into the American markets with their teef, a special report was re- cieved this week from Consul Fred eric w. Goding at Montevldeo, Uruguay, in which he says that Americans have been collecting data there relative to the shipment of beef and mutton to New York.
 "The time may be rapidly ap- proaching," says the consul, when the meat consumed by the people living along the Atlantic coast ol the United States must be supplied from the River Plata countries"
 Consul Goding expresses the be, lief that Uruguay beef may be lad down in New York for from 53 to b cents per pound. The government of Uruguay has recently passed an act that relieves the shippers ol frozen meat from the payment oi the export duty for period of ten years, provided the meat IS pre- pared in that country.
 s. H. Cowan, attorney for the Ma tional Stock Growers, who IS IT Washington, says the price of bee i. probably going higher; that th' stock raisers simply have not th' supply of cattle they malntalne'
 fromerly. Mir. Cowan asserts ther is a shortage of 100000 head a

 pared with the shipments of yea , ago.

q Shortage in Cattle.

 sharply directed to the enuonot I the public in the forthcoming re. hort of James Wilson, secretary of agriculture.
 The fact that there has been a decrease of 2, ,1S7 ,000 in the number of cattle in this country in the last two years and that the exports of cattle have dropped off nearly l0O,- 900 in the last eight or nine months, is giving the department or agriculture a great deal ot concern The price of beef has gone steadily higher in the United States, while it appears to have remained at fairly reasonable standing abroad Last year for the first time Tn hls- tory, the shipments of South Amer, ican beef into England exceeded the shipments from America.
 Although the secretary of agrlcul- ture will probably make no refer ence to the rumors that persons ln- te1ested in cattle raising in Uru- guay and Argentina are preparing to invade the American market with frozen beef he undoubtedly has been apprised of them, ana may have some views to express concerning such trade innovation later. For the present it can be said the department of agriculture is cognizant of the state ot affairs existing on the cattle ranges ot thls country, and proposes at least to open up the subject for discussion before beef prices climb quite out of sight.
 The decline in beef exports, the bureau of animal industry says, + due to economic conditions at home coupled with the increased supplle in the English markets and iron other sources, chiefly Argentina The fundamental cause, It thought. is the shortage in our owl supply of beef cattle, with the re sulting high prices of beef In hom markets.
 Restrictions on the range an high prices in the feeding district are assigned as the chief causes the big cattle shortage. The ire public range is now very limlte affair, owing to the extent of u forest reservations and the grazlr regulations imposed by their mal agement. Pay for winter ran! feeding is expensive, and ;n Il feeding grounds of the middle we the stock raiser is now payingtro 56 to 82 cents for corn which t' years ago cost him from 39 to
 cents. The consequence has be Encouragement to the cattle ral' if the figures in this connection to be believed.
 Tn 1907 the estimated number cattle in the United States was 556OOO. In 1908 this figure dr' ned to 5O,O7300O, and Januar of this year it had gone to 49'3' GOO.
