ENGLAND FEEDS AMERICA
WITH HER OWN MEAT.
Timed Goods Reshlpped 70 New
York From London as Result Of
Scarcity Of Meat In America.

Chicago.-A special from London
says: Two million pounds Of timed
meat. valued at 100000. have been
reshlppod to New York from London
during the last few weeks as a result
OF the scarcity OF meat In America
As a consequence OF the recent fnan-
cial crisis. American farmers who
were unable to effect loans placed
their cattle on the markets Instead
OF feeding them. with the result that
price OF meat fen while It's conBuup'
ton increased.
From this fact has resulted the
unusual spectacle Of England feeding
America with It's own meat. even
with the freight to pay twice across
the Atlantic"
A representative Of a Chicago firm
here says: We have been able to
sell the rcshlppod goods In America
at prices per cent higher than we
could Obtain here. London today ls
the cheapest meat market In the
world
