COMING OF FIRST DIRECT AnGEN-
TINE pECE,

CFrom the Christian Science Monitor)
Widespread interest is manifested in
and widespread importance is attoched to
the expected arrival at the port of New
York late this week If the first direct
consignment Of beef from the Argentine
Republic Argentine beef has been com
lng in for some time past. In weekly
shipments via England Of from 300 to 800
quarters. This meat has crossed the At
'antc twice before reaching the Ameri-
can market, and. Notwithstanding the
extra freight charge thus occasioncd. and
the tariff charge now levied Of l l-2 cents
a pound, 1t has sold readily a trife under
the prevailing price for the native prod
uct. So that there is really nothing eX-
detrimental in the present shipment, the
importers having felt their way very care
fully.
I Tho CONSIGNMENT now nearing these
shores is from Buenos Aires direct and
consists Cf 1000 quarters. The thought il
entertained Of placing 1t in cold storage
under bond until the Underwood tariff
bill shall have become law If this is
done, the consumer may be given the
benefit of the saving However, in no cir
cumstances is the Argentine beef likely
to be sold for less than a cent or
cent and half a pound under the native
beef of the same quality.
There is no doubt on this question of
quality. 1t is pretty generally Forgotten
now, but wher Texas beef was first put
upon the northern and eastern markets
great objection was raised against II on
the ground of coarseness and toughness
Argentine meat IS alfalfa fed. 1t is claim
ID to be equal in every respect TO the
! American product, but this is a point
that remains to be settled. 4 largo dele
cation OF New York butchers is to in
spect the meat upon its arrival. The opin-
ion expressed by one Of these is worth
quoting. Speaking of the claim that the
Argentine cannot be distinguished from
the American beef. he said. I've never
handled any Argentine beef. and of
course. l don't know whether they are
telling the truth or not. but 1t won't
take long to And out as soon as l put
my eye on it. Personally. l think alfalfa
fed beef may do for restaurants, but I'm
sure that the man who knows a good
steak Will not prefer 1t to American
beef"

prices But from the beginning, If the
meat shall be found acceptable, the ship
ments should exert a good moral in

benefits accruing should be the stimula-
ton of native cattle raising, the steady
ing of prices and the Inauguration Of a
system of exchange with the Argentine
Republic that will make for the extern
sion of American commerce. in that direc-
ton. From present appearances. there is
no reason why Argentina's entrance into
this market should not be welcomed. If
her meat is found to be suitable there
are many things which the United States
can send her in return. Trade has a

HIS "SNIID OATS"

He isn't young ana he isn't gay,
His face is long and his foreock is grey;
Good old boy" very likely you'd say
Yet he's sowing his wild oats
Well Is he known in these city streets;
You can count on the program he daily
repeats
Time and place where he drinks and eats
ION the hour of noon he dotesD
But wherever he goes, the proof is seen
OF his lavish ways-it Is traced in green,
The very pavement stones between,
That he's sowing his Wild oats,
Prodigal? Yes. he carolessly spends
The bounty that luck or providence sends;
But he never borrows, and never lends,
And he never CRAFTS nor votes!
A servant-he isn't in anyone's nav,
Takes what he gets and has nothing TO
say;
His faithful plodding day by day,
An honest life connotes.

And he's sowing his wild oats
