MEAT AND ICE ADVANCED.
People of New York Getting n Taste
of the Trusts.

OF the TRUSTS.
New York, August 15.-The general COM
mittee of the Greater New York Retail
Butchers association met tonight and de-
cided that an advance of at least cents
per pound in the price of meat was I'M
peratively necessary to protect retailers
against heavy loss from the sharp ad-
vance In wholesale rates. In most retail
stores the advance has already been put
into operation. but the action of the COM
mittee will make 1t universal and no hope
is held out that the increase in price will
be only temporary.
The Consolidated Ice company has in
creased the price of ice to small consumers
from 20 to 80 cents per 100 pounds. 1t is
not unlikely that the price will be still
further increased.
