PRICE OF MEATS RAISED.


Chicago, Nov. 10.--A flat increase of
one cent pound was put upon beef,
pork and mutton yesterday by Chi
cago packers, the Chronicle says: In
one year t.e additional cent will
yield to the Chicago packers, basing
the estimate upon last years bust
ness the following sums: Dressed
beef $l5,0O0000; dressed pork and
pork products, $20,0OO,0OO; mutton,
$4,00O,000. Total addition to incomes,
$30,00O,000. Retailers of meats were
thrown into panic by the unex-
pected rise in prices. Many who had
carcasses In their coolers declined to
buy until they could figure out what
they would need at the new rate.
The advance by the packers is more
than ten per cent. on the price of
meat the day before election. The
advance by the retailer to the con-
sumer will average 25 per cent, for
the waste in a carcass doubles the
increased cost of the salable portion.
The packers claim they have been
selling dressed meats at q loss for
several years. In six months the
price Of meat stuffs has gone up $3.50
per 100 pounds. There has been no
corresponding advance in the price
of cattle, hogs and sheep.
representatives of the packers in
charge of the dressed meat depart
ment' say the advance was justified by
the condition of the trade and its i'm
position on the heels of the election
is but a coincidence.

PEARY'S POLAR EXPEDITION.
Evelyn Baldwin, Of the Arctic Expsdition
Which Is to Start In 1901, Commeuts
upon the Windward's Ab.ence.

Boston, Nov. 1O.-Mr. Evelyn Bald
win, head of the Baldwin-Zeigler po-
lar expedition, which is to start in
1901, who was in this city yesterday
on his way to Nova Scotia, was shown
the dispatch from Edinburgh relating
to the return OF the Scotch whaler
Eclipse TO Dundee with members of
the Stein expedition to Ellsmere land.
In commenting upon the report, the
authenticity of which he does not
doubt, Mr.. Baldwin said that if it
were true that Lieut.. Peary did not
get under way from the headquarters
at Etah until last August, it would
seem to show that again he had been
hampered in his efforts to reach Port
Conger in time to make dash for
the pole early last spring. at will be
recalled Mr.. Baldwin said, "that Mr..
Peary, when last heard from in the
fall of 1899, had stated his determine
ton to pass the winter of 1s9S-99 at
Etah and to make an early start in
the spring of 1899 to Port Conger,
from which point he expected to make
an effort to reach the pole and re-
turn in the course of spring and sum
mer of the present year. That he
has been unable to accomplish this is
apparent. If no mistake has been
made with regard to his passing Pym
island last August, and in the event
of his having reached Port Conger
this fall, it is likely that he would not
endeavor to reach the pole this year,
but would remain during the coming
winter at Port Conger and make the
effort in the spring and summer of
1901. If this supposition is correct
the continued absence of the Wind
ward is explained, as in the case of
Mr. Peary's failure to accomplish his
work during the past year, the Wind
ward was to remain north during the
coming winter"

TRADE REVIEW.
Unchanged, Corn Frsct,onally Higher
and Hug Products Weak.

New York, Nov. 10.-Bradstreet's
says: There is a stronger tone in
cotton and wool, the former largely
because of reports or fears of crop
damage, while the latter is firm at
former quotations on a volume OF
business equal to lately enlarged to-
tails. Cereals are, as a whole, dull and
lack speculative interest. Wheat Is
practically unchanged, early reports
of Argentine crop damage failing TO
bring out much buying, and the lat
ter in turn inducing realizing Corn
is only fractionally higher, while hog
products are rather slow and weak.
1t is from that long time barometer
of trade, the iron business, that rela-
lively the best reports as to the de-
mand and prices come. While a con-
siderable volume of business was UNI
doubtedly placed just previous to
election, the quantity of sales reported
since have been very satisfactory.
Hopefulness as to improvement in
fall demand, now that the election is
over and cold weather has arrived, is
reported in all sections, but nowhere
is the feeling of confidence so marked
as in the south. Despite the recent
decline in cotton the feeling in that
section is notably cheerful. In the
west dry goods, clothing, shoes and
hardware are moving better.

