The Cumberland county Prohibition
convention was held in Portland last
Thursday afternoon. Apparently there
was not much speaking talent among
the delegates, and newspaper men and
others were called upon but declined
to address the convention. Finally
Joseph B. Reed, Register of Probate,
was called on for a speech and promptly
responded. He said he was Repub-
lican and did not believe in the Prohlbl-
ton party. (Sensation,) He told the
convention that every prohibitory law
there is was voted by Republicans, aud
not by Prohibitionists. He respected

DO Beef Crusf...
-. SAP the Butchers

Meat eaters are unduly aroused.
There is no beef trust. Agents Of the
packers say SO and butchers echo the
declaration. The trouble with prices
now Is simply due to a scarcity Of
meat with no shrinkage in the number
Of consumers.
It is 30. every word Of 1t. avow these
people and they think the packers
have been unjustifiabiy abused for
conditions over which they have no
iron clad control
Prices Of all meats have risen. Pork
has gone up a little, as well as beef.
and mutton, some declare, is higher
than II has been In ten years. selling
at an advance of between four and
five cents over prices heretofore. A
few cents in the rise Of meat means
big sight OF money to the people Of
any community. In lincoln a promi-
nent meat man estimated the expendi-
ture Of the people for meat at an aver
age Of 81. 600 a week.
At many Of the markets all beef cuts
have risen two cents and half
pound while at others they have
SCARED five cents. 1t depends on the
extent of the business Of the place.
Where much trade is recorded for
day It is possible to sell for less and
make good enough profits while at the
lesser establishments higher price
IN demanded.
A courier representative talked with
men both Of the Swift and the Armour
agencies here and while they claimed
not to he intimate with the methods of
the head Institutions they affirmed
nevertheless that they were being held
to account for alleged offenses for
which they are not responsible. Pre-
cious little margins are they making
anyhow, II was said. Live stock Is
bought by the packing houses at prices
ranging from 6k to s cents a pound
and sold at from to 10 cents. 1t costs
nearly all Of that to dress the meat
and ship Il. not to mention the shrink
age which IL sometimes nearly as much
a. nifty per cent. At this rate there Is
certainly little profit on dressed meat.
The agents say there is none at all and
that the packers enjoy margins only
on the by-products they manufacture.
OF course Il sounds . triGe dshy. Still.

daily quotations, with their s,,sh,
fluctuations. tend to bear out the rem
resentatfon of the figures. From all
OUTSIDE indications and talk il does NOT
appear that the packers are entoyine
the gigantic profits with which tbey
are credited by the easily aeitated
Al any rate 1t is a rare market man
VINO seriously blames the packers for
the raise. They tend to agree that
these people are getting only their
Just share of profits, certainly not
more. and the rise is natural.
Cattle are scarce and people are
thick. The wars have been RESPONSE
bic for huge shipments of meat to the
outside armies and new fields have
been opened in the Orient. More meat
Is being transported across the seas
than ever before In the history of the
world. That's where a good deal is po-
ing ana that contributes to the scar
city. There was a time in the history
OF stock raising when the farmers and
raisers were getting only from one to
tnree ana four cents pound for their
animals on hoof. This was in rather
remote days. however Raising a
higher grade Of animals. they have
come to demand higher price. Their
greatest incitement has been the very
high figures on grain during the pres
ent year and last fall With corn all
the way up to sixty-f1ve cents no
wonder its animal consumers are held
dearly. Their owners cannot afford TO
sell them for small money. Who wouldo
The result is that the packers must
pay something for them. Still farther
on the carnivorous public must pay
something. 1t sometimes happens that
when beef takes a drop in the open
market the packers must retrieve for
previous short selling by maintaining
the old prices. In this manner they
keep balance with themselves and
the public for the times when the
prices without corresponding rise on
the part of the packers. At any rate
nobody In the meat business here ac-
cuses the packers of unduly exacting
margins.
The public will probably think as II
has. notwithstanding. How far II in
tends to go to get even nobody can
yet predict. Market men, however. say
they do not expect a rise Of more than
half a cent more at the most and that
by June, prices will take a proper and
beneficient drop. Certain it is that the
market men have observed a distinct
falling OF in their business the past
week. They are dead afraid they are
being bilked. Traffic in eggs and cereal
foods has correspondingly picked up.
The market men say 1t would be i'm
possible for them to kill their own
meat and make better prices Hence
the people must hang to their eggs
until they come to feel more at ease
