PRICES GO UP.

The meat men of Barre have again
raised the prices of beef. This is a
necessity as the wholesalers have
raised l! cent per pound on all cuts,
or per carcass. The raise in price is
occasioned by the amount Of cattle
being shipped to England, the Eng
lish market not having supply enough
as cattle from South America are not
allowed to land on account of the dis
ease now prevalent among all South
American bceveS.
Until such time as the English
market stops taking SO much dressed
meat from the United States there
cannot very we'll be lowering of
prices. When they can ship carcases
from the west, all dressed to London
for less money than they can from
the west to the New England states
and receive from II to II cents per
pound for it, and they receive only
eight cents per pound for it here, it
can readily be understood that this
country is gong to be short of meat.
There is a chance now for native
beef as % to p cents per pound for
western beef is like eating up your
money.

THE STREET FAIR.

Burlington, May IA. - The street
fair which is being agitated in this
city is likely to be success for the
merchants are taking an interest in
the affair and responses have been
liberal. The streets have been
looked over with a view of choosing a
suitable place for the holding of the
fair. 1T will necessitate the closing
of about two blocks to the use of teams
but the sidewalks would remain open.
In selecting place it is necessary to
to have it in central portion of the
city and also to have it where it will
cause the least inconvenience to the
occupants of the buildings. Parties
familiar with carrying on street fairs,
similar to the one proposed here, after
making an investigation in company
with merchants of the city, selected
several different locations which
would be suitable for the holding of
the fair.
