ENTERING AMERICAN MARKETS.
Foreign Governments Preparing to IhJjr
Large Army Spplles Here.
Chicago, August 17. The Record says:
Great Britain, Russia and Japan hivsj
entered the markets of the United State
for the purpose of purchasing provision.
. such as canned and salted mi-ata, for us
I In their army and navy. For sn-erai
j weeks a report has been In circulate
among the great packing houses at tie
stock yards to this effect and nor It ia
confirmed.
What BH'.h an order as Wul probably bm
placed by each country will be can only b
estimated from tne amount ordered by
our rovernment during the early part of
the war "between the United States ana
Spain. But it Is safe to say that eacs
foreign power now figuring for tha
purchase of provisions will place an order
for at least five million pounds.
Whether or not the American packers
will be able to secure the full amount 01
the foreign powers' orders, depends apoa
the prices placed by the packers. Already
some of the big packers are preparing to
submit bids for furnishing all or part or
whatever orders may be placed.

Augustln, the transaction grows remark

Augustln would have been a most Impor

The Times does not think the United
States would be satisfied to be bounded
by the horizon, advocated by Mr. Carnegla
In the North American Review, and says:
