So Says Meat Trust and Leather Trust, Then Raises Prices. The men who Are so manipulating the beof market that poor people are com- pelled to place beef in the category of forbidden luxuries, do not offer it as 1 reason for cornering the market at this time, but the Chicago house of Ar- mour & Co, submit to Secretary Morton the sworn statement of K. J, Martyn, thelr manager, that owing to the hard times and because of the hot compe- Uton between the slaughtering and packing firms, the beef trade was car- ried on at a heavy loss all through the year 1804, Mr. Martyn says that at the beginning of 18% It became apparent that cattle were short, and beef slaughterers were obliged to put their delivery houses on shorter supplies. Prices advanced slow- ly, and by April 1 were $1.50 a hundred pounds higher than in January. Retail dealers, says the veracious Mar- tyn, got frightened and pushed their prices up, and this was what caused consumption of beef to fall off. ‘The reason why dressed beef advanced so much more rapidly than cattle is, ac- cording to this statement, because the hides, horns and offal did not advance, and they had to be bought with the rest of the animal on the hoof. ‘Thero was a falling off in cattle of 20,000 last week as compared with the same week of 184, and in weight a de- crease of 12,400,000 pounds or, 2,000,000 pounds a day at Chicago, and it was the same or greater at the other centres of the trade, An abstract from the books of Armour Co. Inclosed with the statement shows ‘that that concern slew 421,720 cattle in the year ending Nov. 3, Iho and that these philanthropists lost 17.4 cents on every animal slaughtered, an 13,230.43. But in January ‘ebruary the concern recouped par- tially on 56,948 cattle at 45.18 cents profit per head—netting $25,729.10, and on, 44,- 2 cattle, prepared for the market from Feb. 2% to April 2), a profit of 21 cents a head was made, ‘These figures ure very interesting, but they do not convince the New York meat dealers nor the people who would like to have a steak or a roast now and then, that the sharp advance In prices thut’has placed beef out of the reach of thelr pocketbooks, is warranted by the law of supply and demand, and dealers from the Battery to Yonkers and from Coney Island to the Oranges all record a falling off in their trade in beef of from 15 to 50 per cent. While the statement from Armour & Co., to Secretary Morton gives as a part of the reason for the phenomena of an increase In the prices of dressed beef many times greater than the rise in the price of cattle per |horns, hide and offal di the rest of the carcass, Trust is raising the leathers and uppers fo that w! shoe dealers have heen obliged t their customers that prices goods will be 2 per cent. in advance of present rates. That 1s to say the price of beet goes up enormously, because cattle have ad- vanced 11-2 cents a pound, and hites do not take any part In the’ advance, put leather goes up 25 per cent, because cat- tie are scarce and costly! ‘Which means that $3 shoes will cost $3.75, and a $4 shoe will cost $5, and this extortion will extend to 70,000,000 people in the United States. ‘the United States Leather Company ia the corporate name of the Sole Leather Trust, It was organized in May, 1892, with a capital of $120,000,00, and 80 per Cent of the tanneries In ‘the United |States are in the combine. The shoe men are obliged to buy from the Trust, for they have crushed out all opposi- toa, ‘The ‘Trust says hides have ad- vanced, but, for every cent and more in the price of hides two cents haa been advanced in the price of sole leather, And as a matter of fact the Trust 1s now ‘selling for. $6,000,000 stock of hidex Purchased in 1893, when the country was passing through great financial opression, and hides were dirt cheap, fo that union sole leather for which the ‘Trust is exacting 30 cents a pound, coat them only > cents a pound two years ago. ound that the not rise with the Leather — a Standard Rank Hegins Business, ‘Tho Standard National Rank, organized soveral weeks ago, began business to-day In the Motro- Bullding In Madison Square.
