The men in the pens arc the ones who must judge each steer and de termine what he is v/orth. Are the great stock yards of Chi cago, Kansas City, Omaha and else where hotbeds of monopolistic control which succeeds In mulcting the farm er on the one hand, and the consumer who buys meat, on the other hand? This will be one of the questions threshing over in the discussion of the Kenyon bill now before a committee of the Senate. If these big markets, where millions upon millions of dollars change hands, have any sort of a strangle-hold on our food resources, few there would be who would not say, rout them. Yet equally few, perhaps, could give you any sort of a vivid word-picture of what takes place in these markets through which flows much of our farm wealth. Separate From Packing Plants. The “stock yards” are synonymous in the minds of many people with all packingdom. This is error number one. They are operated as corpora tions wholly distinct from the packing plant companies that cluster around them. The stock yards perform two func tions : they are unloading, feeding and resting stations for live stock; and markets for buying and selling. As buying and selling places, they are among the most interesting spots in the world—places where one may see a nation at its bartering. Huge auc tion stations where a fraction of a point counts, and counts big. The Chicago stock yard.*?, as the most notable example, will receive in Q day anywhere from 10,000 to 30,000 cj'.ttle, not to mention hogs and sheep. These would repi’esent shipments by many farmers. Each farmer puts his cattle into the hands of a commission firm who acts as his agent. The “stock In trade” of the commission firm is a satisfied clientele among the farmers —tiie bettor bargainers they are for a long price, the more the farmer is dis posed to patronize them. A Game for Experts. It is a titanic game, and one for ex perts. On the one side are arrayed the commission men, and on the other the buyers representing packing con cerns, brokers and others. Both sides know their business, which is to say that they know full well what the re ceipts of the day are and their rela tion to the requirements, and they knov/ cattle. The big auction begins. Not from a block, but an auction for all that. Buyers, mounted on ponies, scurry hither and thither, making a bid on me lot here and on another lot there. The commission man will hold the bid in abeyance, dickering for a few points higher price and awaiting the arrival of another man on a pony who may make him a better offer.f Every com mission man is a competitor of all the other commission men; and every buy er is a competitor of all the oAer buy ers. We say that all of these men know cattle. A steer is not a standardized commodity. Nature makes him what he is. The contour of his haunches, the build of his body and his make-up in general have everything to do witU what he is worth as a beef animal. No one can detei*min<‘ his value but the men in the pens,—the commission men and the buyers. Buyers Represent Many Firms. Many think that these cattle are all purchased l)y the big packers, which is far from being the case. Besides the buyers for the big packers there are always in the Chicago yards from a hundred to a hundred and fifty other buyers on the scene, many of them representing firms that are ngt located near the stock yards or even in the same elty. All told, the larjre pack ers do only 44 per cent of the meat animal slaughtering of the entire com- try. The penalty which awaits the buyer who will not bid up to true values is that the other buyers take the cattle away from him and his firm will be without its requirements. On the oth er hand the commission men cannot stick it out for an exorbitant price; for the buyers would cut down on the amounts of their purchases. There are some people who will buy meat at any price, but the majority of peo ple reduce tlieir meat purchases pre cisely as the prices mount upward. The buyers in the stock yards reflect this attitude of the general public al most as accurately as a thermometer indicates the temperature. The Arena of Supply and Demand. In other words, the stock yards are the meeting places of two tremendous powers of the economic ^world,—Sup ply and Demand. Any one who vis its one of these places, even as the most casual observer, and watches what occurs there, will give up any illusion he may have about monopoly or control. Too many buyers and sell ers are involved, and judging the value of an individual steer or a pen full .if steers is altogether too compli cated a matter to cover by any sort of agreement in advance. The Kenyon bill would make it illo gal for any packers to have financial holdings in stock yards corporations. Common sense rightly asks, “Wliy?’’ How such holdings, which, where they exist, are nothing more than financial backing of a worthy enterprise, can control the men in the pens who are hired to use their jndpment, is too deep to be seen at a glance. The ad vocates of the bill should be forced to explain. And how a lack of such hold ings would prevent control or monop oly. if such things were possible, is an other thing which the proponents of the bill should be able to elucidate. SMALL PACKERS OPPOSE LICENSE Cincinnati meat packers In drawing resolutions against the licensing of all packers doing Interstate business, brought attention to the fact that the proposed legislation embodied in the Kenyon and Kendrick bills, if enacted, would have a tendency to drive hun dreds of small packing firms out of the field of interstate operations. This would be the preference forced upon them as against operating under a li censing system which would be a con tinued menace of interference. HOW THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SAL§ OF^A^STEER ARE^DIVIDEd/ ^ ^ . # • 66 ►Sv TO 75% To the Stockman Sfockyards Expense Whqiesate Disfribution Retail Di^ibution Who gets the money that you pay the butcher for beef? This interesting diagram will help you to see. It is made up from figures secured by the Fed eral Department of Agriculture who followed a number of groups of steers through the packing plant and through the retail market up to the time the meat was in the hands ot the ultimate consumer. The live animals were bought from the farmer; in addition to the meat there was, of course, the hide, visceral fat and other by-products. These were sold by the packer and this sum added to what the retail market man received for the meat gives the total proceeds. Out of this total amount the farmer received 66 to 75 per cent for the live animals. Three to 4 per cent were required to ship the live animals to market and to feed and care for them in the stock yards before they were slaughtered. The packer received 5 to 6 per cent of the total proceeds, and this covered the cost of slaughtering, refrigerating, shipping In refrigerator cars to the local branch houses, selling to the local butcher, and also profits. Fifteen to 20 per cent was r€>ceived by the butchei, v>hlch comprised his selling cost plus his profits.
