+ all in the Wholesale Price of Beef.
Dressed beef sold in the New York
wholesale market last week for 49, cents
per pound, and then it was predicted that
there would be no reduction for many
weeks to come. The reasons given for
the unusual rise in price were, that prob
ably as many as Is per cent. of the cattle
on the plains were killed by the extraor-
binary bitter weather of the winter of
188Q-8l. These were chiefly the young
er animals, they being the least able to
bear and survive the exposure, and the
loss thus fell among the very class of cat
tie which come into the States in the
fall. 1t was also reported that $50 per
head was paid month ago in Montana
for two-year-olds to be taken upon
ranches where the destruction had been
the most severe That the large immi-
grafton of last year caused a much larger
demand for cattle to stock new farms,
which was further drain upon the
available supply, and that scarcity of
corn in many sections, and its high price
everywhere, has prevented q great many
cattle being fed into killing condition.
There were thus fewer sent to market,
and those that were marketed cost more
to fit them for the hands of the butcher
The increasing demand for the export of
animals and meat was said to be another
cause for the high prices.
/ Last "Wednesday, however, witnessed a
sudden fall in the New York market in
the price Of live cattle and dressed beef,
owing to the unusually large number of
animals which arrived in that city on
that day. The receipts of fresh cattle for
the day at the Sixteenth street yards were
1884 head, while 1917 arrived at Harsh
mus Cove yards making total Of 5,951
head. The whole arrival for the week
ending on Saturday at both yards, was
just II, 242 head, or little more than
twice as many as reached the market
Wednesday. This large shipment was
totally unexpected by the local cattle
dealers.
| The price Of live cattle fell according
to the quality of the animal, from so
cent? to 81 per hundred pounds. net
weight. One statement says that dealers
endeavored to obtain last weeks high
price, 1SA cents per pound, but the price
fell during the afternoon to ~ cents per
pound, and it was acknowledged that
prices would go still lower Friday. The
Journal Of Commerce Cattle Market report
says the tone Of the market was weak and
the rates for common to good sides were
from 10A to lSs cents. II is said that the
fall in the wholesale price will not affect
the retailing meat dealers price to con-
sumers.

Mr.. Editor.-DEAR SIR Since our
last letter TO your valuable paper various
changes for the better have TRANSFERRED:
Let. quite number of dwellings have
been repaired and painted which adds to
the beauty as well as the order of the
place. There have also been some trans
actions in real estate which / always think
looks well when another family or FAM
lilies have their own quiet home, it shows
signs of prosperity.
End and not least among the improve
ments the ladies have been arranging
their flower beds and lawns and were on
" held in check by this present cold
rain storm from finishing their pleasant
labors. Among other things that have
helped to keep our streets in much better
condition than they would otherwise have
been is the labor put upon them by our
worthy overseer o the highways who has
done good job as far as he has gone.
As citizen of the town we hope Joel
will continue in the good work he has so
manfully undertaken and not stop until
all is finished. Another sign of improve
ment is the starting of Building Loan
upon good general and solid principles
and whose officers as far as | can learn
are men of sound Judgment and liberal
ideas; we wish 1t success and hope much
good may come therefrom. So You see
Mr.. Editor although we have been quiet
Is town anil people we have been keep

Ice on the Hudson.
WORK ON THE HUDSON SUsPESpEp-RIvER
HoUsEs Nor FILLED.

The ice-men of the Hudson are again in
auspenst and tribulation all along the line.
Very little has been done since the heavy
rain of last week. The ice became flooded
with water, and the great body of snow on
the surface was converted into slush that was
very difficult to remove. Cold weather alone
could remedy the evil, and that did not ensue
But, instead, il has been growing warmer
ever since. A slight freeze during the night
would sometimes permit few hours work
in the morning, but the sun rendered the ice
soft in the afternoon and nothing could be
done. As near as can be estimated from the
most Trustworthy data received, slightly over
1000, 900 tons have already been housed this
season by the various companies along the
river. To thi. must be added about 500. 600
tons which were left over from last year.
which represents the quantity now in store.
Just how much more NAV yet be secured is
q matter of some doubt. with strong
probability that the quantity will be verv
small. II is now so late in the season that
securing any further supply from the river
must be regarded as a mere chance. At this
point the ice is only from seven to eight inches
thick even now. and this is losing daily under
this temperature. Ice thinner than this il
scarcely ever taken.
MANY of the houses toward Albany are
reported futt, ana tne men nave neen Sent
further down the river. But while nearly all
the houses down this way have portion of a
crop in store. none have vet been filed. The
quality Of the ice stored so far is said to be
inferior to last year on account of the low
tide in the river when il froze up, leaving
much of the ice lying on the bottom mud
The total crop harvested on the river last
year is thought to have been not far short of
5000, 900 tons. If the amount now in store
can be increased to 2.0o0,0 900 tons, it is be-
lieved the demand of next summer can be
fairly met at moderate prices. But the low
prices Of last season canrot be repeated this
year. The lakes and ponds near the line OF
the river have yet pretty coating of ice.
and the companies are now turning their
attention toward them in hope of extending
their supply in store. But this ice will COS,
more to house. as customers will readily be
told by the companies next summer. In fact,
most Of these ponds have been in the hands OF
speculators or middlemen all winter, and they
hold them at fne profit, praying for sun
chine and rain enough to stop operstions in
the river.