Havana, Nov. 10.-Captain of the
Port Young has asked the govern
ment to refuse any and all proposals
looking to the removal of the wreck
of the United States battleship Maine
by explosives, Last year three firms
offered to remove the hull of the bat
tleship in return for the material, but
there has always been strong objec-
ton to the use of dynamite because
of the probability that there are por-
tons of bodies still in the wreck and
the authorities, of course, shrink from
the idea of Dissertation. A scheme
has been submitted involving the con-
struction of a cofferdam, the pump
ing out of the water and taking of
the wreck apart in pieces; and work
on this line will probably begin next
month.

: MISSOURI RETURNS.


st. Louis, Nov 10.-Returns from
40 counties out of ia counties in
the state indicate that Bryans plu-
rality will be between 10000 and AS
600, as compared with 5s,727 in 1896,
Dockery, democrat for governor, will
receive between $1,000 and $4,000 plu-
rality, as compared with 53,42S re-
ceived by Stephens in 1896, The to-
tai vote in Missouri is estimated as
follows: Bryan, 100000; Mckinley,
325O00,
The fact that there was no fusion
in Missouri between the democrats
and populists this year accounts to a
great extent for the democratic

Opinions of Some London News
papers on the American Election.
AMERICA A WORLD. WIDE POWER.


London, Nov. 10.-The Spectator
says to-day: "Ihe whole world is in
F, terested this time in the election Of
an American president, and justly,
for it concerns the whole world. We
do not, it is true, believe that Mr..
Bryan, il elected, could have put back
the clock and compelled the Ameri-
cans to attend exclusively to their
domestic affairs. Circumstances are
stronger than the teaching of the
founders of the republic, and a rich
people Of 76,000,000, seated on the
Atlantic and the Pacific, with the
growing necessity of commerce with
the far east, must interfere with the
politics of Asia and, therefore, in the
politics of the nations who are trying
to eat up Asia. The American people
have been consulted and accept their
new position as a worldwide power,
ready for the consequent sacrifices,
and will in the future share in the
general movement of nations. In
stead of standing cynically and sell
fshly aloof, they will govern Hawaii
and Porto Rico, they will keep the
Philippines and they will acquire so
much of the world as is essential to
the development of their power and
trade. We heartily welcome the de-
cision."
The Speaker in an editorial says:
"The things which are uppermost
are that man Is the slave of the dol
lar. That seems to be the chief i'm
preston conveyed by the victory of
Mr.. Mckinley. The veriest tyro must
know that the party Mr.. Croker leads
in New York must be far from an
ideal party. But what is rather alb
surdly' called Organism and what
might better be called the new de-
mocracy does vaguely represent an eff
fort to raise the American republic to
a better standard of life, to remind
the people of the idealism from which
the republic was born, to curb the
power of organized capital
and to make republican institutions
square with the principles Of liberty
and equality, and what is good in the
politics of Mr.. Bryan will remain. It
is Mr. Bryan's personality as n candi-
date for president which disappears,
for the simple reason that the aggres-
sion of the monopolies is certain to
become more tyrannical and more in
solent every day, Materialism is rid
ing mankind in the United States as
in Europe

The council of the island of Santa Cruz in the Danish West Indies has adopted and telegraphed to the king of Denmark protest against the sale of those islands to the United States. It Is not many years since n different sen timent manifested itself in Santa Cruz and St. Thomas. When our negotia- tons for the purchase of the islands were we'll under way the Danish gov ernment approved the sale, condi- toned on the choice of the colonists themselves In the vote that was taken the inhabitants of the islands declared by large majority in favor of annexa- tion to the United States. Then the senate refused to ratify the treaty and the negotiations ended The reversal of opinion visible now is noteworthy. The Danish West ladies have heard from Porto Rico. Evidently they do not like this example of American treatment of an island possession which welcomed change of sovereignty.

The Centre of Population.

One curious revalation of the new census is that the centre of population has moved but slightly since ten years ago, aDd it will require nicer calcu- lation than is yet possible to deter mine whe Jher it has moved westward or eastward. For long period it had been steadily moving westward, and by the last census it was found to be little west of south of Greensburg in Indiana, By this census it appears that the states wholly west of the lon gitude of that point have increased almost precisely the same as the states lying wholly east of it, about 5000. 900 each. The remaining 1,325,0O iu- crease is in states which the meridian passes through, and not until the in. creases in the east and west parts of there are determined will it be known what and in what direction the change is. The eastern and western halves of the nation appear to be increasing in population with remarkable evenneSs. It is possible that the northern or southern movement of the centre may be greater than the eastern or western movement, and perhaps it will be found that the movement is really farther from the centre of ten years ago than is now thought probable.
