MEAT PRICE PROSPECTS.
The announcement <>r another
increase in Hit price of heel'has
furnished another proof Hint
President Tall was in error when
lie declared a few weeks that
n reduction in Hie eosl of liv
ing, particularly in meal foods,
was certain to follow the record
breaking corn and forage crops of
the present year. The I rouble is
that the high priee of stock food
for several years and I lie con
stant narrowing of the ranges
has rediiced I In* supply of live
stock and 111.» old law of supply
and demand is operalinp to keep
meat prices high.
Recent federal slnli>lie> >ho\y
beyond all .doubt that in toon
there were in the l.'iiitcd Stales
202 spring calves to 1.00(1 pop
ulation, IhiI in 1010 I here were
hut Hi. In loon tlie number of
dairy cows per 1,000 population
was 225 against 221 in 1010. fn
1000 there were other cattb; to
the number o|° • «».-• per thousand
as against :tr>8 in 10in—KOI of
rattle per l.nnn -population in
4 900 'In 0(i(» in '19 Ml. which is
quite a ditl'crenre. All cattle de
creased in number 0,103,(11 0 in
the ten years. Of spring lambs
4lioro were 0.028.i7 7 fewer in
1910 than in 1000 and the nuin
"b'er per l.nnn of 'popnlalion fell
from 285 to I.'17. Other sheep
and lamb- fell front 52 I perv l.nnn

Presidents and congresses may
appoint conimi>>ioiis lo investi

lliese evperls may ligtire until

fact remains thai we will not
