In the latter schedule particularly the meat
and grocery portion, the prices are extremely
moderate. Meat, bread, sugar and soap, are
all much below the prices paid by the ordi-
nary consumer particularly beef and mutton,
which are respectively furnished for five and
seven cents per pound, while the ordinary
purchaser pays 15 cents per pound for each,
difference on beef of ten cents and on NUT
ton of eight cents. If there Is a profit in
these two commodities at five and seven cents
to to the Government, the gain must be some
thing handsome from the regular buyer.
