CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-J. ogden Armour
said today the whole tendency in the
prices OF stockyard products was to-
ward a lower schedule. He also said
the descent would be gradual. and
warned the public from too hastily ac-
cepting the belief that a drop from the
highest to the lowest prices was due.
The packers prices TO the retailers
are based entirely one what we have TO
pay for the live animals, said Armour.
Generally speaking. prices are lower,
and believe they are working toward
a still lower level. The present situa-
Tion is the result OF the enormous corn
crop and Of previous high prices, that
stimulated everybody TO raise livestock.
The public is getting the benefit Of
political conditions, and should get fur
vher benefit as the increased supply Of
livestock reaches the market.
THE recent high price of meats and
packing house products can not be at
tribUted IN any way TO the packers nor
ros any combination of persons or firms
engaged in the packing house industry.
It has been due to conditions that de-
VelopeC from a scarcity and a high price
for corn, which is the basis Of the sup
ply Of livestock
Conditions in livestock raising are
bigger than any packer or set of pack
ers. Tie packers welcome lower prices.
Our prices are based on what we have
70 pay for livestock. and the sooner the
people and the world Al large realize
that the better ii viii be for every
