MEAT RECORDS SURPASSED.
Production In Amsrioa Passes All Pro
duetion Of All AGES.

VVVo0VNtVV VI Ntu0rt00 raises All FRO.
duetion Of All Ages.
Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE meat records
OF all countries and all ages have now
been surpassed by amazing production
In America, according to an authori-
tative statement issued here today by
Armour g. Co.
One packer alone has slaughtered
about 100000 cattle in the first thirty
four weeks Of his fiscal year 1918. The
total number Of animals killed by the
leading packers during the three fiscal
years falling within the world-war
period and ending in the fall Of 1917 is
given as 10000, 0o0 classified as fol-
lows: Cattle. 1900 900: sheep, 27,00o,-
900; hogs. 100000.
It il believed that the asgregate
gross sales Of the five larger packers
will approach $4,000, 00o, 900 for the year
1913. On this whole amount the aver
age net profit indicated now will be
between and 3 cents per dollar Of
sales. But on meat the average profit
is running less than the 20 cents per
dollar Of sales, which is less than the
limit allowed by the federal regulation
restricting profits on meat to per cent
on the capital invested.
These sales figures represent an in
crease Of a full third over the opera
lions Of these concerns last year and
also show that their financial turnover
Is more than twice what Il was in their
largest year before the world war and
has trebled itself in five years. These
large totals are of course due primarily
to increased prices, rather than to in
creased tonnage.
The meat business is now believed to
be the largest American industry and
the operations of these concerns alone
probably constitute one-twentieth Of
the country's manufactured output
The five leading packers made gross
sales aggregating $4,000, 000. 900 for the
three-year period 1915-1s16-1917. Their
average earnings in the same period
were about 8 cents per dollar of sales.
edible, by-product lines with the rest.
II IL caulculated that the average re-
ceipts last year per- head of cattle
both from beef and -products-ex-
ceeded the cost of cattle on the hoof
by about $3.50. and that Of this $3.50,
the cost of dressing, selling and freight
used up about t7.40, leaving a net profit
of $1:10, or q small fraction Of cent a
pound for dressed beef. E,s
Records kept at the stockyards show
also that in the six months ending
April 80 last 1.-THE six months after the
. per cent law on meat, one packer paid
$323. 000. 900 for live stock which yielded
1,55s,0o0 pounds dressed weight; and
that the same packer paid $210, 000, 600
In the same period OF 1917 for live stock
which yielded 1885, 500. 900, the weight
thus increasing 16h per cent while the
cost Of the live stock to the packer
was Increasing 81 per cent.
1t Is estimated that the capital en-
ployed by the i've packers in their
businesses at present aggregates more
than $500, 000, 900.
