CHEAP BEEF.-The United States Govern

Atlantic cities in the matter OF beet. The latter
have TO pay on the average twenty five cents
pound for that article Of food, but the Gov
ernment the other day made a contract for a
year for the supply of the military department
OF Washington at eleven cents and seven
eights per pound, and at the same time secured
a contract for mutton at eleven cents and a half
per pound. We take it for granted that the
contractors are confident that they can fulfil
their obligations and make money. If thai Is
so, at what per centage may we estimate the
profits on meats at the present market prices
