have been for ten years past, says dis
patch. Even the high prices which were
made by some dealers during the Worlds
Fair period will be exceeded by the figures
asked for roasts. steaks. and chops from
now on. Prices have already advanced
about p per cent. and an additional add
vance of about the same proportion is al
most certain. The cause of this is the

While the prime cause of the advance is
the scarcity of choice beef cattle, all
kinds of meats have gone up partly

market and partly on account of the in
creased demand. All kinds of beef, from
pOrterhouse to hash meat, are being sold
now for from . to ) cents pound higher
than month ago, and pork products Of
all qualities, from pigs feet TO head
cheese. are worth considerably more than
they could be bought for on the first of
the month.
