Trends, the report says. Among the
principal disturbing influences de
markts, high priced feeds, fruition
war department of surplus stocks of
beef in an effort to reduce living
costs, higher stocker and feeder
markets, high priced feeds, fruiaion
of producers’ efforts to increase, labor
troubles, decreased transportation
facilities, embargoes, unsettled for
^,eign credit and exchange conditions,
decrease in beef exports, financial
credit restrictions, declines in prices
of hides, tallow, and other animal by
products and decreased or spasmodic
consumption of meat.
In fact, 'the report says, every pos
sible economic factor incidental to a
* period of reconstruction and capable
of disturbing market conditions for
these products of the farm and range
had free and almost unlimited action.
Prices of livestock in the Chicago
market and those paid for dress car

tations from 10 days to two weeks

year at $18.75 and at the end of June
at $116.50 with the opening top price
on dressed beef from such steers at
$21^|nd the close at $31. On January
2, 1919, live prices for the same grade
were up to $17.75 and at the end of
six months the top prices stood at
