the millions
of cattle in Argentina will have free
access to British markets This in.
fiux of South American beef, it is
claimed. will kill the United States
meat export trade. and this is said
to be one important factor in the new
consolidation.
| Andrew Webb. an extensive En-
slish cattle dealer. who is in this
country investigating the system OF
utilizing the offal from cattle slangh-
tered in Canada. corroborates this
view. He says that at the present
moment the eye of every farmer. of
every person connected with the cat
tie and live stock trade in England is
turned towards Argentina. Canadian
cattle dealers, Mr.. Webb asserts, do
not seem alive to the situation. but
the great American packers are, and
( that is why they are combining. In
South America, he says there are
25 900 900 head of cattle and S0,000.-
600 sheep, ready to be shipped. as fast
as possible, to every part of the EN-
pire.
