MEAT SHORTAGE
LOOMS IN VIEW
Packers Say Rail Strike Is
Forcing Famine.
CHICAGO, April 10. Meat shortage in
large consuming centers was predicted
tod-iy In Armour A Co.'s weekly review.
"The Hwltclimon'fi strike las practically
stopped receipts of live stock at the
Chicago stock yards,” it said. "The few
carloads coming in are absorbed by lo
cal butchers."
Branch houses, it was said, have am
ple stocks of provisions to take cure of
the business and so far there has been
no shortage anywhere in pork products.
"The beef business has been seriously
curtailed by the strike,” the review said.
"No cars have been loaded this week at
the Chicago plant.
"An improvement in the shipping sit
uation must take place if a serious
shortage of fresh beef in largo consum
ing centers is to be prevented.”
Today’s Market Gossip
Unfilled tonnage of the United States
Steel Corporation on March 31 was 9,-
892,075, against 9,502,081 on Feb. 2*5, It
was announced today. This is an increase
of 389,994.
Grain comment by early wire from Chi
cago says: "Premiums for cash corn
remain a factor. Market also influenced
by the very strong situation in cash oats
and urgent foreign demand for rye and
wheat and low condition of winter wheat.
Complete paralysis of transportation is
an item of strength, owing to absence of
accumulations nt commercial centers.
Mny oats will be-oine a cash article in
three weeks. July. 18 cents under cash,
seeding delayed threatens to make July
an old crop month. Believe the short
interest will be forced to cover at ma
terially higher figures, particularly in
May."

Today’s Markets in Review
By Special sVlre, Thomson A McKinnon.
Stocks—Bullish sentiment which has
been so pronounced In the stock market
recently wus modifies! to some extent
during the early part of today’s ses
sion. The news published tills morning
of the extent ot the railroad strike was
the cause, but later in the day infor.
matlon reached market centers that con
ditions were somewhat better in Chicago.
This gave traders a little more, confi
dence. There was practically no con
sideration given to tiie subject of bank
ing, as no financing wus required to
day. The main bullish iutiuence at
this time is the prospect of further stock
dividends. It is a subject that Is up
permost In the minds or traders. Thera
can b but little doubt that the ptiblb
will bo satisfied in this respect and
many of our corporations will no doubt.
In due time increase their capitaliza
tion by Issuing more shares. Cominer-.
dally the country is still as busy as
can be, and it no labor troubles de
velop to check the present activity, s
further period of profitable busln-ss
may be anticipated. From a strictly
market standpoint, however, there ara
other subjects to be taken into ■•o>>.
slderntlon—mnlnly that of the market’s
tecniilcal potation, and this e. m ist be
apparent to all, lias undergone n con
siderable change during the last, month.
This is not of Itself justification for a
bearish position, but must be given im
portant consideration, ns a bearish situ
ation might develop, and In tii.it even*
the technical position of the market
becomes of first importance.
Corn—An advance of 0 to 7 cents in
export bids for wheat together with
higher prices for cash wheat in north
western markets have hud something
to do with the action of corn. There
Is a general feeling that settlement of
the strike will release enough corn now
on side tracks to case the cash market.
On the other hand cash prices today
were 2 cents higher. Between these two
footers the market is unsettled and er
ratic with considerable conservatism dis
played by everybody. Some of the local
industries are compelled to cease opera
tions being unable to ship manufactured
products. The important thing at the
moment of course Is the cash market.
Transportation and sentiment of the pro
ducer are against any burdensome move
ment. ' From this it can be argued that
the deferred deliveries will have an un
dercurrent of strength.
Oats—There has been considerable
scattered realizing In oats with offerings
being taken by Influential interests. The
market is therefore In position to readily
respond to a continuance of the advance
in cash oats. We remain of the idea that
the deferred deliveries will be compelled
to recognize premiums for daily receipts,
th° small and decreasing visible, also
the lateuesß of seeding of the new
crop.
Provisions —New business at the stock
yards has come to a standstill owing to
the strike. Strength In graius prompted
a little short covering. Trade been light
with the underlying situation still favor
ing lower prices.

The strike of railroad switchmen
paralyzed the live stock market.
Few sales were made to local butchers
at 25@50c lower than Friday, but there
was no activity for the bulk of stuff.
Local packers were unable to enter the
market with nny assurance of getting
their hogs switched to killing plants, they
explained, and bid sharply lower.
Buyers offered to sell on a schedule
25c lower, but would not accept prices
as set by packers.
Hogs were held over finally.
Order buyers for outside points de
serted the market, ns embargo on ship
ments left them with no outlet.
For the week hogs are generally 50c
higher, with the best lights only 25@40c
higher.
Sows are about steady with a week
ago and pigs are good 50c higher. Twice
during the week prices topped the sl7
mark for fancy light hogs, while there
has not been u day until today that sl7
was not paid.
Tuesday some hogs sokl at $17.25, and
Wednesday's bunch cleared at $17.15.
Cattle.
Receipts, 250; nominal market.
Cattle were lilt as well as hogs by tlie
strike conditions and aside from small
liuneli bought by one of the local packers
no sales were recorded.
Order buyers wore not, in evidence and
the larger local packers deserted the
market entirely.
For the week, light cattle, steers and
heifers under 900 pounds are generally
considered steady.
Cattle weighing 900 to 1,000 pounds are
about 25c lower and heavy stuff from
1.100 pouqds up is 500J75C lower.
Butcher and bologna bulls are steady
with week ago, but the heavy bulls
nr*- dnii and draggy tending lower.
There has not b‘.**n enough cows and
heifers generally to go around during
the week and this class of cattle ruled
higher up until Friday, when the tight
ening embargo put order buyers at a
disadvantage and local packers were nM<*
to break prices to a level with the first
of the week.
The same was true of heavy steers,
which the forepart of the week were In
demand and s*dltng higher, but later
were neglected and suffered a sharp
slump.
Generally the mark'd on good light
stuff, cows, heifers and steers Is steady
for the week, medium cattle are 25c
lower and heavy cattle 50%75c lower.
Calves.
Receipt*. 250; market, $1 lower.
There were enough orders for the light
run of calves on hand, but buyers were
not willing to pay the siine prices and
the market ruled about $1 lower.
Chub e veal.l sold nt $1*1; good, sls'ft.

For the week the choice venls are about

Sliecp.
Receipts, 50; no market.
Small run of sheep on band was not
enough to create a market.
Tiie receipts of sheep and iambs this
week were unusually light. The best
native lambs have been selling from
$17*3.18, and the good to choice western
fed lambs ore quoted at tUQIf).
There have been but very few of this
kind on the market this week
A few head of choice spring lambs sold
this week nt $23 per cwl.
