d bond issue is desired or whether it is
desired to grant a franchise to private

Drought in Europe.

England and the continent suffered this
summer from the same sort Of drought
that affected cattle pasturage in this
country, and the shortage Of meat stock
is, IL anything. more marked there than
here. This is due partly to the butcher
ing OF breeding stock and partly to the
increasing congestion Of population that
makes a greater demand for meat and
tends to increase prices.
England. which formerly was the
largest importer Of dressed meat from
the United States. has DETECTED her
trade in this line to the Argentine
since the exports of meat from this
country fell off SO markedly In the past
few years
