days two years ago. Total for 1917 to
date 1924 900. or 1,245,000 less than
same period 1916 and 25S.000 more than
corresponding time 1915.
Cattle.
Offerings Of cattle were much more
numerous than had been expected.
Eastern markets We're in better shape
than last week and aitho packers
got little beef yesterday the fact must
not be ignored that only at Chicago
is reliable supply of decent product
available and a little beef in the coolers
is not liability. as every short run
cleans 1t up. Indications are that April
developed low spots for the season and
the vicissitude OF that period would not
have developed but for the advance in
corn and fear Of price-f1xing.
Receipts for the first two days Of the
week at these points total about $4,000
head, being 10000 more than same days
last week. $4,000 more than a year ago
and 1000 more than corresponding
period two years ago.
Cable reports Of Argentina exports
OF beef for the week up to April e7,
1917, show that exports from that
country were as follows: To England,
1887 quarters: to the continent, 53.29S
quarters; to the United States, none.
The previous weeks exports were as
follows: To England. S4,046 quarters
to the continent, 53,504 quarters; to
the United Safes. none.
Sheep.
Holders Of sheep made no attempt to
lift prices.
Prices have attained such q high
level that packers are commencins to
balk. Reports from some Of the other
western markets told Of higher prices
and that alone kept local SELLERS from
making concessions with receipts here
so meager
Quality was Of the usual high stand
ard and practically Ill Of the westerns
were shorn, while CoioTados wore
largely IN fleece. The variety was more
limited than usual, with hardly any
natives Of any class ON sale. weighty
lots sold at discount and buyers were
after the light stock, altho they bid
lower for all offerings regardless Of
weight.

London, May 1.-THE increasing
clamor in press and parliament indi-
< 4ted today that the British public mind
lis finally grasping the deadly portent
| of the international race between life
and death that is now in the running.
The realization is finally dawning
that the situation has resolved itself in
t, deathly contest between two meth
obs Of waging war, with time and en-
durance as the two most vital consid-
etations. The question now Is whether
the superior land forces Of the allies
can force decision Of arms before
ermanys peculiarly superior, or rather
peculiarly uncomfortable, sea forces
the submarines-can starve England
and cut off supplies here for the fight
ing legic"s.
.niraIty 10 Criticized.
The otncial German figures on the
il rogress OF the undersea campaign have
had the effect Of joltlng the public
mind to the inevitable conclusion that
't,e U-boat warfare has been far more
elccessful than popular belief has been
permitted to entertain. The reichstag
Statistics also aroused press criticism
approaching bitter. which is being di-
lrected at the heretofore unassailable
british admiralty. The complaints are
rimarily concentrated on the admiral
:f''s policy and the growing belief that
the allies have failed to date to create
new methods Of communicating the
S ibmarines.
Attention is being called to the fact
nat so far as the public knows moth
Ing has been accomplished in the last
senty months in the direction Of de-
y ;loping an adequate means of coping
with the subsea menace. which. on the
her hand. has been highly developed
by German ingenuity and naval sci
e1ce. The public demand seems to be
becoming greater daily for intense con-
centration of allied ingenuity in the di-
r ction Of discovering some revolution
tsry anti-submarise plan.
Carson Besieged for Facts.
Members OF the house of commons
are besieging Sir Edward Carson with
t,terrogations touching all the possible
efforts Of combating the U-boats. the
questions are marked with impatience.
The questions to be asked tomorrow are
whether submarines from enemy ports
are reaching the open sea thru the use
Of neutral waters. and whether. in con-
8 deration of such a possibility. notes
of caution should not be sent to the
neutral countries concerned.
