THE VERY HIGH PRICES OF MEATS.

There is than the combine at the bottom Of the
high prices for meats universal Short and
short forage crops year be taken into the
count It costs almost or quite half much again to
produce hog it did year ago. And the same is
true And then there other causes, in
Guiding an increased army demand and decrease in
animals The farmers, however taking the advance in
the price feed into consideration not making any
more money out Of the interest than when prices
lower Take pork for instance The price in the eastern
market which the farmer receives has almost doubled
within the past three years On Thursday the market
price Of prime live swine on the 1925 per hun
bred pounds Two years ago on the same day the price
was $525 and IN the early summer Of 1893 it but
$3.50 In other words, the farmer gets 10 cents more
per pound for pork than he received three years ago
The same is practically true Of beef.
OF course there Is for this Primarily it is the
decrease the number Of animals to be slaughtered for
1892 the number Of cattle which the basis Of
the meat supply Of the country was 37652239 That had
fallen in to 27610054 The number swine decreased
in the same period from 5G027S0 631 and there
also decrease Of about 100000 in the number Of
sheep That the advance in price two years ago.
Last summers drouth in the belt and the
western cattle it impetus Then tens Of thous
Of cattle rushed to market them from
starvation ranges the partial failure the
crop brought about sharp advance in the price Of
the principal for cattle and swine making another
advance IN the price Of meat necessary.
OF course the combination Of packers is able to keep
the price up but every reader should understand that
there is good reason for advance the price
The retailer is in wise to blame for this and he is
to suffer in the end much the consumer If not
more because high prices smaller purchases and
less profit for him There may be relief soon but how

A QUEEN RECENT TO RETIRE.

The beautiful and really competent Queen,
Chrisana mother Of the boy King of Spain whose father
the dissolute Aphonso XII viii retire from the Re
gency within a few days. The people Of the United
States have only great respect this noble
but they sympathzea with her in the troublesome times
Of the which her ministers forced upon the United
States which lost Spain her greatest provinces and
SO much Of prestige When Marie Christiana princess
imperial and archduchess of Austria became the bride of
Alfonso XII Of SPAIN she brought very little dover in
deed to her husband Nothing settled upon her
cept pension Of $4,000 in the event that she should
become the widow of Alfonso XII For the first time this
the minister of finance in his estimate Of the budget
for 1902 has reminded the nation that the Queen viii have
to receive the part Of this pension corresponding to the
period extending from May II December 81 namely,
little more than 3d. 900.
Sngularly enough the future Queen Dowager Chris
the Princess Of Austria who gets 100000 year and less
than her motherinaw exQueen Isabella who gets $780,
000 The Kings grandfather Don Francisco de Asi hus
band Of Queen Isabella gets 100000 the nfanta Isabel
aunt Of the young King $4,000 year In fact in the
Spanish royal family at the present time only the Kings
maiden sister, Princess Maria Teresa and his aunts Dona
Paz and Dona Euala, receive from the Spanish budget
less than the regent herself will receive when she hands
the reins of government to her son.
It is not generally known abroad that since the
with America the Queen Regent has managed to make
gift to the nation of 100000 year Of the s14O0000
that forms the civil list of the crown Fortunately the
Queen Regent has her little private property in the
