cts. has to be paid for it, This high price is not
owing really to scarcity of beef cattle but to the
fact that spectators have purchased up the stock
and now command the market. few years since
similar spirit OF speculation prevailed, and the
article of beef became costly as to be entirely
beyond the means of the great mass of the people
1t would be a wise procedure on the part of our
citizens to refuse to purchase beef in the markets.
