TILE SIMMER EXODUS.


THE SUMMER EXODUS.
We have been having very warm
weather for the past two OF three weeks,
those who are so fortunate
as to be able to leave for cooler resorts
that the time has come for their annual
fight. The cars, steamboats, and
steamships leave with their full COM
plement of passengers, big trunks, and
the famed baud boxes are plentiful,
and those who are in the line of pre-
pairing people for their tours are kept
busy. I was informed by Messrs. Glynn
g. Wintz, dealers in boots and shoes,
No. 9 Camp street, that they had been
busy supplying those who are going
away, several of our best merchants
named by them having purchased
enough to last themselves and families.
until their return. This isas it should
be. encourage home enterprise, and
there is no more worthy firm than
Messrs. Glynn & Wintz. Their goods
are stylish and comfortable, and they
are polite and accommodating i'll their
business transactions. Several pleas
ant showers have varied the monotony
of the warm weather, cooling the air
and encouraging the flowers and fruit
to come out hlxuriantly. The supply
of fruit has been very fair-strawber
ries, plums, pine apples, bananas and
other fruits have been sold at reasona
BILE prices, and the first peaches have
arrived. The subject that veXes the
public mind NEST at present is as to the
SUPPLY OF MEAT.
The Slaughter House Company and
the Benevolent Butchers have got up a
big fight and an injunction sued out by
the former against the latter has cut
down the supply of meat to almost
nothing. The stalls in the markets,
with the exception of seven OF eight
belonging to butchers who kill at the
Slaughter House, have been bare of
meat since last Saturday morning.
The interest of the people in this sub
iect demands that definite settlement
should be arrived at as soon as posi-
BILE. Thinking people care very little
which side wins. The Slaughter House
has the power, if they succeed, to make
a monopoly of the market, and this is
Just what the butchers have done for
years past. At "a public meeting ofthe
butchers last night, one oftheir speak
ers said that if there was no Slaughter
House Company, they could supply
the people with meat at six cents pei
pound, but the question comes uI
"why have you never done it?" You
have been selling meat here, some o.
You, for thirty years, and yet meat was
never heard of at less than 100 12ac
and sometimes IS "a 40c per pound
The fact is the Butchers Association
has been a most grevious monopoly fo
twenty years and it is time it was bro
ken up; the only regret is that relic
comes through another organization
that may also prove to be monopoly
We ought to have good meat at loy
prices, and this struggle between tn
Butchers and Slaughter House Compa
ny is the commencement of what ma.
| in the end bring the desired result. s.
