The soap is not made, but mined

mine is to put it in cans either IN ie'

TOO MUCH MEAT
Farmers Now Urged to Keep
Cattle OF Market.
Cold Storage Warehouses Are
damned with Beef.
UNEMPL OYMENT SLUMP CAUSE
High Retail Prices of Meat Pre-
vent Consumption.
Livestock Exchange Head De-
clareS Butchers "RObbers."

Chicago, Aug. 20.-Farmers in all
parts of the middle west today were
receiving an appeal sent out by the
Chicago Livestock exchange urging
them to restrict shipments of cattle
to the packing centers. Demoraliza-
ton of the trade, the appeal declares,
will result from further Cutting of the
market.
Two reasons are assigned for the
present overstocked status of the pack
ing centers. One is the recent cam
paign waged by rural banks and mer-
chants to induce farmers to sell their
grain and livestock and pay their
debts.''
Cold Storage damned.
The second is a sudden slump in
consumption of beef. This second
cause is attributed to high retail prices
of meat and to the unemployment
The dressed beef trade, according to
the appeal, is now demoralized and
cold storage plants already are
damned with meat sold to distribu-
tors who can find no market for it.
The pay your. debts" campaign. it
Is declared, also has been responsible
for recent declines in the price of
grain. Corn and oats on the Chicago
board of trade reached the lowest
level yesterday since 1906. Liquida-
ton of these grains has been mark
eddy heavy for the past thirty days.
Everett c. Brown, head of the live
stock exchange, today explained his
reasons for advising farmers to hold
their cattle.
Feed Low Priced Grain.
by holding their cattle" Brown as
serted, the farmers may take advant-
age of the present low prices of grain
to feed up their cattle. By putting
more beef on the bones of their steers.
the farmers can make more, money
for themselves, and, by creating a
larger supply of beef, tend to bring
down prices"
Brown attacked the retail butchers
as burglars" declaring they were
refusing to buy of stocks of meats
now held by distributors in an effort
to keep prices up and thus were caus-
ing congestion of the dressed beef
market. He explained that holding
cattle on the farms would compel the
retailers to buy stocks on hand at
lower prices and result in a conse-
quent reduction of cost to the con-
sumner
