without precedent said M M. Schultz
in discussing the provision OUTLOOK.
"rrhere will be a good crop OF hogs IN
Iowa, Nebraska Kansas and Missouri,
but In every other hog raising section
of the world there Is an unparalleled
shortage. Not only Is There an inn
mense shortage i'm European countries,
but other parts of the United States
outside of the corn belt, Canada, ana
Mexico will have to be supplied from
the four states named. 1t is a remalk
able coincidence that the shortage
should be so acute and world wide IN us
scope. In Austria Hungary, which oc-
cupies the same position in Europe as
our corn belt does to this country,
i'm portations are necessary TO supply
the domestic demand, whereas In for
mer years Austria Hungary has ex-
ported hog products to all other
European countries The same con-
diticns. which practically amount to
hog famine, exist turnout Europe. Ire
land has no eXportable surplus this
year. while normally it is a large ex-
porter of fancy bacon and hams to
England. Canada, has decreased it's
killing so per cent from the average
this year. and hogs are now selling
here on q basis of siXty-cent corn.
Mexico is also buying our hogs In
quantities for the first time in years.
Ar idea of the shortage in the states
east of Chicago may be obtained from
the fact thai 25 per cent Of the re-
ceipts of hogs at this place are being
bought by eastern dealers for their do

Chicago stockyard Notes.

w. M. Logan, of Benton county, Ia.
was here with car of steers, which
sold at s4.35, they averaged 1925 lbs.
F.. C. Grawhurst of Benton county
Ia, was on Thursdays market with a
load of steers and heifers that sold at
$4.70
Otto Wandschneider, Of Benton

car Of mixed steers and heifers that
sold at the satisfactory price of $4.40.
A. l.. Ames, Buckingham. Ia. had
three loads of short fed cattle on We'd
nesday's market and sold the bulk Of
them at $40.
George NJ. Nicoll said: while there
is no doubt of big supplies of hogs in
the country. conditions do not warrant
the belief in very low price range.
There is a big demand from foreign
sources for hog products. and the fresh
meat demand is exceptionally strong
and broad, and the only thing l see that
will curtail the above outlets will be
too high prices"
Advices from New York say H. K.
Bloodgood of that city. who received
200 western steers from Chicago last
summer and placed them on his large
estate at New Marlboro, Conn.,, to ex-
pertinent in beef raising. is having
great difficulty to get enough fodder
for the animals. When winter set in
it was found that the whole town could
not supply fodder enough to winter
the stock satisfactorily and shipments
of turnips and other vegetables suit
able for fodder were made by the car
load from White Plains, N. Y. Several
carloads of cornstalks We're received
there last week and are being hauled
to New Marlboro, distance of about
fourteen miles.

gers Trade With Germany
AR e
MILLIONS
INVOLVED
Large Number Of Orders Unable to
be Filled on Account Of Lack of In
spection Facilities = Secretary of
Agriculture Describes Serious Sit
uation.

Washington, Jan. 12.-"Unless con-
gress speedily grants the emergency
appropriation of $135,000 requested by
me for additional inspectors and mic
roscopistS it Is probable that over $50,
100000 worth of orders for American
pork and beef products placed by Ger
man dealers will go untitled
This statement was made by Secre
tary Wilson yesterday. Anticipating
the high rates of duty on products en-
anating from the United States i'm
posed by the new German tariff, which
becomes effective March l., next and
Germany at the present time being in
urgent need Of meat supplies, Secretary
Wilson said that German dealers have
flooded the packing houses of this
country with orders.
In speaking of this condition of af-
fairs, he referred to recent structures
upon his action in creating what was
stated to be deficiency of $4,000,
the amount asked by him, in alleged
violation of the statute on this SUBJ
ject. enacted during the last congress.
These statements" he said, do me a
grave injustice and do not credit me
with trying to relieve our packers from
the desperation in which they have
been placed by reason Of the lack of a
proper inspecting force" He declared
that he had created no deficiency, but
that on the contrary he was asking
only for an emergency appropriation to
meet the conditions which an enor-
mously increased business of the last
few months with no increase in the
inspection force. had created. He had.
he said, gone to the limit Of his power
to grant the relief sought by asking
for the $135.000 appropriation. which,
he added, would not leave a deficiency
for his department should 1t be grant,
ed, although the allegation had been
made that the deficiency actually had
been created.
Il am strongly in favor Of having the
packers pay all the expenses Of In
spections," continued the secretary,
such inspections to be urber govern
mental supervision, of course. In fact,
they voluntarily have expressed a will
ingness to do this and in the present
instance have offered to do it, but
there is no law by which such an ar
rangement can be made. Such pro-
cedure would not only save the gov
eminent a vast sum Of money, but
would prevent just such state of af-
fairs as exists today" He added that
he was daily being besieged with tele-
grams and letters requesting him to
do something In the way Of assisting In
the expectation to Germany of beef and
pork which had been ordered, the sit
uation being explained to him as de-
plorable and desperate, but that with
out the money he has requested he Is
powerless to remedy it.

