beef animals las been subject in re
cent years.
Abnormal Beef supplies-There
has teen a breaking up of range
herds consequent upon the enforce
nent OF the "~no-fence" law by the
croachments of settlers upon tbs
ranges, made possible by the practice
of dry farming. Not all of the cat
tie have gone directly from the rang
es TO tie slaughterhouses; a great
portion of them has gone to farms
for maturing and finishing, largely
upon corn. This extra. demand on the
corn crop is reflected in corn prices
which are now higher than they have
been since h records of the Depart
ment of Agriculture began, in 1866
except for 1881.
Half a dozen years of this abnor
NAL movement of beef cattle from
ranges to the great markets began &c
tell upon the supply in 1908, when
the deliveries fell off in a marked de
gree, and the decrease continued in
1909.
Hog Situation More Fair to Farm
ers.-The farmers situation with re
| gard to hogs is more fair to the far
mer than the cattle situation is, but
still 4 is apparent that during the
last three years the price of corn has
been toe aiga for the price of hogs
The relative price of hogs on the
farm January /, 1909. was 147.3 as
compared with 100 for the mean price
of 1S96-1900, and the average cost al
all hogs slaughtered at principal mar
kets in the year before was 1881, OF
about the same as the farm price
The price of dressed hogs of 160
pounds in New York in 1908 stands
~ a. : nnI fhA an.anErAc Of marie
pigs a. Chicago at 1854, which is ap
p~roxinately the number representing
the relative retail price of fresh pork
In the case of hogs, therefore, the
farmer has fully participated in the
rising prices. whereas in the case OF
the farmers cattle The unfed ami
mails are barely as valuable as they
were 9 to "a ears ago., and lad no
the price of corn ascended to a high
figure. perhaps he would not nav
shared in the higher beef prices.
High Cured Meat Prices not Found
in Cost of Aninals.-The foregoing
conclusions are for fresh meat. The
prices of cured and prepared meat
nave Increased in much greater de
gree than the prices of other meat
have increased, both for beef and
pork. These cured meats include ha
con, picked pork, and lard.
Farmers Share in Increasing Prices
Farm Products Have Increased
los in Price.-There has een a ten
dency of the animals and crops OF
the farm TO increase in value per
unit ar the farm at a faster rate thar
all commodities have increased at
wholesale.
Within the wholesale trade, also,
farm products exceed all other class
rs of commodities in relative increase
of prices since 1896. and food is ex-
ceeded only by farm products and by
lumber and building materials. The
only large exception to the leading
place taken by farm products in rise
of prices is unfed beef cattle, the
farm Price of which has barely begun

 IF DUTIES From Interstate Commerce Commission to Departments .A SEPTEMBER MEETING
For Reorganization of Com mission - President, At torney General and Sec retary of Commerce and Labor to Participate.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Direction of the affairs of the administration was tonight left in the hands of two cab inet officers-Secretary of the Treas ury MacVeagh and Postmaster Gen eral HitchcOck--and by Monday night the distinction probably will be enjoy ed by MT Hitchcock alone. The pres ident is keeping in close touch with Washington by wire from Beverly Mass.
 While no definite time has been fix ed for a conference respecting the presidents plan toe reorganiZe the in- terstate commerce commission, 1t is expected he and some of the members of his cabinet. including Attorney Gen eral Wickersham and Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel will have such a conference early in September.
 The presidents idea is to arrange for a division of the work now done by the interstate commerce commission. His plan provides that investigations into violations of the interstate com merce act from which prosecutions may result, shall be conducted either directly by the department of justice or the bureau of corporations instead of the interstate commerce commis- sion.

Will Be Determined by Supreme Court Judge Mills THE CLOSING ARGUMENTS
On One Point, the Unrelia-
 bility of Evelyn's Testi- mony, Both Sides Agreed Jerome Finds Some
 thing Wrong With Thaws.

White Plains, Aug. Tn a cell at White Plains jail. Harry K. Thaw awaits the decision as to his sanity. The supreme court hearing in the habeas corpus proceeding against the state of New York, ended this after noon when his attorney, Charles Morschauser. summed up his case District Attorney Jerome preceded Mir Morschauser. this morning. Justice Isaac x. Mills said he would try to hand down a decision on Thursday next
 The prisoners mother with her daughter. Alice. formerly Countess of Yarmouth. and her son and daughter in-law. Mir. and Mrs. Josiah Thaw. will remain here until Harry's fate is set tied Mrs Thaw's statements show that if this case goes against her son she will lose no time in trying to free him by other means.
 The addresses of District Attorney Jerome and MT. Morschauser today were alike free from outbursts of ora tory that characterized the two hom- icide trials. The district attorne- was particularly temperate and of Thaw. Jerome spoke pityingly, as that poor boy"
 only two witnesses among several hundred testified for Thaw at his trial and hearings. were picked out by Je- rome for rebuke. These were Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and pr. Britton D. Evans
 Closing his arguments Jerome said he believed that all the witnesses did their best to tell the truth except Evelyn T do think" declared he, this girl is guilty of deliberate falsi- flying. That she told her husband of injury at the hands of White, have no doubt" He declared that heredi- ty must be considered in the question of Thaws sanity. Said he: ''The whole Thaw family has developed what might be called a peculiarity. From such stock the average man is sane but you get a pretty rickety sort of child from that family
 Jerome said that Susie Merrills tes- timony of Thaw's escapades with va rious women at her house was unre- futed He said Thaw's attempts to commit suicide in Paris was dramatic and strongly characteristic of his all legged mania, of which the shooting of White was the eliminating illusion.
 Evelyn Thaw came in for condem- nation from both attorneys. Morse hauser said that the reluctance she ex- pressed to testify of Thaw's alleged threat to shoot her was assumed. He said that on on the night before she testified she had consulted with Dr Austin Flint in Jeromes office and had formed a combination with the alienist against her husband Morse hauser concluded with a denunciation of Stanford White and an appeal for Thaw's mother that left tears on his own cheeks

 "The Pasadena Gardeners assOcia- ton strongly condemns the nature faking methods and the exploitation of alleged new and false creations by Luther Burbank. It deplores the fact that a false impression has been giv- en by the publicity concerning plant breeding by Burbank. It is the sense of this association that this impress sion should be corrected"
