ARBITRARY ADVANCE IN
CHICAGO MEAT MARKET
Despite Steady Decline In
Price of Cattle.
RATES TAKE EFFECT TODAY
By Acquisition of Independent Inter
csts the Trust How Reigns
Supreme.

CHICAGO. April There was an ar
bitrary advance yesterday of to 2E
cents per pound on wholesale prices of
No. and cuts and carcasses by the
Big Five" known as the National
Packing Company.
The advances. which were quoted to
those retailers whose contracts with the
packing company expire today are all the
more brazen because they are made in
the face % a steady decline in the price
of cattle Beef on the hoof is a drug in
the stock yard market, and prices for all
cattle, save hogs and sheep, are lower
than at any time in the last two years.
Result of Consolidation.
That the decision to boost the price OF
meat is the direct result of the purchase
and consolidation by the trust of their
Independent competitors there can be no
doubt. The wholesale schedules of all
the companies show the same apprecia-
ton in the prices Of the various classes
of beef. and the city statesmen explained
to their surprised customers that the
mark-up in prices was the work Of a
common agent known as the evener, -
:
who revised the lists of the big Five"
before they we're given TO the statesmen.
