PRICES OF MEAT
The Metropolitan Mar
ket's Schedule.
Little Change Since iSo7-Beef A
vances-Pork Drops-Various
RumorS Settled,

Since the first intimation, some TWO
weeks ago, of a contemplated advance
in meat prices TO consumers by the
Metropolitan Meat Company, the topic
has received considerable attention,
and street rumors, almost as absurd as
any circulated in connection with the
plague, have been heard upon all SIDES.
The general idea is that an all-around
advance has been made in all meats,
and many boarding house keepers are
talking of increased rates to boarders,
while one or two restaurants have al
ready raised meal prices to 35 cents.
That the situation is highly exagger-
ated is shown in the published price list
of the Metropolitan Meat Company,
| which reveals the fact that since Sep
| TENDER, 1897, prices Of all meats except
| beef and pork, have remained I'M
| changed Six months ago, when it was
found necessary to import meat from
abroad, owing to the inability OF local
graziers to meet the demand for a
| rapidly increasing population, loin ana
| porterhouse roasts and steaks were
advanced 3 cents and rib roasts 312
| cents per pound. Last week round
! and Hamburg steaks were also adj
vanced 21h cents, while corned pork
and pork sausages were reduced cents
per pound.
Following is the current price list
of all meats, and should any alteration
be found necessary, owing to the ae-
ton of local graZiers, a circular Will
| acuuaint all consumers of the fact:
