NEAT PRICES TO GO Up.
ADVANCES BY THE WHOLESALERS FORCE THE
RETAILERS TO ACT


owing TO series of slight advances in the whole
sale price OF beef during the last month the re-
tail dealers will raise the price 10 their customers
within the next few days from and a half TO
TWO cents a pound In some of the shops the adj
vance Will go into effect to-day. while others will
hold off a little while longer in hope OF getting
lower wholesale rates.
According to the scale of prices siroin steaks
will sell from IS 70 % cents a pound, porterhouse
from - 70 = cents. round steaks at IS cents and
roasts from 70 10 IS cents. This is an advance Of
almost two cents pound over last weeks prices.
George Hotchkiss. OF George HOtchkiss & Co..
the Tenth-eve- wholesalers said yesterday 10 a
Tribune reporter;
the retail dealers advance the price OF beef this
week, the raise VIII be legitimate. There has been
steady advance in the wholesale price in the last
month. and the retailers have been making very
little profit. Beef has not been low for the last
two years, although the advance has been very
gradual 1t has not Yet reached high mark
eighteen years ago beef cost the New-YOrk dealers
s. hundred more than it does
The reason for the advance Well the shortage
IN the West IS The main thing that affects the New
York market There is particular reason for the
shortage, so far 1 know. IL simply exists and
We feel H. do not anticipate any further advance
during the summer and prices will eventually get
back 20 q prosperous middle figure.
The representatives of Chicago packing houses
say that the big crops are responsible for the
falling on in the cattle supply The farmers are
too busy harvesting 20 get their cattle ready for
market The advance in price which the packing
houses will pay Will soon relieve the shortage.

NE ATTACKS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

of the sermon preached last night in Calvary
Baptist Church by the Rev. DR.. F. r. Morse, the
assistant pastor. He said in part:
To say that there is not such thing as matter
Is assume that when God created the world he
performed a tremendous trick. To say there is no
such thing moral evil in the world is 10 contra
dict the lesson OF history: and TO assert that man
has nerves with which To feel pain Is TO black
guard the science of anatomy
If. as Mrs. Eddy assumes. there Is no such thing
disease. why did she write her book on Sci
enCe and Health? If men and women do not suf-
fer or have pain. why does she point out remedy
for such things? From first to last the teaching
of her work Is illogical in argument as IL is
hurtful in influence. The public has not yet fully
realized how profoundly serious Is the problem
that is before us. Christian Science Is menace 70
life is subversive of morality and it's whole drift is
TO depreciate the sanctity of home.
