PRICE OF BEEF ADVANCED,
Scarcity of stock in Chicago Given as
the Cause.

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 1t neces-
sary to raise their prices to customers, just
as the butchers have done in New York
The unusual feature of the advance is that
it affected only the cheaper grades of meat
and thus places the burden on the people
who cannot afford srlons and porterhouses
at Is and 20 cents pound.
The advance on what is known as Cheap
stock" such loins, ribs and chunks is
212 cents pound compared with the
prices a month ago.
Beef carcasses have gone up nearly 81 a
hundred pounds in the last two weeks"
said d representative of Armour & CO.
but this is nothing unusual. Cattle al
ways are higher at this season Of the year
The advance will not continue long, and it
has reached the top mark already"
An explanation of 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
Inc packers have been drawing on the
supply-fed cattle. with the result that pro-
ducers have demanded better prices

CANNOT OBTAIN SPACE.
District Will Have No Industrial Ex-
hibit Mt Buffalo.

hibit Mt Buffalo.
Mr. o. T. Crosby has returned from Buff
falo, N. Y, where he went to see about Sc
curing a representation at the exposition OF
the Industrial interests Of the city. He
learned from the management that all
cities as SUCH had been refused space, and
for this reason there will be no District ex-
hibit.
In conversation with a reporter OF The Star
Mr. Crosby said today that the prepare
ton of printed matter relative to the In
dustrial interests of the District, which has
been undertaken by the special committee
of the Board of Trade, Of which committee
he is chairman, is being vigorously pushed
and that 1t will be ready for distribution
at the fair by September 5, which is Dis
trict day, and perhaps earlier.
This material. he added. would also be
available for use in answering requests for
Information about the District and Its re-
sources. 1t is expected, Mr.. Crosby said.
that the Business Mems Association will
cooperate in this work.
The buildings of the exposition" Mr..
Crosby said. ARE very beautiful The ex-
hibits, however, are far from complete, and
the landscape gardening is also fncom-
plete. The illumination at night Is more
effective than anything OF the kind seen at
Chicago or Paris.
THE most serious handicap to the expo
sition at present are the exorbitant hotel
charges. l was required to pay $3.50 per
day on the European plan for such room
at the Iroquois as 1 had often paid g or IS.
l had taken the precaution to telegraph
for a room and so there was no question
of one being in readiness upon my arrival.
The same rate was charged a distin-
guished foreign diplomat with whom I was
travelling and whom 1 directed to the same
hotel 1t would be well, in my opinion,
for intending visitors to make sure of their
rates before reaching Buffalo. The splen-
did work of the citizens of Buffalo should
not he made unsuccessful by reason of an
honest but mistaken policy on the part Of
the hotel keepers.

Sturtevant and the west line Of lot g.
Bukers subdivision Of Mount Pleasant on

gineer Commissioner, has recommended
that Mr.. Campbell be informed that the
report of the surveyor, OF which he re-
quested a copy. was never approved by the
Commissioners, as 1t was apparent to them
that there was question of title involved
which they had not the authority to SETTLE
but which could only be decided by the
parties themselves or by the courts This
being the case they did not deem 1t adyis-
able to furnish either, party to the contro-
versy with any information which could be
the matter. Continuing, the letter which
Capt. Beach Recommends sent to Mr..
Campbell states:
1.-The surveyor is the officer who is au-
thorized by law to make surveys to deter
mine the boundary lines Of the lands of
