PRICE OF
MEATS To
ADVANCE.
Wholesale and Retail Dealers
Agree That an Increase
Is Imminent.

Everybody knows that during the past
few months that the price OF beef has
increased to an appreciable degree. Most
persons, however, viii, not be pleased with
the prospect that the price of this neces-
sary article of food may advance still
higher. for, according TO the views of a
number OF leading wholesale and retail
dealers. this is a fact which all consumers
of beef may have to face.
While there are several dissenters from
this opinion still the majority OF the
dealers interviewed by News represen-
tative this morning believed that the
price of beef must advance during the
next two months. The reasons given for
this was the scarcity of cattle.
At one OF the large wholesale houses on
Canal street the manager said: II believe
that beef will be higher, and the reason
for this is the scarcity of cattle.
I'VE are paying more for live cattle In
the west today than I'm many years and
IL seems TO me that the consumption is
greater than the supply
The manager OF the meat department of
a large retail house said "I look for
higher prices as soon as warm weather
advances, still IL will he difficult for us
TO raise the present prices Of meats to
a price equivalent to the increase In price
which will be made upon us by the whole
salers. There is no money at the present
time for the retailer at the price beef
is now selling"
Still another buyer for a large local
house said: The price of meats has been
higher for the past six months, but we
hope for a lowering OF price At the
present price the retailers are making
no money for they can't get the equiva-
lent advance In meat.
Still another local retailer believed that
while beef might advance little higher.
yet there was a prospect of a lowering
OF prices when the grass cattle begin to
come. The cause for the rise I'm the
price of beef he believed TO be in the
shrinkage I'm weight of the cattle shipped
here from the west. The number OF cattle
shipped here during the past year. he
said, was as great as i'm previous years.
