AMERICAN BEEF ABROAD.
The English Complain Of Inroeds Made by
American shippers.

LONDON. Jan. 9.-rThe meeting last
evening OF the meat and cattle section o.
the London Chamber OF Commerce IN
Memorial Hall has served to bring out
storm of Jealous abuse in regard 10
American meat and American business
methods The Daily Telegraphs state
tnent that the American beef irSs ar
ter half running British husbandry,. now
coolly propose 10 take an additional mn,
lion from British traders and consumers
is repeated on all sides. $780,.
In an interview with Chairman cooper
of the cattle trade section of the London
Chamber of Commerce, he Is guoted as
SAYING: IF il was merely question OF
no abatement there is no DOUBT that the
retailers would have accepted the sltua-
ton, But ii is viewed by many as marx
ing the beginning of a series Of other
cncroachments on trade. The Americans
20 so far as Ia say that not only shall
the salesman be deprived or the pOuHu
and a quarter allowance in every quarter
of meat. hitherto allowed in order to
cOn.f ensate Tor the loss by snfinkaSe IN
transit and in cutting Up, but ne must
not make such an allowance 10 his GUS
toners This is only the first step To-
wards obtaining control of the market,
and. when ii suits their fancy, to corner
trade.
The reason the Americans have OBJ
tanned such hold on the English market
Is that they have Gent meat to IL per
fectly regardless OF the price at which
it was sold. This was merely 70 create
a demand But in 50 doing they have
practically forced their meat upon the
market and, what is more. they nave
forced English meat clean out OF II.
There are only two sources of meat
supply available for the London market.
excluding of course. the frozen stuff. One
is America and the other Is Scotland
England itself is not in II at all. The
American importers have their principal
centres at Liverpool and at Deptford. near
London. where their stock IS landed and
slaughtered.
What they are aiming at undoubtedly
is to drive everyone out OF the trade II
they can possibly do So in order to create
q monopoly. They regulate not only the
Wholesale but the retail prices n
America. At one time they fairly cor
nered trade i'm New York. To overcome
this the Legislature was compelled to In
trOduce "A bill TO the effect that all meat
sold in New York State must be killed In
it,"
Referring to the cost of meat Mr. Coop
~ said
THE American has to pay nearly as
much for the carriage OF meat as the Eng
lishman II costs less TO bring ton OF
beef from New York to London than II
does 80 bring the same quantity from
Aberdeen to London. The native pro.
Queer is not placed on anything like
fair footing. and the American capitalists
realizing this. are making every effort TO
control the English market. We how
ever. feel that they ought not 20 b" al
lowed To do so without a great struggle.
( maintain that if the trade here sticks
together they can bring the American i'm
norters 10 the old terms, because their
meats must be sold

One OF tho most stubborn fires that has
visited Richmond in long time broke
out about ::ls O'Clock this morning IN
the rear OF the Wholesale grocery estab-
Iishmcrt OF Nessrs. j. u. e. II. :.
Christian. The store Ia located near the
centre OF the block bounded by Four
tcenth and Fifteenth streets and cary
and Deck streets.
The fire was first discovered by the
man Who runs the switch engine in the
Southern Railway yards, close by. III
had evidently been burning for some
time before II was discovered. but no
light could be seen. the fire was smut
In by the brick walls.
The alarm was turned in from Box ~,
corner OF Fourteenth and Cary streets
and was quickly followed by the s-xcS.
Every engine In the city responded, but
getting AT the fire was a work Of great
diligently, as no entrance could be ef-
fected % the house.
The windows were bound and bolted
from within and II required repeated
efforts on the part of the flremc1 10
break through. The whole interior OF
the back OF the building was mass of
flames. and the smoke gushed forth from
the openings made by the firernen in such
volumes that they could scarcely see
how 10 direct the hose.
The front door 10 the establishment OF
Robert f. Williams Il Co. wholesale gro

a hose was carried up through that store
10 the upper floor. from which point the
firemen could play upon the flames.

and the nremen were enabled = play on
them with some effect from the roof OF

across the alley.
At 4.f5 o'clock Chief Fuller said ne
thought they would be able to confne
the fire 10 the building OF the Messrs.

ta.nly. The chief pronounced ii the
worst fire to deal with in his experience
No members Of the firm were on the

20 say that up TO the time of going TO
press the damage would amount 10 about
$1,000. The building Is said TO have
been stored with groceries Of various
kinds.
