Meats Advancing in rhiIadeIphIa.

PHILADELPHIA, July 3-Philadelphia is
threatened with a meat famine. 1t is stated
by shippers and wholesalers that if the
present blockade of freight on Western lines
continues prices of meat will be sky-high,
with the supply practically exhausted. The
ruling price for cattle at the slaughter
house is now S$4 cents a pound, while a
week ago they sold for 5la cents. Prime
cuts, worth Is cents last week, now sell for
10. with prospect of an immediate advance.
Veal and mutton are advancing, but not
as rapidly as beef, although the former has
jumped from 9 to Il cents a pound. There
is not much of stir in mutton, but ii will
be a cent pound higher tomorrow. Pork
and hams are booming, having moved from
1912 to 12l2 and 1S cents, with the supply

New York Almost Beefess.

of forty ears containing seven hundred
cattle, which left Chicago Friday, was

ipate a possible extension of the strike.
Not a beeve is en- route from Chicago

great source of beef supply for all the

price of beef was felt in the local mar
kets to-day. Dealers had TO pay 10 and

carcasses brought from 10 to IL cents.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
Views of Man Who Doesn't Believe
i'm Fencing i'm the City.


The returns of railroad track laid in 1894
up to July 1 show an aggregate OF only
495 miles, yet that this mileage has been
built is a surprise when the business con-
ditions are considered. This is the lowest
six months construction record reported for
twelve years and falls $50 miles below the
construction of the first half of 1893. Dur
ing 1898 construction on all railroads in the
United States was represented by 2,5S5
miles, as against 1000 miles in 1892 The
year 1887 proved to be the great period in
railway construction in this country. Its
record was never approached before, and
probably never will be again. During that
year the railroads of the United States
constructed 1880 miles of main line, which
was 5000 miles more than in any previous
year in railroad history. From 1887 to the
present time there has been a steady de-
crease in railroad construction, and the men
who furnish money TO build roads are now
discouraged over the future of railroads
that 1t will be some time, say those we'll
informed, before they Will place large sums
of money in the building OF new roads.
Had the business men of this city the
public spirit" said one Of our most active
business men. that they had few years
months have three new roads, and not have
to pay subsidies for them, either, simply
by giving them the right of way to the
Union tracks and a few words of encour-
agem ent. To-day there are not half dozen
men fighting the entrance of the Indianap-
oils, LoganspOrt & Chicago, and they are
doing it simply because they fear it would
injure the value of some little piece of
property they may have west of Missouri
street when it would really be a benefit
| TO the west part Of the city; but there al
ways were men in Indianapolis who would
rather the town be fenced in if some little
piece of property they had might lose
little of It's value. They never stop to think
that railroads have given them the wealth
they now possess. Discouraging this project
! and probably defeating the building of the
Logansport road also discourages the men
who are behind the ROckport and the Bed
ford railway projects. both enterprises sim

PRICES ARE BOOMING
SOME OF THE EFFECTS OF THE
GREAT RAILWAY STRIKE.
Perishable Provisions and lee In
creasing in Cost and Factories
Closing for Lack of Fuel.

CHICAGO, July 3.-As result Of the
strike the price of provisions is advancing
very rapidly, and the hotels, restaurants
and private families are feeling it very
keenly. Fruit, ice and all kinds of perish
able provisions are commanding very high
prices, and, indeed, are now regarded
luxury. The coal famine is becoming seri-
Gus, and a number of factories have been
compelled to shut down. A number of
breweries ceased operations to-day. For the
first time in the history of Chicago not a
single carload of live stock arrived at the
Union Stockyards by railroad, while the
shipment of dressed meats is practically at
an end. Vigorous efforts are being made
to involve the intramural trains in the
trouble, and it is claimed that the ele-
waited roads and street-car lines may cease
operation. A number of them are using
anthracite coal at great expense, but even
this is growing, scarce, and the president
be compelled to stop for lack of fuel. The
same is true of the electric lines reaching
to the suburbs.
Tonight it was found that there is but
one days supply of ice in Chicago. An ice
famine is imminent. and is the most ser-
railroads; more serious even than the
threatened famine in fruits, vegetables,
butter, eggs and similar goods. Unless
there is a let-up tomorrow night will find
no ice for any purpose in this city. We
have. twenty-five or thirty carloads of ice
melting on the railroad tracks," said the
manager for James p. Smith & Co. to-day.
simply because the railroads cannot bring
the cars into the city Every business
house that uses ice, as well as every home,
is threatened with total deprivation by to-
morrow night. There has been no advance
in price to the consumer, nor will there
be; it is simply a question of getting the
ice at all to deliver. We have been in bust
ness here over forty years; been through
fire storms, bank failures and panics, but
never experienced such a time as this, af-
fecting every man, woman and child in the
city. the sick in hospitals and in their
homes"
The strike felt in the milk trade to-
day for the first time 10 any serious eX-
tent. The receipts of milk were decreased
one-fifth The Northwestern road failed to
move its big milk train into Chicago this
morning. Similar failures the part of
other roads were reported with conse-
quence that there was a shortage of three
thousand cans in the daily supply. To-day
the shortage felt in the business dis
trict among the restaurants and hotels. If
to-morrow's trains fail to arrive the trouble
will extend TO the residence districts, and
families and little children will feel it.

h" 1T WILL BECOME LAW. >

Such is the comment of the press
generally on the Bland Seigniorage
coinage bill. All admit that Cleveland
would like to veto the bill, but dares
not antagonize his party to that extent,
fearing the defeat OF his tariff bill in
the event of vetoing the coinage bill.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
Broadly speaking. the bill do two
things; first, com all the bar silver now
piled up in the treasury vaults. and
second, it will retire the treasury notes
issued in payment for that bar silver,
giving in exchange silver certificates
precisely like those issued and circulat
ed so widely under the act of 1878.
Neither of these two things will be done
in the twinkling of an eye, as the enc
mics of the bill would have us suppose.
1t will take years to coin all that i'm
mense quantity of bullion, and the lie
tirement of those notes NAV be still
more gradual and long drawn out. Ii
is only question of time when the sill
yer will be put TO its legitimate use, the
only use, in fact, the government has
for silver. 1t does not use an ounce in
the mechanic arts or for any other pur-
pose than TO make coins, full legal ten
der or subsidiary. All the minis have
to do is to keep right on grinding and
every kernel of the grist will be ground.
But the treasury notes may be hoard
ed. We shall not be surprised if the
banker of New York clutch them with
the miser grasp of gold. Indeed they
have done SO from the first. Those
notes are not in real circulation. They
have been seized aud retained in New
York city. These are used as kind of
gold certificate in international trade.
If gold were needed for export those
notes were taken over to the sub-treas-
ury to be redeemed. II the bill become
law they can be used that way just
once more, and that is all, instead of
over and over again indefinitely as now.
The truth is that the passage of this
bill is the severest blow yet dealt to the
makeshifts resorted to by the single
goldites to prevent genuine bimetal-
lism as intended by the act of 1873.
Whether it will actually accomplish
that object or not time can only tell.
1t is well that the effort is to be made.
No international bimetallic movement
can succeed until Europe is convinced
that this country is really and perma-
nently committed to the double stand
ard. Both political parties have always
protested it, but their sincerity has
been suspected, and reasonably SO too.
