Why Meat Is High

The meat supply Of the United State,
has undergone a startling decline in
the last decade, according to COM
pilation by the National City Bank.
The number of available food animals
in the United States on January 1, as
shown by the recent statement of the
Department of Agriculture, compared
with the total on January /, 1907,
shows a fall OF over 100000 in the
number of cattle other than mich
cows, and of nearly 100000 in the
number of sheep. Meantime the pop
ulation of continental United States
ha, increased 100000. Thus the
supply of cattle available for food has
decreased 20 per cent and that Of sheep
10 per cent, while the consuming pop
ulation was increasing IS per cent.
Hogs are the only class of food ami
mails showing an increase, the number
Of swine in the United States having
been on January /, 1917, about 13,000,-
600 greater than in 1907, while the
decline in the number Of cattle is TO-
100000 and of sheep 100000.
This large decrease in the number OF
food animals has not, however, re-
duced the value Of the entire group.
On the contrary, the advance in prices
OF meats has greatly increased the
value of the reduced number. The De-
partment of Agriculture figures, on
which these compilations are based,
put the value of the 40,849,00o cattle,
other than mich cows, on farms in the
United States on January l, 1917, at
81. 465, $500 while the value Of the
81 ,566,OO0 head in 1907 was but $751;
$4,000. The average value a head
of mich cows in 1907 was SS0.78 and
in 1917 S5966; all other cattle in 1907
was S17.09 head and in 1917 S35.S8;
sheep in 1907, 1888 head, and in 1917,
STA and swine in 1907, s7e3 head,
and in 1917, sll.73 a head. Thus cows,
"other cattle" and sheep have doubled
in price a head in ten years, while
swine show an increase of 80 per cen'
a head in value in that period.

and for 1912, the previous record year.
S1,sfs, 100000 December imports were
valued at s2O5, 700, indicating
continuation Of the recovery which set

sharp decline from the large total of
s246,000,000 for June. The December,

INCREASED PRODUCTION
OF SULPHURIC ACID

A large increase in the production of
sulphuric acid was shown in this coun'
try in 1915, compared with the record
of the industry for the preceding year.
The most notable feature of the out
put was the enormous expansion in
the production of acids of strengths
greater than 60 degrees, "a indicated
by reports from the United States Geo
logical Survey. The estimate shows a
production of these stronger acids of
more than 100000 tons, as against o
production Of less than 100000 tons in
1915.

Monday, January 90, 1917.

Below the surge Of war prosperity
and concomitant tendency of an opu-
lent people to indulge in many forms
of extravaganza there is discern
ible throughout the nation an under
current of thrift. In the month
Of December, for instance, the in
crease in Postal Savings deposits
was $3,500,000, or almost four times
that for December, 1915, and for the
year 1916 the increase was about
S37, $50 900, or so per cent over 1915.
On the first of the year postal saw
ings facilities were available at 1854
postoffices in the United States,
Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico.
There were also us branches and
stations where such savings could be
placed, making a total Of o,402 de-
positories in operation on that date.
At these repositories $4,000 persons
had accounts with $ll2,000,000
standing to their credit. This is an
average Of slightly over 1859 to each
depositor.
While in volume the postal saw
ings dwindle into insignihcance
alongside Of the deposits of the
ccuntry's savings banks, they are
nevertheless expressive of a national
attitude, and the increase shown last
year gives assurance that funda-
mental instinct impels a movement
among every day folks in the right
economic direction.

The above rates express the cost OF
foreign money in terms OF the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling for s4.75ii; the intrinsic par
ity is S4s6ss per pound. Thus. you
say either that pounds are at a dis
count or that dollars are at a pre-
MUM, which is owing to the fact that
in England the demand for dollars
with which to settle accounts in this
country is greater than the demand in
this country for pounds with which TO
settle accounts in England.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-01-23

The developments of the last two
years have tended toward making
us a capitalistic nation, in the same
sense as France was before the war.
France was very keen on lending
her SURPRISES and financing coun-
tries, like Russia, Serbia and Bel
GUM, with the development Of in
dustries and manufactures as aux
ilaries. At present special circum-
stances have helped the growth of
our manufactures, principally OF
war supplies on large scale. But
after the war the chances are that
our foreign business will tend more
toward financing than trading.
Russia, South America and most of
the other countries with which we
want to advance our commercial re-
lations cannot sell us their raw
produce in the same volume as to
England or Germany. So our de-
velopment must mainly be connected
with financing, construction of rail-
roads, public utilities, electric rail
ways, etc. Consequently, there is
every chance of lively competition
between the two countries, unless
the war has so crippled France as
to leave her unable to resume her
former position. Neither in France
nor the United States are there any
special manufactures intended solely
for export, as is the case in England
and Germany.
