A MEAT SCARCITY.

great scarcity of fresh meat in the mar
ket has been one Of the results of the pro-
longed storm, and the stock Of live cattle
has been so generally reduced that the
prospect OF serious eurtailment in consump-
ton and material advance Ia prices are
being seriously considered.
For daily consumption this market re-
quires 500 cattle, 1900 sheep and go hogs,
and is largely dependent for this supply on
daily receipts. Already some of the saught-
erers In Butchertown have been compelled
to shut down their slaughter-houses in con-
sequence of the dearth of livestock, and
the available supply of cattle, sheep and
hogs in this and adjacent markets has been
so reduced that many others must cease
killing unless supplies increase.
Reports from the interior points OF ship
ment indicate a serious state OF affairs The
wagon-roads are all but impossible, while
the condition of rail transportation is sup
posed TO be, in the absence of definite In
formation, not much better. In Nevada a
gigantic storm of sleet and snow has been
prevailing. while the tremendous rainfall

consequent upon the expected short sup
plies. All depends upcn an Immediate

can be said Of his performance Of king

actor has aroused certain degree of pro-
test.

in which the writer declares that the indis-
crlmiDate praise lavished upon Mr.. Henry
Irving's 'Kiig Lear" Is calculated TO 90
enormous harm 10 the best interests of the
stage. He acknowledges that Mr.. Irving
has rendered great service 20 the drama.

senses. l undertake to say that there was
not single fairly educated person at the
Lyeeum Theaier on the night Of the pro-
duction Of King Lear who was not panied
and distressed at Mr.. lrying's unaccounta-
bic tricks of enunciation and his restless
repetition Of certain violently extravagant
movements and gestures without signifi-
canoe. These faults have steadily grown
upon him. For this / hold that too indul-
