CATTLE SHORTAGE
IN j. S. IS FEARED.
Report Says Producers Are Dis
couraged Because Of De-
cline in Prices.

While there Is shortage OF cattle
in the country. officials OF the De
partment OF Agriculture today ex-
pressed the opinion that the shortage
would not necessarily result In nigh
er meat prices in the near future.
According to figures compiled by
the Bureau OF Markets, the receipts OF
cattle at So public stockyards dur
ing the hrst seven months OF 1920
numbered lIss4.4s7 heads. as com
pared with 12.a3ss76 received during
the same period Sf last year. This is
decrease OF only s4,37s. or 81 per
cent.
During the seven months period
the receipts OF "stockers and feed
ers," which IL the trade name for
ket and for stock purposes numbered
1.SS7,042 During the frst seven
months OF 1919 the receipts numbered
2.248,O46 head. This ID a decrease OF
1858. .006. or 10 per cent.
Department OF Agriculture officials
say that the shortage Is due partly 10
the declining prices OF live stock and the
increased cost OF production. Pro-
ducers are becoming discouraged be-
cause prices have declined sharply
from those prevailing during the war
period. The difficulty in financing
operations is also a factor In the
situation. although it's effect Is not
as apparent now as II will be In later
shipments.

JEWELRY TRANSPORTED

GENEVA, Switzerland, July. 22 (by Associated Press).-Watches and jew elry are to be transported to Paris by newly established aerial service and from Paris to London by the present commercial air line, to avoid the trou- blesome delays of the present rail ser vice. A syndicate of the principal manufacturers has been found at Chaux de Ponds, the seat of the indus try, to handle the air shipments It is expected ten days will be saved by this method and the cost will be slight in proportion to the value of the freight,
 Air shipments were decided upon largely because of American buyers insistence upon prompt delivery.

WOMEN TAKE STEP TO FORM
 BIG ALLIANCE

< NEW YORK, July 22 (by Associated Press) ).-Definite steps toward forma tion of great alliance of all the gar ment workers unions in America have been taken by the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union.
 Benjamin Schlesinger, president of the union, announced today that call had been sent out for a conference to be held the later part of October for the purpose of organizing a fed
 eration of the 500,O00 clothing work
 CTS in the seven international unions in the clothing and garment industry ''The logic of events and the legi- innate causes which have prompted the formation Of national departments in the mining, building, printing and other industries point with directness to the identical necessity of forming a similar federation in our industry" said the call sent out by MT. Schies- finger.
 The membership of the following international unions would be repre-
 scented in such an alliance: United
 Garment Workers of America, Anal
 gamated Clothing Workers, Interna- tional Journeymen Tailors' Union of
 America, United Cloth Hat, Cap Mak-

TWO SAILORS NARROWED ON
 DESERT ISLE

YOKOHAMA, July 22 (by Associ- ated Press) Two Americans sailors, w. V. Dawson and E. Clifton, have reached here after exciting expert ences in the South seas. Their term of naval service expiring on the Amer ican island of Guam, they welded na- tive daughters of Uncle Sams island and decided to take a honeymoon trip to Australia.
 They embarked in a 40-foot launch. Understanding the distance, they soon discovered that their food and fuel was exhausted. Then came a typhoon. The fragile craft was wrecked and the four newly married young people were thrown upon a desert isle which they found entirely uninhabited.
 There doubtless they would have continued Robinson Crusoe type of existence had not small Japanese trading vessel put in for water. They were rescued and taken to the former German island of Yap, where later they embarked on a Japanese naval supply steamer for Yokohama

MAKE STUDY OF
 ANIMAL LIFE
 IN KAMCHATKA

YOKOHAMA, July g (by Associ- ated Press) An expedition fitted out by the Swedish Society of Anthropol- ogy and Geography of Stockholm has left Yokohama to make a scientific survey of the peninsula of Kamchatka. The work will last for at least two years.
 The members of the expedition are scientists from the University of Stockholm and are under the direc- tion of Even Bergman. They are pre- pared for geological, botanical, eth biographical, geological and geograph- ical survey of the whole peninsula. The collections will be donated to the Swedish Geographical Society and to the University of Stockholm.
 Kamchatka is known to have a rich and varied flora and fauna but it is comparatively unknown to scientists. hTplant life is particularly interest ing, as it is unusually extensive for the high latitude and many of the forms belong to regions much farther south. Birds and animals are numer- ous, and as far as known are similar to those of Alaska.

LITTLE DEMAND FOR WO0LS OF
 COARSE GRADE

BUENOS AIRES, July 22 (by Asso- ciated Press) ).-The cessation of the demand for coarse grades of wool for army uniforms and the refusal of average people, in spite of the high cost of living, to buy clothing made of the coarse grades, has left Argentina with more than 2OO,00O,OO0 pounds of almost unstable wool on it's hands according to a local manufacturer of woolen cloth. This huge quantity will be increased during the present shear ing season.
 As the production of wool in this country is growing year by year, the problem of selling the coarser grades is considered very serious. One req son for the situation is that formerly Argentine sheep breeders had thought more of the meat than the wool, with the result that their stock became mixed and in consequence the wool coarse and not uniform.
