OF MEATS IS HIGHER - ' ' ' ' One Cause, Says a Report to the Government, is the Greatly Decreased Receipt of Stock. The following- Associated Press Dispatch has been sent out from Washington, D. C. This dispatch will be of especial in ! terest to our farmer readers, as it states that the cause of the high L price of meats is due to a shortage in supply, of meat producing animals, The suggestion ought to present it d&f to the farmers to raise more hogs. One contributing cause to the high price of meats, according to a report of the Department of Commerce and Labor issued today, is the fact that live stock receipts for the year 1909 at seven leading interior markets of the United States were the lowest since 1904. The total live stock receipts forvthe last year in these markets aggregat ed ?9,645,725 head. The receipts of hogs for the last year fell off partic ularly. For each of the four years previous to 1909 the hog receipts had been in excess of 19,000,000 head, to taling more than 20,000,000 in 1908, falling to 10,834,641 last year. Cattle recepts in t'r.eM' marets for 1909, which was 9,189,312 while com paring favorably with the receipts of the previous year, fell below the to tals for the three years before 1908 Sheep receipts fell below those in 1905 to 1907 but compared favorably with 1908. The receipts of hogs at the Chica go market for 1909 show a decrease of 1,627,074 as compared with the year before, or a decline of 19 per cent, the receipts at Omaha being 12 per cent; at St. Joseph, Mo., 28 per cent, while the decline at St. ouis was only 4 per cent . While the total number of cattle receipts at these seven principal j markets was larger than the year be-j tore, fell be'ow the t.u e million mark for the first time since 1902, consti tuting less than 32 per cent of the totaol receipts for the seven primary markets as contrasted with 36 per cent, the average proportion for the preceefling five years . The annual aggregate shipment of packing house products from tThhica- go, 2,151,6663,713 pounds were be- ow those reported for any of the previous five years, says the report.
