PLENTY OF MEAT IN MARKET.
The Wholesale Dealers Not at JAN Incon-
venienoed BY the strike.

venienoed BY the strike.
The fears entertained by many that
the strike will result in a scarcity Of
meat in this city, appear to be un-
founded. There is good stock Of both
western and home slaughtered beef, and
dealers apprehend no trouble in replen-
ishing It as fast as there Is need.
At Schwarzchild s. Sulzberger Besf
Co. 8 refrigerator the reporter of the
EVENING JOURNAL was assured that
they had not been at any time crampsd,
nor did they anticipate any scarcity.
The msjor part of their beef comes from
Kansas City, and at present their cooler
is full. Should q contingency arise,
New York, the Carolinas and Virginia
have ample means for filling the market,
for time at least,
The Armour g. Co. refrigerator is well
supplied with beef, and while at one
time it looked as though it would be a
trihe short on orders, no fears are now
entertained. The greater portion of the
stock now received comes from Kansas
City.
The Wilmington Beef Co., acting as
agents for Swift & Co., Chicago, has ex.
perienced but little difficulty in filling
orders aud predicted that in few days
all danger of a shortage in the beef
supply would nave entirely disappeared,
At the absttoir the strike has doomed
business and there has been fully fifty
per cent increase in the number of cattle
slaughtered,
