THE OTHER SIDE.
Packers Official Organ Explains Low
Price of Cattle.

Chicago. Dec. 5.-One still hears the
cry Of low cattle and high beef, says
the National Provisioner. The average
scribe and reader then jumps at the
hacker and shoves up to him the high
state of the retail market. For some
reason or other ordinary live beef ~
very low. Well-finished corn-fed beef
is still high on the hoof. Most OF this
goes direct into the catering and tins.
foreign trade. Carcass beef Is alarm !
ingly low--for the packer. While the
cheaper beef is selling at as low rs
5 cents per pound In the carcass, prime
native beef is fetching around s V cents
wholesale by the carcass. There is very
little of this grade for sale. The great
hulk of the carcass beef sold since last
spring has been OF the Z to Y cent
variety The best evidence of that fact
is found In the lump average of the big
sales at large distributing centers. Take
New York City, for instance, where the
best prices are paid for carcass beef
and the best prices are obtained for u,
retail, for the consuming public. Last
week one of the big western concerns
sold thru it's coolers In that city over
9. SOC. 900 pounds of carcass beef at an
average of 6& cents per pound for tn.
lot. This was sold in the ordinary way
of trade to the butchers.
It's price ranged from S to 81
cents per pound, but 6S cents was the
average price per pound obtained for T..
That looks cheap enough for any call
amity bowler. The other western beef
sold about the same price. New York,
therefore, paid an average OF 6& cents
psr pound wholesale for its beef last
week. and just above that average for
It for weeks and months before. In
spite of this we read in the press dis
patches that cattle are cheaper and car
cass beef dearer than ever. No one
denies that the retail butcher has not
changed his prices. But he did not
change them last year when the same
grade of beef was costing him an av
erage of 9is cents per pound and live
beef was costing the packer nearly 90
per cent more than 1t now costs him.
The retail butcher carried the public
last year. He has 81 right to ask the
public to carry him now There was
never a time In the last three or four
Years when SO large an amount of car
oass beef has been marketed for con-
sumption at so low an average cost for

New York. Dec. 5.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade today
says:
Trade Is seasonably quiet except In
the lines affected by the weather and
those embracing holiday goods, which
are in good demand. Activity is espe-
cialIy conspicuous among footwear
jobbers and retailers. Commodities
are generally lower in price, altho a
few important articles. such as cotton.
eggs and dairy products, have risen
sharply. Manufacturing conditions ara

week being the steadiness Of iron and
steel. Textile mills stu find it diff
cult to secure prices in proper ratio to
the raw material. the violent advance
in cotton adding to the embarrassment
of spinners. who have only limited
supplies on hand. Railway earnings in
three weeks in November were 4.s6 per
cent larger than a year previous.
Several encouraging reports are re-
ceived regarding the iron and steel
situation. In most cases the proposed
reductions in wages have met with nc
opposition. and such business as comes
forward Is handled without Interrupt
ton; on the whole the market is quiet
The chief event In the export trade

are particularly prominent in cotton
manufacturing and in iron and steel,
but are being aoce pied with much less
