LOCAL SUPPLY

Diet.
Poultry and Fish Are in Strong
Demand-Tu Turkeys Galore
in Storage.

Enough meat arrived in Minneapo-
lis today and yesterday from the big
packing centers to meet the local de-
mand for at least a week or ten days.
If the strike can be settled within
time, there will be no suffering locally
there is no telling what the prices
may do within the next few days.
Today saw a slight general advance
in the price of meats, but dealers say
this was due to other causes than the
strike. Pork advanced 2 cents to
cents, beef 1 cent to cents. All the
agents of the big packinghouses are
waiting to hear from their headquar-
tiers as to what they shall do in the
way of making prices. F. W. Couron,
who has charge of the Cudahy inter-
ests in Minneapolis, says:
1T all depends on whether we can
get any more shipments. It may be
that the paskinghouses may be able
to get some men to work in the ship
ping departments, and If Minneapo--
lis is to receive cars gotten out In this
manner, the local market may not be
greatly affected. But if we are not
to receive any more meat for some
time--Well, each agent in Minneapo-
lis will make an effort to tide over ex-
penses till the strike Is settled by in
creasing the prices Of what meat he
hds IL his CoollnsrOoHS. IOoay,3 we
are all good deal at sea. I have
communicated with our Chicago office.
but they seem to know little Of how
long the strike Is going to last, or
what arrangements they can make for
getting out meat while the strike is
on. The thing seems to have come
on so suddenly that the packers are
not prepared for it, In event that
non-union labor should get out the
needed meat in place Of the strikers,
there would be no trouble about get
ting the men at the Minneapolis agen-
cies to handle it. Our men here in
clude few what we call Skilled labor
ers;' they are non-union, and would
accordingly handle non-union packed
