A series of unavoidable events, most of ~them resuiting from abnormal conditions CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years i Btz Signatare of arp | produced by the war, contributed to the isturbing infiences described are periodical releases by the war department of surplus stocks of beef in an effort to reduce living costs, higher stocker and feeder markets, high priced feeds, fruition of producers’ efforts to in- crease cattle production for war needs and anticipated foreéign demands, labor troubles, decreased tramsportation facili- tles, embargoes, unsettled forelgn credit and exchange conditions, decrease in beef exports, financial credit restrictions, de- clines in prices of hides, tallow, and other animal by-products, and decreased or spasmodic consumption of meat. In fact, the Teport says, every possible economic factor incidental to a period of reconstruction and capable of disturbing market conditions for these prodtcts of the farm and range had free and almost unlimited action. Prices of livestock in the Chicago fmar- ket and those pald for dressed carcasses as taken from New York quotations from ten days to two weeks after the live cattle transactions also showed wide fluctua~ e uLedrdnce BEGINS THIS MORNING, It is the custom to carry nothing over from one season to another.
