ly market more than 1,00,000 head.
Ed. C. Laster. president of that asso
ciation, has started a fight to more
equitably distribute the 00 per cent
profit which, it is alleged, is now realiz
id from the time the beef steers leaves
the hands of the producer until he reach
es the consumer.
it is charged by Lasater that the
greater portion of this enormous profit
goes into .the coffers of the packers.
While the packers are growing richer
and richer and the consumer is paying
more and more for his beef, figures
show that the producers of cattle are
receiving less for their output, beef
steers often selling for less than thn
cost Of production. The movement
launched by Lasaterj and which will be
made nation wide, seeks to know Why
the price of beef goes up when the price
of cattle goes down.
At the conference it was shown that
it costs $21.06 fo raise a yearling steer
on the range, and that by (he time the
steer is of age and in condition for
butchering the avernge cost is $73.09
Lasater recently marketed 279 head and
received an average of $19.21, less than
the actual cost a head for production.
This condition means ruin to cattle pro
ducers. The steer w ich cost the pack
er $54.28 is sold to the consumer at
close to $165 gross. Who gets this 300
per cent addilional is what the produc
ers, as well as consumers, are anxious
to rind out
To fight effectively the great packers
with their millions of dollars of capital,
ti e Texas cattle producers and the con
sumers of beef have lecided on the or
ganization of the Tex is Cattle Raisers'
Sales Directing Asran -y, with a capital
stock of $3,000,000. '1 he principal office
will be in Fort Worth, with branch -offices
in St. Louis and Chicago The pur
pose is to assist the f. -oducer in getting
better prices for his eittle, hog, sheep
and calves and to inat ruct him regard
ing the greater markets.
The Texas Cattle R hers' Association
will subscribe 1 1,500 000 of tha stock.
This amount will be obtained by levy
ing $1 a head on the cattle turned over
to the association. 1 he remainder of
the $0,000,000 will be subscribed by oth
er interests. It will work in the same
manner as the Truck Growers' Astocia-
tionof this state, which haa saved mil
lions of dollars annu.illy to gardeners.
In addition to forming the sale agen
cy, Texas producers will urge the at
torney general of the United States to
become more active in pushing the
cases now pending against the beef
trust. Discussing the fight Ltsater
said; "The cattleman are at the mercy
of the packers in marketing becau e
the packers control the stock yards. If
the selling agency does not produce the
results we anticipated, we will go into
the packing bosiness ourselves. Plenty
of capital can be obtained for that pur
pose. Tha price at which mint it now
old la the same at all the packing
houses, showing conclusively that a
trust eihjU."

or provocations. She could not do so
very well, because the reasons are more
subtle than apparent. Yet reasons ex
ist. In a few words it may be said that
the people of Italy have for years been
quietly invading Tripoli and taking poa
session. When these people met with
annoyances and petty tyrannies the
mother country stepped in.
" Napoleon I. when he took Lombardy
from Sardinia, "generously offered the
pirate infested cost of Barbary in ex
change. Bismark, Napoleon III., and
Palmarston almost begged the Italians
to take it. But Italian statesmen were
too nervous. Crispi refused, add in
connection with the proposal uttered
the famous pharee. "My name is To
morrow." Every foreign minister af
ter Crls pi refused, including Canevaro,
Visconti - Venosta, Prinetti, Tittoni,
Guicciardini, and even on December
2, 1910, the present minister of foreign
affairs, the Marquis di San 'Giuliano, de
clared "Italy wishes that Tripoli shall
reman Turkish.
But private pfople and big moneyed
interests were af work to accomplish
what tbe government had failed to do.
The Banca di Roma, which, as is well
known, is a powerful Vatican financial
concern, stepped into, the branch; and
it is safe to say that four- fifths of the
trade of Tripoli! is now controlled by
that bank. ,
The peaceful penetration accomplish
ed in the past few years by this bank
baa been greatly aided by the Francis
an and Capuchin monks, who, by the
establishment of schools, lycees and (lia
penaaries, have given a position to It
a y in Tiipoli second only to tbe native
Arab t-lement a lilting pretext for a
military occupation. -
Italian is the general language opoken
among Ejropean officials and residents.
Italian newspapers are generally read,
Italian post offices are established at
every port and are used for preference
by the Turkish officials. The Bteamship
services between Europe and the ports
of Tripoli are io the bands of two Ital
ian companies and the coastal service
also. Practically all the hospitals and
dispensaries were established by Ital
ians. The Italian dispensary at Derna
last year treated 27,000 cases, and the
three Turkish dispensaries opened in
opposition are now closed. i
If there is a road to be constructed,
while the manual labor ii. native, tie
engineer id. charge is always Italian.
The greater portion of land in tbe hands
of European telongs to Italians
In the town of Tripoli the Banca di
Yoroa haa founded centrgl office, his
built a flour mill, power "press for tn
partu grass, oil facturies and vast
warehouse. There are eight', schools
and orphan asylums . in the town,
establish d and run by Italian mission
aries, and, 2700 native and European
children are educated yearly almost
free of charge. In every oasis along
the Egyptian and Taniaiao frontier
agent' have been sent to spread the
Italian propaganda. All this has been
accomplished by an Italian colony of
about a thohaaod.

Spinoers Inclined to Buy. South
Holding Back. Chinese Be-
bellion Worst Feature.
; New York, Oct 27th, -Cotton during
the past week has shown at timea un
expected strength for several reasons,
first, there have been frost scares,
which, striking a market rendered sen
sitive by the presence of a large short
Interest, ha caused sharp if temporary
upturns in prices. Also some of the
spinners as prices have approached 9c.
show more disposition to take hold. Tbe
exports have been large. Spot markets
at times have shown a rather more bel
ligerent tone and the South is begin
ning to hold back cotton to a sufficient
extent to excite comment here. Waldorf-Astoria
short-i have nt time cov
ered freely. The greater part of the
short purchases on Wednesday morn
ing, of some 150,000 bales, was put
down on the Waldorf clique, Yarns
have been in somewhat better demand,
the weekly reports of the mercantile
agencies speak of a quickened move
ment in the dry goods trade. ' It is be-
lievt-d that in some quarters the crop is
being over-estimated and the world's
consumption under estimated.
It is also believed that spinners' tak
ings .this year are not un'ikely to run
considerably ahead of the actual con
sumption, owing to the relatively low
prices. Bears, however, are talking of
an ultimate decline to much lower lev
els on the idea that the crop is 15,000,-
000 bales, or more and that the con
sumption and the spinners' takings will
be considerably leis than this figure in
spite of low prices. They are encour
aged io this view by the high record
ginning up to October 18th, as revealed
by the census bureau's ri port i n Oct.
25th, putting it at 7.740,000 bales or
about 2,300,1 00 more than for the same
t me last year, and roughly 1,300,000
more than the previous high record
some years ago.
Moreover, Manchester and Liverpool
have been noticeably depressed by the
growing gravity of the rebellion in Ch--na
and the monetary crisis in Shang
hai. Southern hedge selling has con
tinued on an important scale. Some
important interests, however, in Wall
Street, and the S rath, notably in New
Orleans, are identified with the bull side
and there is a growing conviction that
the receipts do not warrant the ex
treme high crop guesses, while 'ginning
figures are not umversa'ly accepted aa
'a sure indication of the size of the crop.
