WORLD WIVE BUOmOE OF HIDES.
Measure. Taken by Argentina, to Increase
Supply ot Cattle.
The prominent factor In keeping hide
values high and advancing In practically all
of the prominent world's markets Is the
shortage existing of livestock In about all
cattle-ralslng countries, and during the last
two or three years the Argentine Republic,
which has been never-falling source of
supply of hides, etc.. has lately shown
material decrease In the slaughter of cattle,
etc.. and consequently Just so much lessen
ing In bide shipments.
The rangers are probably raising as much
- f iim.r Tears, but the de-
HOCK uwa - " -
jr. and for meats has increased so materially
that the Argentine government, realising
what may soon take place unless radical
measures are adopted, has passed laws to
prevent the extinction of cattle by making
It unlawful for the packing-houses of that
country to slaughter heifers under six years
old. as well as all calves. The result ot this
legislation was naturally quickly felt and
., vlll alone will be fully 600.000
head leas up to November 1 than for the
.corresponding period a year ago.
v., ..-.ii- with the larrest cattle-produc
Ing country showing such a shortage as
this In one killing Industry alone, tne ef
fect upon the hide market has been pro
nounced, and despite the fact that It is
now the long-haired Winter season for Ar
gentine hides, prices are holding very firm
as compared with the rstes secured for
Summer stock last January.

Total Cereal Production Decreased.
WASHINGTON. Dec 18. The Department
of Agriculture today estimated the total
production of all cereals this year would be
111. 484.000 tons, or 30.1 per cent less than
last year, 1.4 per cent mere than 1911, and
g.s per cent less than 1110.
- It estimates the nurqber of stock hogs
In the country September 1 about the same
as a year ago, and their condition as sl
snr can e4 4Ue ten-year average.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10. Stocks moved up
ward today with Union Pacific in the fore
front. It was largely around this leader
that the market revolved. Although sev
eral Influences contributed to the strength of
the list, the advance in Union Pacific, which
for a time approached the spectacular, was
the chief agent in focusing speculative,
activity on the long side. The rise In that
stock of four points, although equalled by
some of the minor Issues, was much In
excess of the gains achieved by the other
active shares. It was the direct outcome of
reports that a cash bonus would be distrib
uted to Union Pacifio stockholders.
Since the sale by Union Pacific of Its
holdings of Southern Pacific, various unof
ficial reporta have been circulated In the
street ss to the probable disposition of the
The rumor that a cash distribu
tion would be ordered was repeated today.
R, s. Lovett, executive head ot the road,
deollned either to confirm or deny the re
port. The buoyant movement In Union Pacific
Influenced the rest of the list, which turned
strong after an Irregular opening. Bullish
operations were facilitated by the passage
by the Senate of the tariff bill and publi
cation of the Government's crop report yes
terday, which virtually put an end to un
certainty regarding these factors.
The decrease of 175,000 tons reported in
the monthly statement of United States
Steel, while showing another falling off, was
interpreted as a favorable development, ai
least negatively, for a considerable larger
shrinkage bad been predictea.
Bonus were Irregular with narrow changes.
