the BEEF TRADE.
1t Looks as II Ribs and SIrIoIns
Would Be Higher.

The strike at Chicago is evidently having
its effect In eastern markets. There are four
beef houses in this city-the Portland Beef
Company, John L. Best. Cummings Bros,
and Thomas Dyer. A reporter for the
PRESS made inquiries yesterday of these
firms and ascertained that two of them had
each car load of beef on the way which
left Chicago before the strike The other
two were cramped for a supply, and the in
dications are that beef may be higher before
it lower. One Portland retail provision
dealer, Mr.. Abner T. Smith, went into the
country and bought four oxen to be slaugh-
tered to supply his trade.

taken by the pads. These pads can be pur-
chased all the way from cent apiece up,
and those that few years ago sold for %
cents each now bring but dime. They are
noiselass and much more convenient than
