MATION NEEDS MUHE CATTLE.
Demand For Moat Shown by Big
Changes In Export Figures.
Washington. — Thu dee run no In tbo
neat supply available for exportation
s Illustrated sharply by the February
•sport figures. Just complied by the
•tatlstlcal division of the bureau of
itreigu and domestic commerce. They
Imw the number of cattle exported in
lie eight months ended with lust
month as 12,05(1 head against 270,‘Jib
head in the corresponding months or
itioT and the quantity of fresh beef ex
torted as <1.700,0-17 pounds against 175,*
-1 id.010 pounds in the same mouths.
That this shortage In the exportations
s due in part at least to an actual re-
htetion in the number of cattle In the
United States Is evidenced by the fact
that the total number of cattle on
farms, according to figures of the de
partment of agriculture, on Jan. 1 last
was only 511,527,000 against 72.5Z-J.000
on .l;ru. 1. 1007.
Still another evidence of the demand
in the Lulled States for an increase in
its cattle supply is found in the ligures
of the department of commerce, which
show an enormous increase in tb£ im
portation of cattle, the number import
ed into tit? United States in the eight
months ended with Inst month being
222.000 head against 12.513 head in the
corresponding months of 1007.
The table which follows shows for
the years 1007 and 1013 the number
and value of cattle on farms in the
United States, of those imported, of
