PACKERS PROFITS HIDDEN
Government Finds Reason for
Rise in Price of Meats.

Chicago. Jan. 15.-EXplanation of the rise
in the price OF fresh meat following the
period of financial depression in 1907 was
given in the trial OF the ten Chicago pack
ers to-day.
BY the books OF Morris G. co. and the
testimony of Harry a. T.mmins, its chief ac-
Countant. Il was shown by the government
that the practice of credting the beef ac-
count with the value of the hides. amount
ing TO about 6 so an animal, was discon-
tinued between November, 1907, and April.
1909.
The result, the government declares, was
TO increase the test cost OF beef and make
il possible for the packers to raise the
price Of fresh meat without showing cXces-
sive profits.
The government expects TO show that
1905 was the most profitable year in the his
tory Of the fresh meat business UP 20 that
time.
Although the average volume Of business
continued. the same allowances made for
hides ceased. as Is shown from the follow
ing entries read from Morris e. Co books
