The Washington and Virginia Stock

have the Jackson City abattoir, now m
the course OF construction, ready 10

making 1t difficult to obtain the required
machinery.
The new abattoir will have a capacity
of about 800 hogs a day and IS to 100
head of cattle. The plant is in every
way up to date. and # is expected that
most of the local trade will be done
there. large part of the Maryland and
Virginia cattle for use in the Washing
ton market, which have hitherto been
shipped TO the slaughterhouses in Bal
timore. Philadelphia and New York.
will hereafter be shipped TO Jackson
City.
Exclusively for Local Trade.
A prominent Washington wholesale
dealer said yesterday the new abattoir
is not intended to compete with the
great Western packers, but will be used
for a local trade only. He said there
would probably be no change in the
prices of meat because of the new
slaughterhouse. The only difference
from the present state of affairs will be
a change in the points from which the
meat comes 10 the Washington market.
More will come from this part OF the
country and less from the West and
North.
In spite of the much-talked-of high
prices of meat in Washington, meats
have been cheaper here in the past
twelve months than they have been for
several years. the dealer said, and
especially have they been low this sum
mer There are Of course special cuts
of meat that bring fancy figure. but
the ordinary cuts are sold for less N
this city than any other city of its size
in the East. The supply of beef in Wash
ington has been greater than the sum-
mer demand, principally because the
Western dealers have a pride in main
tanning agencies in the National Capital
and have continued to ship meat here in
spite of the slow trade"

Wine Merchants Say Business Has In
ueased in the Last
Three Years.

LONDON, Sept Il Indignation
grows among the society women of
London over the assertion that as time
passes they are making a freer use OF
alcoholic beverages. Whether they are
angry because the assertion is false, or
because it is true and they object to its
obtaining publicity. is an unanswered
question.
According to the newspaper which
started all the trouble. what are COM
monty denominated "cordials" are re-
sorted TO in an alarming degree by the
younger women of the upper classes.
Idleness and IntempeIance.
The paper says that idleness is the
main reason for the growth of the
habit. 1t adds that coffee and liquors
are now considered requisites of even
the Hghtest forms of astronomical en-
tertainment.
Girls in their first season, IL asserts,
insist upon their creme de menthe or
benedictine three times a day. and
young married women take their whisky
and water as a matter of course.
London wine merchants, according to
information recently collected, agree
that much more liquor is sold now than
three years ago.
To Offset all this is the statement
made by the secretary of a woman 5

says emphatically there are no excess

adds that. 1t would be considered the
