BEEF GOES HIGHER.
Chicago Retailers Make Advance Of
2 ID Cents Per Pound.

Chicago Retailers Make Advance of
2 1-2 Cents Per Pound.
Chicago, June 4.-Beef on the hoof.
as stockmen say. has been advancing
in price for the last two weeks until
the retail butchers Of Chicago have
found it necessary to raise their prices
to customers, just as the butchers have
done in New York. The unusual fea-
ture of the advance is that it affected
only the cheaper grades OF meat, and
thus places the burden on the people
who can not afford sirlolns and porter
houses at IS and 20 cents "a pound.
The advance on what is known a7
cheap stock such as loins. ribs and
chucks, IS 21z cents a pound, as COM
pared with the prices a month ago.
Beef carcasses have gone up nearly
81 a hundred pounds in the last two
weeks" said a. representative Of Armour
& Co., but this is nothing unusual
Cattle always are higher at this season
OF. the year. The advance viii not con-
tinue long, and it has reached the top
mark already"
An explanation for the increased cost
of beef is found in the late arrival OF
warm weather and the consequent
scarcity Of grass-fed cattle from the
west.
The packers have been drawing on
the supply of corn-fed cattle, with the
result that farmers have demanded
better prices.

KITCHENER A SCAPEGOAT.
British War Office Locates Blame For
News Snnnreasln on.

New York. June "A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The war Office authorities have lost no
time in saddling Lord Kitchener with
responsibility for not satisfying the pub
lie demand for trustworthy news of
South Africa. Suspicion, notwithstand-
ing. still exists that the home officials
are holding back some information. The
war Office is being Inundated with num-
erous inquiries because Of the currency
that has been given to a runlor of a SER
iOus British defeat. 1t would not injure
the British army if the details of the
Nlakfontein fight. which must by this
time have reached Lord Kitchener, were
telegraphed home at once, and it would
help to relieve the uneasiness felt by a
million or more Of Englishmen and Wo-
men with relatives at the front.
