They killed only 17,512 cattle last week against 21.sss the week before the war and only 30.334 sheep last week against 46,395 the week before the war
 "Clrcumstances of last week. utterly beyond control of anybody, directly af- 1ected live stock and meat prices" Ar mour said.
 "The financial situation everywhere, fortunately now a thing of the past, made it impossible for buyers and ship
 
 Then Washington sent out, and properly so official advice to farmers to hold. their crops. These circum- stances, added to the live stock short lage, caused fluctuations which nobody could control.

 'If we all keep cool and avoid hys- terics we will pull through this un- usual situation to the satisfaction of everybody"
 John T, Russell president of the Master Butchers association sent a let ter to President Wilson asking him to forbid the exportation of meat on the grounds that there Is a shortage of the supply and that a meat famine may re- suit