CATTLE PRICES Same
Demand Was Good Today, AS
Has Been the Case All
This Week
TEADY PRICES STILL PREVAIL
More Animation Has Been Shown In
the Market For Cows, Heifers, Stock
ers and Feeders-Hog Prices Strong
and Advancing Today-Eastern Buy
ers Have Prevented Sharp Decline.

Chicago Jan. 12.--Cattle-There was
a good demand and prices were UNI
changed. Cattle have been in greatly
improved demand this week, after last
prices have been seen. Cows, heifers,
stockers and feeders have been more
animated.
Outlet for beef has broadened very
materially in the past ten days both in
local and eastern quarters, while con-
tipued liberal buying by exporters has
taken care of the surplus stocks of
good fat beeves. The trade this week
has In some respects been quite sur
prise to the talent Of the yards. Many
mad looked for a sharp reaction in
prices consequent to the larger supplies
but it is evident that beef demand mas
about kept pace with the increased
marketing and most traders view the
outlook for next week less dubiously
than they did a week ago as respecting
probable conditions this week.
Moderate marketing is the hope OF
the trade, and while values this week
have held we'll there is nothing very
encouraging to an upward trend next
week and neither are there signs point
ing to a materially broader demand.
so that much increased receipts can
only have the effect of wrecking the
present price range badly.
Hogs.
This has been a great week for large
supplies of hogs. The demand has
been remarkably good, however, and
largely increased buying by eastern
shippers prevented a sharp decline in
prices. Today there was the usual live
ly shipping and local demand, and
prices were strong and advancing.
Sheep.
No nominal change was noted in the
trade today, prices being similar to
those which the buyers were able to
obtain toward the close of last week.
There was no life to the trade, but Of
ferings were eventually cleaned up.
Big supplies have brought about
draggy and unsatisfactory condition of
trade and sharply lower price range.
The market is in bad shape at this
time, and conditions warrant smaller
supplies in the next several days.
There is nothing alarming in the sit
uation, say well-informed traders here.
and with let-up in the big receipts
and a more equitable distribution of
offerings there is hope of mending the
for the good fat offerings. The
medium and fairly good classes have
been selling to close to the more de-
sirable stock, and it will take very
supplies to bring about bet

Suckers and Feeders.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-Country buyers
are showing up in fairly liberal num-
bers and dealers moderate offerings
are not above the demands of OUT
siders Good weight kinds have first
call. and more well-br classes would
have found sale, country inquiry for
good steers showing marked improve
ment over last week. The general
range of prices is little different from
a week ago, although good steers are
higher. competition from packers
forcing country buyers to pay better
prices for these grades.
The eastern demand is fairly broad
now and Illinois and other nearby
feeders are also sending in liberal or
ders for good steers, high prices for
beef steers having stimulated am ac-
tive desire among country buyers to
feed well-bred cattle for the late spring
ard early summer markets. Very few
desirable good weight steers could be
had below s3.75 yesterday and only the
poor kinds sold down to $500, while
