(Spe jciitl) The recent transfer of the Unit ed States from the small list of Beef- exporting countries to the large list 'of beef -importing countries is sharp ; ly illustrated by the August figures of importers and exports of beef and beef cattle and a comparison thereof 1 with tne August figures of earlier years just made by the Bureau . of foreign and domestic commerce of the ! department of commerce. This shows ) that the exports of beef and beef cat j tie have fallen from ,44 million dollars' lvalue in the eight months ended with I August, 1904, to practically 1,000,000 ; in the corresponding months of 1913, and that the imports of cattle mean - time increased from 9,357 in the eight morithse of 1904 to 340,105 in the same period of 1913, and their value from ! $181,145 in' 1904 to $5,031343 in 1913. fAs to beef, the importations in 1904 were insufficient to justify their state- ment month by month, and the total 'value of beef imported for consump tion in the full fiscal year 1904 was ' but $14,922, while the single monttr of j (July, 1913, shot ed a total importa- tion of 642,394 pounds valued at $56, !993; August, a total of 1,151,626 pounds valued at $89,2 D4; and Septem i ber about an equal amount. ;i ' ' 1: Even the value of the comparatively small number of cattle exported is now . less per head than in earlier years, de spite the general advance in prices .meantime.. The average export price of the 18,069 head of cattle in the; S eight months ended with August, 1913, : was $34, agaist an average of $68 for ; the 418,865 head of cattol exported in J the corresponding months o 1904. On ;the import side there is a decrease of about 20 per cent in the valuation per . head, the 340,105 cattle imported in 'the eight months ended with August, j 1913, being valued at , $15 . per - head, compared with $19 per head for the 9,357 cattle imported in the corn 'spending month of 1904. ., The char acter of the cattle imported differs, of course, radically from that of those exported, being mostly, on the export side, grain-fed animals ' ready ' for salughtering, and on the import side, grass-fed cattle in many cases but one or two years of age. Practically all of the cattle imported, other than those for ' breeding purposes, are brought from Mexico, that' country supplied, in the fiscal year, 1913, 391, 477 of. the 420,261 head imported for other than breeding purposes. vOf the 1,388 imported for breeding purposes, free of duty, 945 were from England. Imports of beef show remarkable gains within the very recent period. In the fiscal year, 1904, the quality oj Deer imported lor consumption was 164,509 pounds valued at $14,922, as against 923,378 pounds valued at $61, 110 in the fiscal, year, 1910, and 3,957, 700 pounds valued at $303,934 in 1913; while in the single months of July and August the imports aggregated 642, 394"" pounds and 1,161,625 pounds, 're spectively, and partial returns indicate that the September figures will also approximate one million pounds.
