Of last week that the so.called
Regulars in the State Senate had

control of the Senate, as they

will be considerably less than at

rash Shipping Of finished or half
fat stuff to the market 10 certain
to be followed by period of
light receipts, Of inferior quality,
with tremendous demand and
abnormally high prices, because
no argument or temporary condi.
ton can overcome the controlling
market influences Of supply and
demand and that there can be
no gainsaying the shortage Of
supply at this time.

That some measure Of relief
might be brought about by legisr
lation preventing the slaughter
Of calves, which according to
figures taken from the annual
report of Swift and Company
reached last year the tremendous
figures Of eight million head, is
evident, but that such legislation
will ever obtain in this country
is extremely doubtful. Certain
it is that it will not come about
until our people are thoroughly

three years ago swept the ranches
of many thousands Of young stock
that would have been available
for export"
1t would seem, therefore, that
South America and Canada may
we'll be eliminated as factors to
be reckoned with when consider,
ing the territory from which, cat.
tie will reach the American mar.
ket in competition with our ma.
tive product. This practically
leaves but one country from
which it would seem that the
United States may draw any
large number Of cattle to replen.
ish the supply Of its ranches or
furnish the grist for its packers.
That country is Mexico, which
for the past several years has
suffered from a political condi.
tion which has has of itself forced
the Mexican ranch owners to get
out of their country as large a
number Of their herds as possible
to prevent their destruction by
the warning factions. This lie
forcibly emphasized by the fact
that our total imports Of cattle
for 1912, amounting to three
hundy ID twenty.six thousand
head, bfee hundred and FIVE
thousa49 head came from Mexi.
co, but that the imports from
that country for this year will
not equal that figure is indicated
by the imports for January Of
this year compared with January
one year ago. In January, 1912,
our imports from Mexico amoant.
ed practically to twenty-five
thousand head, while for January
1918, they were twenty thousand,
four hundred head.
That the shortage in that
country is such as to cause alarm
among those prominent in the
commercial life of Mexico is in
dicated in the statement made
recently by one of her leading
citizens TO the effect that should
the United States place cattle
upon the free list Mexico would
at once impose an export duty
on her cattle equal to the duty
now collected as import by this
country, such measure being
considered by them as absolutely
necessary to reha bilitate their
herds and insure supply Of beef
cattle sufficient to meet their
local necessities. That this ex.
port duty will in all probability
be levied as soon a political con.
ditions are somewhat settled in
that country, regardless of any
tariff action that may be taken
by the United States is probable.
From this it would seem that
although the present tariff bill
may place meat and cattle upon
the free list, the farmers Of the
United States need have no fear
of their products coming in com.
petition with cattle from any
foreign country, because it is
clearly evident that there is q
world wide shortage of cattle and
that the future price Of beef
will be determined in q world
market, which market will re.
feet the tremendous influences
of supply and demand, the visi-
bic supply and the demand Of
foreign countries being such at
this time as to assure a ready
market at present or higher
prices for all the beef cattle.
