CAUSED BY COMPETITION
ZACK MULHALL SAYS PACKERS ANXIOUS TO BUY CATTLE

Fort Scott Daily Monitor, 26 Apr 1902


He Predicts that the Prices of Beef will Continue to Go Higher and Higher
Until Grass Fed Cattle are Placed on the Market

St. Louis, Appril 26.-
Zack Mulhall, live stock agent for the 'Frisco system, says there is no meat trust, but that competition among the packers for live stock causes the high prices.

Cattle are scarce, he says, and expensive to feed. The shortness amounts to 150,000 head for the year. Mulhall maintains that the packers, who usually have 8.000 or 10,000 cattle hanging in their refrigerator rooms are now entirely cleaned out, and that the packing house buyers screamble for offerings and pay high prices to get them. He predicts that the price of beef will go still higher until grass fed cattle begin to come in in June.
