New York, May 2.-As result Of the
sensational decline in International Power
Shares two men Identified with the ma
nipulation of the stock, John R. Drexel,
lately of Philadelphia and now OF New
York, and Cyrus Field Judson, who was
director of the company are said to have
been badly burned. Friends of Mr.. judi
son said that he had lost more than
81 900 of the profits he had accumu-
lated in the manipulation. Ample con-
frmation was obtained in Wall street of
the report that Drexel G. Co., bankers of
Philadelphia, were urgently called upon
by Mr.. Drexel to give financial aid to
more than one New York house, SO that
contracts made by him in International
Power yesterday could be fulfilled.

More About the Decrease in the Con-
sumption Of Cattle.
Chicago, May 2.-That the consumption
of beef has fallen off 371s per cent since
the agitation against the packers began
was admitted by leading packers to-day.
The percentage given averages the cal
culations Of the packers seen. Prices
held steady yesterday, chiefly, it was
said, because some export orders were
being filled. One thousand beef cattle were
left over from the day before. Opinions
varied as to whether trade yesterday
would clean up the 5000 head received.
One buyer declared that there would be
more than a thousand left over while
another expressed the opinion that the
export business would clean up the lot
A representative of one of the packing
houses said that the yards have received
5000 head of cattle yesterday; veal
ago the receipts were 1871 head Re
ceipts for April were estimated at ap-
proximately 100000 head less than fol
the same month year ago.

E. Fish;
MEAT TOO HIGH
Local Fish Jobber's Sales
Jump II, oool Pounds in
a Week.
Commission Men Elsewhere
Order Shippers to Hold
Back Their Stock.

-s f. q Nj K. X I ~ b
The people Of the Southwest have hit
upon a unique method pf fighting the beef
trust. They are eating fish instead OF
meat, and. will probably continue to do
so until the trust puts down prices AL
though many retail naeat dealers do not
admit that there has been any material
falling off in their business, such is the
fact nevertheless. PEOPLE are buying less
meat and more fish. Hhat is more, deal
ers themselves prove the statement, al
though they viii not talk for publica-
tion.''
One firm alone. the Baltimore Packing
company, sold last week 1900 more
pounds of fish than were sold during the
corresponding week 81 last year. This
week the increase will be still greater,
and advance orders fer next week indi-
cate that the sales wiz break all previous
records. Manager l.. +. Keller, in speak
ing of the increase this morning, said he
could only attribute ii to the action of
the beef trust in raising the price of
meats, and the CONSEQUENT disposition of
/ the people to get aling with as little
meat as possible. Said he: Fl

New York, May with the single

showing with that Of April last year,
which was record breaking month in
the matter of new interpretations and

OF sweeping away the tariff duties on
