High Beef Prices Until 1927 Says Statistician
Chicago, Dec. 27. A shortage of 1,000,000 cattle in the year just closing will keep beef prices high for at least seven years, says M. F. Horine statistician for the Union Stock Yards in his annual report. He warns the 1919 shortage cannot be made good before 1927 and calls the Agriculture Department's cattle numbers too optimistic. An increase of 377,000 animals received at the yards in 1919 over 1918 is noted, while cattle slaughter declines are recorded by markets in Kansas City, Omaha, St Joseph, St Louis and Sioux City.
