AMERICAN BEEF POPULAR.
Its Invasion Abroad Causes Uneas-
mess to English Dealers Who
Fear for Trade.

The increasing influence of the
large American meat firms in Eng
land is causing unrest among the
statesmen.
Formerly cattle, live or chilled,
were sent over to be dealt with by
Deptford and Smithfeld statesmen,
but now a few of the most impor-
tant American irms-One of which
controls as many as 600 business
es in England-have initiated the
policy of cutting up and selling
their own cattle in this country.
The superintendent at Smith.
field reported that the policy ofen-
tire control now adopted by the
big American firms was causing
trOublous times for some of the
statesmen.
"The American beef sent to Eng.
land is all surplus produce" he
said, "and it is exported to keep
prices up in the states. The firms
which send it do not seem to care
much what price it commands, so
long as it pays them for sending"
