BEEF TRADE IS HIT;
APPEAL SENT OUT
SHIPPERS ARE URGED TO HOLE
BACK CATTLE.
AGLUT IN EASTERN MARKETS
Head Of National Live Stock ES
change Declares Disaster Is
Threatening.

Chicago.--A movement. by commits
sion men and packers 10 restrict in
coming shipments of live stock, and
which eventually may have the effect
of forcing retail prices OF meat down
ward, came in an appeal sent broad
cast by Everett C. Brown, president OF
the National Live Stock exchange.
"The dressed beef trade is in a de-
moralized condition" 1t was explained.
Although wholesale prices OF beef
have dropped until ~forequarters are
selling in some places at 4 cents a
pound, retail prices have not come
down.
with retail prices up the house is
not buying. With that condition eX-
listing, the retailer Of course is not
selling and is consequently not buy
ing from the wholesaler, who in turn
has restricted his orders from the
packers. Meanwhile from the western
markets the usual rail shipments OF
cattle for this time Of year are being
shipped and the packers, perforce, are
converting the shipments into dressed
meats.
"The result has been that eastern
beef markets especially have become
c~ongested, and a disaster is threat
ened in Chicago and other western
markets unless loading OF live cattle
in the country is arrested"
The appeal to shippers TO put as
few cattle on the rails as possible was
made only after a general survey OF
the beef situation was made.
Storage space at the Atlantic sea.
board is congested to such a degree
that beef arriving from the west can
not be %unloaded," said ]. B. Stafford,
president of the Chicago Live Stock
western markets get a s~easonable sup
ply next week the cattle market will
collapse into the same demoralized
condition as the beef trade. At New
York and Philadelphia the sold rail
is full of beef bought by distributors
who have been unable to move it, con.
%sequently they are temporarily out Of
the market, with the result that med.
ium and common grades are accumu.
lating in a that portends ca
lamity unless the supply is reduced.
Packers are ~endeavoring to sell beef
at eastern markets at prices far be.
low cost without success.
"a s~easonable run of short fed and
grass cattle during the past two weeks
has found a restricted outlet. West
Of the Mississippi river beef gather.
ing is now in full swing so that in any
event there will be a superabundance
at the markets next week. Already
many cattle have declined 81 per hun.
dred weight, which could easily be re.
peated on a liberal run next week"
The solution Of the situation, ac-
cording to commission men and pack.
ers, lies in the hands of the retailers.
The wholesale price steadily declin
ing, the retail price should be virtual.
ly on the same level. II the retail
price were lowered in comparison with
the decline in wholesale prices, it is
urged that the public would be stimu.
lated into buying the cheaper cuts o.
meat, thus opening the market dis.
tribution all the way along the line.

State Managership.

| The. Gazette, in its editor.
ial. columns on June 23d,
took occasion to discuss a
possible analogy between
The comparatively recent
eity manager idea and a
state manager. It called at
Beiltion ito the fact that the
administration of municipal
government by, a city man
lager was now in force in
more than $50 cities in the
SUnited.. States and rapidly
aug1nenting the number OF
its converts. It emphasized
the: fact that; the city OF
Staunton was the first city
in.ithie world to adapt the
system. It made the. claim
THAT the election of Senator
IT,, Lee .Tririkle as the next
governor Of Virginia, almost
"a ,ceritainty, WOULD :be identi-
Zeal in principle with the APP
spointment' of. a city man
Eager, and that Virginia
could claim the honor OF be-
ing the first state to apply
to both municipal and state
administration the theory
and practice Of business
management. The Gazette
then announced that it
would claim the honor OF
the first announcement to
the world of the extension
:" of Of city managership to
state nanagership by the
Old Dominion.
Now comes the New York
Sun, and says: "DoWn in
Virginia, State Senator E.
Lee Trinkle, who will almost
certainly be the next COVER
nor, is basing his candidacy
upon the state manager idea.
Mr.. Trinkle, a man OF I'M
usual experience and ability,
promises to give the Old
Dominion the same efficient
administration that a big
corporation would expect
from it's president. He is
carrying into the State gov
eminent the experiment
which has already been
worked out successfully IN
the City Manager plan"
Can it be that the New
York Sun has read the Ga
zette editorial? The identity
of thought is striking and
the similarity of expression
equally marked.
The Gazette claims prior
ity of utterance, however,
if not of thought.
