Buyers At South ST. Paul Swell
Monthly Average
From Fridays uan..

From Fridays 0afr".
ST. Paul, July PACKERS and
other live stock buyers on the South
st. Paul market have paid out te
farmers and stockmen of Minnesota
and the northwest $50 900, 600 for cat
tie. hogs and sheep since January /
1916, breaking the former record fol
the first six months of the year, es-
tablished in 1914. by an average OF
SiD00.000 month.
These figures are based on the re-
ceipts during the period which ag-
gregated more than 24.350 carloads OF
stock, an Increase of $3.50 cars.
This record was made despite re-
ceipts from Wisconsin being wholly
cut of during March and April by
quarantine restrictions imposed to
prevent the spread OF foot and mouth
disease.
Receipts Since January.
Receipts since January | were given
out as approximately 205.500 cattle,
63, 100 calves. 1.16s.S00 hogs, 1S9,500
sheep and 1850 horses. The total for
sheep alone was smaller than during
the same period last year,
The rapid growth of the pork rails
ing industry in the northwest Is re-
fiected by the increase OF practically
4O0, 900 i'm receipts over the total for
the first six months of 1914. Hog
supplies thus far this year have been
more than double the number arriv-
ing from New Years day to July /,
1912.
Cattle receipts have shown sub
stantial enlargement also. increasing
$1,000 over year ago. and $4,000
over the 1912 figures. A noteworthy
feature has been the gradually dwin-
ding percentage of veal calves among
the receipts. The above figures do
not include vealers. the receipts of
such stock having been only 500 head
more than during the same time last
wear ard 2.7O0 less than the total for
the first six months of 1912.
Prices Remain Satisfactory.
Prices generally have been satis-
factory. although hogs have averaged
somewhat cheaper than during the
same period q year ago. On the other
hand. cattle and sheep have averaged
higher than early In 1914 and there
have been more high priced cattle
than ever before from northwestern
farms. the beef grades showing SUI
perior finish and indicating improved
methods of feeding on the average
northwestern farms.
Although the sheep and lamb mar
ket Is In q midsummer slumn lust
now. record prices have prevailed in
this department up until the past four
weeks. There was scarcity of such
stock all over the country.
War Bestirs Exports.
The Euronenn war has resulted in
revival OF the export business I'm
meats from this country. and of late
has diverted South American meat TO
Europe and removed II rs n competi-
tor OF United States products I'm the
domestic trade.
Reports from over the northwest re-
ceived nv traders at South St Paul
indicate that the live stock output OF
the farms oS this territory win con-
tinue to increase ranidly and that the
market here. which has been growing
faster than any other hacking centn-
in the west the past three years, will
continue to enlarge.

County Attorney Albert II. Emerson,

I'm view of the fact that slight

Olson will probably grant an inspec-
tion of the ballots at which time a
recount will be made. This will likely
occur some time next week.

Should The recount sustain the Of

that the matter will be dropped. but
should IL develop that the "wets"
stand good show of overturning the
