The war among the jobbers OF dressed meats
goes merrily on and the prospects are that an
other cut Will be made in the price of dressed
teef thu FIRST OF the eomin week
NO inrther developments were reported in the
hour war yesterday, but both sides are watch
leg Tor the other 10 maze move. 1t Is not
night OF the jobbers, however, but OF the mills,
ana the consumer reaps the benefit
The cured meat market continues steady at
former quotations, but il Is only a question of
time how long they will b, maintained The
recent break IN high prices was caused by the
Eastern farmers rushing their hogs into market
While the prices were Up SO high, and those who
were so situated that they could do this were
very fortunate, for it is DOUBTFUL If prices Will
reach as high point again in long time.
The feature OF the retail trade the past week
has been the fight among the retail butchers.
The fight was inspired by the jobbers, who are
also doing retail business. They jumped In
and made cut Then some of the retail deal
ers proper made cut, while others made a
greater cut The result was a fight between the
retailers, and it looks as though some of them
will be exterminated before peace is restored.
fhe result at present IS that there is really no
market on any kind OF dressed meats, prices
ranging from former quotations down TO almost
nothing The quotations given below are the
best evidence obtainable OF the condition OF
the market
The grocery and provision market Is steady,
but fruits and vegetables are a little cheaper.
