T. w. Tomlinson, secretary of the Amer
lean National Live Stock association, ad-
dressed the stockmen. He referred to the
high cost of living. and stated that there
was tendency to make the high prices
of cattle favorite target of attack. He
did not believe THIS to be the cause. Their
was a shortage in certain classes of stock,
but that there was no cause for alarm az
long as we can export the enormous num-
Der OF cattle which we do at present. He
predicted that as soon as the west was
the aggregate, raise more stock than at
present the large breeders do. As result
of the removal of the duty on hides, the
price Is now cents less. which averages
about $3.50 per head. He ascribes this d.
