People who pay attention to the cattle
markets at Albany, Brighton and Cambridge
must have noticed the decline in the price Of
beef during the past year, yet they probably
failed to find any reduction in their butchers
bills within that period The retail price
throughout New England is still kept to the
old figures" yet We find that at Albany
good cattle are sold from six to seven cents per
pound. This is all wrong for the people, but
probably "all right for the butchers. They

The Pacific railroads have shown a de-
cided disposition to "play it sharp" with the
United States. Not content with their large
land grants, and with getting the government
to indorse over sixty millions dollars worth
Of bonds, with only the security Of a second
mortgage, they have made the government
pay the interest on these bonds and propose
to have it do so in future, though careful to
collect every cent due for service to the gov
eminent The interest paid by the United
States already amounts to sS,SI5,3l5, of
which S2,4l7 1913 has been repaid by the
transportation of the mails, etc But the

amount in cash, whereas he thinks it ought to
be applied on the interest account, aud has
withheld it till the question whether he can
do so legally is decided by the attorney gem

to take up the subject and legisate for the

be paid by the United States to any railroad

The trouble with the broken Atlantic
cables threatens to be more serious than was

the year are but small, Meanwhile the
French cable is entirely inadequate to the
