Provision Prices Advanced.

There has been q general advance In
prices all along the line of provisions, but
not SO material as to affect the consumer
very seriously. In many instances, as in
tho case Of fresh meats, the consumers
price has remained unchanged.
With regard to the advance III beef, it Is
asserted that OH the first day of May, 1897,
there were 100000 fewer head Of live
cattle In tho far West than ut tho same
tina ID 1896 and that fact alone has ad.
vauced tho price 81 per hundred for beef

sl30 per hundred pounds for the dressed
meat,
Pork has advanced in sympathy with
beef and besides, owing to the cool sum-
mer, the demand for it has continued good.
There has been no advance in mutton CT
season.
In local wholesale provision circles no
credenco whatever Is given to the story
from California that the "big four Ar
mour, Morris, Swift and Cudahy-are
buying up lambs, calves and cattle in
large numbers and shipping them East TO
fattcn. 1t Is claimed that fully twenty
different shippers send meat into Phil
adclptia and that competition in tho
wholesale meat business is entirely too
active for tho "big four" to effect corner
on that staple, and in that connection it
was stated that beef is selling in Philadel.
phia cheaper than in New York or Boston.
1t was also ascertained that thoro is bet.

present increase of $l.50 per barrol, at
which figure it is believed prices will be
maintained for some weeks.
There has been decided advance in tho
prices of canned goods. In the case OF corn
and tomatoes, the higher price is attributed
to shortage in the crop, while in the mat.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-The defense In the
trial of Adolph Luetgert for wife mur-
der were surprised by move of the
state yesterday. What is considered to
be one of the strongest pieces Of evil
dence in the trial was introduced. Mrs.
Christine Feldt, Luetgert's one time
sweetheart, was called to the stand by
the state for the third time. Assistant
State Attorney McEwan handed her
pocket knife, the blades Of which were
stained and rusted, and asked her If
she had ever seen 1t before. She testi-
fled that the sausage maker had given
her this knife for safe keeping on the
day of his arrest. The prosecution as
serts that it was with this knife Luet-
CERT murdered his wife before placing
her body in the boiling potash where it
was dissolved. Luetgert admits that
the knife Is his property.
