That Argentina beef has caused a re-
duction in the prices of meat in the
United States has been generally sup
posed but the departments bulletin re-
marks that sit is not assumed that
American controlled companies in Ar
gentina are using Argentina beef to
beat down the prices Of Chicago beef.
AT the present time, the bulletin says,
there are nine establishments for
slaughtering, chilling or freezing and
exporting beef located in or near
Buenos Aires, and five of these COM
panies are owned or operated by Chi
cago houses.
In the summarized conclusions of the
bulletin it is shown that imported Ar

the recent rate. a little over per cent

able long distance race against time
in all naval history. On this date IN
1898 it left San Francisco to Join the
warships in Atlantic waters. There
was an effort to surround the Oregon's
movements with secrecy. but every
body guessed her mission and bets
were made on the success of the trip.
Tension relaxed for time after the
Oregon appeared at Callao. Peru. her
first stop, but it became tho more acute
as she steamed southwark toward the
Straits OF Magellan where Spanish

seas made the passing Of the straits
hazardous. After thirty three days out
of San Francisco the Oregon dashed
into the Atlantic, and up the coast.

from the calm periods. which may

The offense charged was that the

Throug four the early part Of the ses-
sion, the market ruled comparatively

An attempt Of a few Of the larger locA
shorts to cover late in the day brought
a sharp rally TO new high prices on this
upturn and closing figure were TO IL
cent higher and az top prices for the
day
Oats-July oats were stronger thar
the May AMI the advance in all deliver
les resulted very largely from strength
in corn A little better inquiry is re.
ported both for seed oats and to fill ths
keen demand for feed-sruffs from the
