BEEF PRICES SOAR Up
LIKE THE FABLBD Cow
Inflated Values Seriously
Reach General Public.
EFFECT At THE RESTAURANTS
Separate Portions Reduced in Size.
Those Who, Suffer From Increased Cost.
How Situation Is Viewed at Baltimore
and Chicago-Canned Beef Again.

Not since the fabIed escapade Of the
little COW that jumped over the neon has
beef shown such a tendency to 90 up.
This rise has been very noticeable In
the last six OF eight weeks. especially
among the choicer grades Of beef. In that
time porterhouse steak has made an ad-
vance Of s to y cents per pound, sirloin
to / cents additional, rio 21k to cents,
and round steak from > to 3 cents more
than before.
The effects of this rise in price are more
noticeable to the general public in the
restaurants and cafes than anywhere else.
It is true that 25-cent small steak still
costs % cents, but not quite so much of
it is served as there was two months
ago Perhaps the man who exists" in
the clearinghouse has also noticed that
he draws more blanks in the beefsteak
lottery than formerly. The advance in
price is also having the effect of placing
a prohibitiye tariff on the commodity for
the man OF family who is in poor circum-
stances. He eats more rice. more beans
and other vegetables than he did formerly
and these articles OF food will undoubtedly
he influenced by the demGnd and rise also.
Inquiry Into the Causes.
While the effects OF the advanced price
of beef are easily seen. it is much more
difficult matter to ascertain the exact
causes. The fault certainly does not lie
with the retail dealers. nor with the
wholesale men who buy from the big con-
Germs that control The supply. for they
.aFe among the worst sufferers from the
rise on account OF the decrease in sales
On the other hand it is claimed Cy the
packing houses that the rise in price is
brought about by natural causes. The
partial failure Of the Western corn crop
last fall. due to the conditions Of drought.
have made corn-fed cattle scarce
In Baltimore New York, Philadelphia,
and Chicago the matter is beginning to
assume the proportions of beef famine
and it is claimed that suffering among
the iaboring classes is already becoming
serious. The Pc. Ie and the retail deal
ers and butchers Of those cities lay the
blame on the shoulders OF the alleged beef
trust
