The Break in the Cattle Trade.


The break in the cattle market this
week Is the most severe known to the
trade. 1t has been the cause Of no
small amour: Of speculative gossip
and unquestiorably has unsettled the
country somewhat as 20 the future Of
the cattle market
Experienced cattlemep estimated
that the manee ct in some lines Of cattle
was of anywhere from 81 to 81, and
some were Of the opinion that certain
grades OF beef were off more than
that. Conservative estimates placed
the slump on the bulk OF the yearlings
at 81 to $3.50, while Oh butcher stuff
1t was put as strong at 81 to So. The
grassier the stiff was tha more depre-
citation. Good steers, o. course, stood
up best under the conditions, and as a
rule were not off more than 25 to so
cents.
The receipts for the week have been
year and the run on all markets has
been heavyA which shows how uni
formly the country has acted and what
the market has had to cope with. It is
noticeable, however, that the trade Is
more optimistic and there Is feeling
that prices have hit the bottom.
While es previously stated the effect
of the heavy run and slump in values
has had depressing effects in the coun-
try, the fact Is that when viewed in
connection with certain conditions the
weeks events in the cattle trade
should not pressage future unfavor-
able markets. Cattle were at a record
level and there was uneasiness as to
how long they would remain there
Many producers no doubt felt that
they could never expect to get very
much more for their stuff. At the same
time the run OF grassy stun was just
beginning to materialize and that
meant in Itself lower valuations. There
was some talk that shippers were
anxious to get rid Of stuff that they
had contracted or held before the rise
in freight rates took effect. All these
factors must be taken into considera-
ton.
The effect Of the request Of the food
administration to curtail the consunp-
ton Of beef was undoubtedly magni-
fed. Coming at a time when all other
conditions were ready to work against
maintaining prices 1t can be seen
how it may have helped. That the re-
quest was not intended to have such
an influence is now made clear by
voices from Washington. On the other
hand advices are that the food admin
istration is doing everything in its
power to foster production.
Perhaps there is a somewhat too
general tendency to be "jumpy" over
the various edicts and requests that
come from the food chiefs headquar-
tiers. Some persons seem to think
these various orders and edicts are is
sued hastily or without considering
carefully what their effect may be on
the country
The food administration, however,
has representatives in every import
ant section and market IN the coun-
try and utilizes every source of in
formation that is available to know
the conditions OF supply and demand.
Instead of orders originating with a
single individual. or even several indi-
viduals, they are the result OF DELHI
erations Of many representatives. Of the
food administration. many Of whom
are practical catttt.e1;;e:.. - Drovers

GERMAN ARMY STARVING.
American Merchant Tells Of Serious
Conditions in kaiserland,

~T1cTlCdV WSTCNdnI ISIbS OF S0T'Oho
Conditions in kaiserIand.
An Atlantic Port, June PA Nor
| uegian- steamship arrived
here bringing $50 passengers from
Denmark, Sweden, Russia, and other
countries. American refugees, who
have been in Germany and Russia
since the outbreak of the war, brought
interesting stories.
Before the passengers were per-
| mitted to land, however, British Of
ficers from Halifax, cooperating
with more than 100 officials from the
United States Intelligence bureau, met
the ship at qua rantine and seized all
papers and documents. These are, to
be chemically analysed.
Among the American refugees was
Frederick William Wurzburg, aged "a,
his wife and daughter. Wurzburg owns
store in Grand Rapids.
He said:
1--WE have been struggling since the
war began to get out Of Germany and
only succeeded on May 9--last So
dreadful is the food shortage that my
lost twelve. My daughter suffered so

when we succeeded in reaching
Norway all of us were wearing
paper clothes. Wooden soles on our
shoes caused Che greatest agony
Germany today is nearing a re-
volt. While Olga was confined In
st. Marcus Hospital a; Gatesburg,
where many German soldiers were
patients, one major said to her:
You see I Ehave on the kaiser's
uniform, but Isewisn you knew the
feeling Of hatred that pulsates un-
derneath it.
THE soldiers are practically starv-
ing, while their officers are plentifully
fed.
THE German people refuse to read
the leading newspapers because OF the
falsity Of statements and doctored
news items"
Another arrival was Carl B. Cla-
varius, lawyer Of Milwaukee. Wis.
Speaking Of Sweden, where he has
been for year, he said:
THE poor are suffering dread
fully. The cheapest board obtain
able costs 800 month. There is no
Dutter, milk CT sugar IN the country.
Friends Hho recently returned
from Germany tell me that in Ber-
lin there is more food stored away
than in all the rest OF the German
empire. The rich have food, but
the people have nothing
Baron Sergids Korff, whose wife
was a daughter Of Admiral Van
Rypen of the limited States navy. is
bound for Washington, from Petro-
Grad, Russia. He stated that he had
spent last winter in Stockholm, where
he fled from Finland. He was for
merly assistant governor general Of
Finland, but was chased out" he
said, by the ;oolcheviki.
Conditions generally In Russia
are improving. This Is because the

have done everything possible to ruin
the country. The leaders OF the Dol

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys loaf or bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread, and the British gOvernment is
paying $2O0,0O000O year toward the
cost of it.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This Is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adult
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at Is cents. the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at 3
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

need BIC HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Llva
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their flocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterWard.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown disposition 10
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply OF live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9th
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately 100000
head wore driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 100000
acres of pasture lands have heen turn
ed in'c grain tields--the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
S1776 per 100 pounds; October SIPS;
November and December, $lG08; Jan
larry, $1440. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef ANNALS on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war
Where France had 14,S07 900 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only H.
34f 900, decrease OF 1876 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared TO two
and one-half gallons before the war
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
minstration that the future problem
of America lies largely in the produc-
tion OF meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction OF cereals for export when
the war viii have ceased.

MAKING MEATLEsS
DAYS PERMANENT

In the meatless menu there is a fer
tile field for developing new and nour-
ishing dishes, according to L. II. Niles,
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making it worth while to
develop menus of grain, vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as a ia
voring for other food In making up
meatless menus this author finds cur
