Cattle bringing Only About
Half What They Did in

Cattle bringing Only About
Half What They Did in
1918.
Chicago.-The debt laden Amer
ican farmer is between the devil and
the deep blue sea.
On n hand he is being warned
from the market centers Of the coun-
try: "Don't ship!w His markets are
demoralized.
On the other, the country bankers
and merchants are urging him to sell
and "pay up"
Not since the disastrous crisis of a
year ago has the situation confront
ing the agriculturist and stock grow
ers been SO menacing to his peace
of mind and pockketbook as it is to-
day.
Cattle values have dropped 81
per hundred weight in the last week
and are now at the lowest mark
since 1916.
Hogs and sheep are on the tobog-
gan.
Wheat features are at the lowest
level of the season.
Corn is the lowest since 1908.
Oats is the lowest since 1906 for
September.
The average traders at the market
centers do not know what to make
of such markets. A certain amount
of stagnation had been anticipated,
due to business depression and I'M
employment with its resultant re-
.trenchment on the part of the buy
ing public, but nothing like what is
happening had been expected. There
is, in their opinion, only n im1ne-
date remedy, and that is to slow up
supplies coming to the markets.
Thus the buck has been passed to
the farmer. .
ASK FARMERS NOT TO SHIP.
The effect of an unprecedented
appeal sent broadcast by the Chica-
go livestock exchange, asking raisers
to restrict the shipment of cattle TO
the packing centers, will be felt this
week. The result; however, is not ex-
pected to help the farmer beyond the
the point of preventing, if possible,
further price declines, as the ware
houses of the east are loaded with
dressed beef and very little will be
needed for some time to come.
An idea of how the cattle situa-
ton is hitting the farmer can be
cleaned from the following figures:
Average price of cattle today $S.75
One year ago-today----------14.85
Corresponding time 1919----15.S5
Corresponding time 1918 ----15.60
WHO GETS THE DIFFERENCE.
A surprising feature of the situa-
ton is that although farmers are be-
ing forced to, accept sharp drops in
prices, the cost to the consumer for
meat remains virtually the same.
The big packers say that the small
retail butchers are holding up prices
to the public. The butchers in turn
have their abb. Increased cost of
operation, according to John A. Ko-
tai, secretary of the United Master
Butchers of America, is n reason.
He says overhead expenses have
quadrupled in the last five years.
The stock growers and farmers,
generally speaking, r not in a po-
sition to hold up their products.
They have been slowly recovering
from last years attack of economic
sickness and need money to pay off
the doctor. Theirs is a dilemma.
They can't afford to run up a new
bill.-Kansas City Star.
