WORLDS MEAT RECORD

Amazing Production = One Packer
Alone in Thirty-Fmr Weeks
Slaughtered 100000 Cattle-Sales
Increase One-Third Over Last Year.,
Chicago, Ang. 9.-The meat records
of all countries and all ages have now
Eeen surpassed by amazing produc-
ton in America, according to an au-
thoritative statement issued here to-
day by Armour & Company.
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 100000, 900,
classified as follows: Cattle, IT,
100000; sheep, 27,O0O,O0o; hogs, 61,-
100000.
1t is believed that the aggregate
gross sales of the five larger packers
will approach S3,O00,OO0,000 for the
year 1918. On this whole amount
the average net profit indicated now
will be between two and three cents
per dollar of sales. But on meat the
average profit is running less than the
two cents per dollar of sales which
is less than the limit allowed by the
Federal regulation restricting profits
on meat to 9 per cent on the capital
invested.
These sales figures represent an in
crease of full third over the opera
lions of these concerns last year and
also show that their financial turn
over is more than twice what it 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- increased ton
mage.
The meat business is now believed
t. be the largest American industry,
and the operations of these concerns
alone probably constitute one-twen-
tieth of the, cnuntry's manufactured
output. -,
The five leaIling packers made gross
sales aggregating $5,oOO,OOO,OOO for
tire: three-year period 19l571916-l917.
Their average earnings in the same
period were about 3 cents per dollar
of sales, including even the most pro-
fitable .non-edibie,; .by-product lines
With the rest.
1t is calculated that the average re-
ccipts last year per head of cattle
both from beef and by-products-ex-
"eeded the cost of the cattle on the.
hoof by about $3.50, and that OF this
$3.50, the cost of dressing, selling and
freight used up about $740, leaving
a net profit of s1.1O, or a small frae-,
ton of a cent a pound Cor dressed
beef.
Records kept at the stockyards show
also that in the six months ending
April 80 last (the six months after the
y per cent law on meat, one packer
paid 1923, 100000 for live stock which
yielded 81 1858, GOO0 900 potinds dressed
weight; and that the same packer paid
S21O,000,O00 in the same period of,
1917 for live stock which yielded l.
3SS 100000, the weight thus increas-
ing sixteen and one-half 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 five packers in their
businesses at present aggregates more
than $500, G00,O OO.
