BEEF
 TO BE REDUCED
American Packers Declare Germans Will be Unable to Control the
 South American Markets.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-Live stock for slaughter at the port of entry will be admitted to England and an order which has been in force five years prohibiting importation of live stock has been abrogated A reduction in the price of beef equal to 25 per cent is expected to follow the change.
 It is believed that the attempt of wealthy Germans to corner the beef of Argentine and other South Ameri- can countries in order to prevent the beef reaching the Allies has caused the change. Germans are reported to have been active in South Ameri- can countries months before the usu- al buying season and have practically shut the British buyers out of the market.
 American packers assert that the Germans will be unable to control the beef trade of Argentine as the largest cattle ranchers in Argentine and oth- CT South American countries are owned by the American packers them selves and that there will be no short age of beef for the markets.
