REPORT OF THE COMMISSARY GENERAL OF SUBSISTENCE.

OFFICE COMMISSARY GENERAL OF SUBSISTENCE,

Washington City, October 20, 1869.

GENERAL: I have the honor to submit this annual report of the ope rations of the Subsistence Department.

The effort that has been made by this department since the close of the war of the rebellion to obtain its necessary supplies for the subsistence of the army by purchasing them at or near the several points of consumption as possible, has been continually successful to a great and increasing extent, resulting in affording the troops fresh stores, in relieving the Quartermaster's Department from the cost of transportation, in widely distributing the patronage of the government among the whole population of the country, and in affording especial and desired encouragement to the agricultural, stock raising, milling, trading, and other interests of the ever-advancing frontiers of the newer States and Territories. The hope and expectation is entertained that this department will soon be able, by making its purchases at and near the several points of issue, and by transporting its own supplies wherever there exist well-established commercial freighting lines by steamboats and railroads, open to its direct access and use, largely to relieve the Quartermaster's Department fromthe expense of such transportation, perhaps entirely, except where that department possesses public means of transportation, or enters into special contracts for transportation, as is as yet necessary on the great plains of the West.

Notwithstanding the purchase of many supplies at or near the posts occupied by troops, it is still necessary, for the purchase and distribution of groceries and such supplies as are not thus obtainable, to retain purchasing and depot officers of the department on duty at several market and distributing centers of the country, as at New York, Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, Atlanta, New Orleans, Austin, St. Louis, Omaha, San Francisco, Portland, Oregon, &c. The efforts of Brevet Major General M. D. L. Simpson, assistant commissary general of subsistence, chief commissary of subsistence, military division of the Pacific, referred to in my last annual report, to procure from the productions of the Pacific coast the salt meats required for the troops of the military division of the Pacific, have met with eminent success; a large part of the supply of such meats having been obtained by him of excellent quality, and at prices much less than those at which the same articles could have been furnished from the eastern markets. It is confidently expected that hereafter the Subsistence Department will be able to procure in the States of the Pacific coast all the salt meats required for issue therein.

During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1869, there were reported to this office 517 advertisements for supplies, 325 contracts for fresh beef and beef cattle, 22 contracts for complete rations, 102 contracts for miscellaneous articles, and 1,595 contracts, consisting of written proposals and acceptances.

The average price of fresh beef, per contracts made during the fiscal
