RISE
in MEAT PRICE.
Two Cents More Added to the
Cost Of Living in this
City.

Meat prices continue to rise and an in
crease of two cents per pound all along
the line has taken place iD the last two
days. The rise in this city since the
beginning of the agitation of the Beei
Trust employees has been seven cents, and
there is no sign as yet of relief. The sit
uation is becoming desperate, and, in
many places, fresh meat is at a premium
In Elizabeth, the source of the greater
part of this oity's wholesale supply, the
situation is..daily becoming worse. Where
the wholesale price in that place two
weeks ago was 8 cents, on certain lines OF
meat, today it is Is cents, and it will
probably go higher.

Complain Of American Fish Cans

In
American canned salmon and HOLSTERS
canned meats. California canned fruits
etc, are, of course, staples of the grocery
trade In France. but there might be 4
much larger sale, particularlyfo for canned
Holsters and salmon, If those products
were energetically pushed by travelling
statesmen. In this connection the ar
tention of American Gamers is called
to the fact that'complsints are frequent-
~ heard here of the inferior and nm
suitable cans in which our salmon and
Holsters are packed. 1t is said that these
cans are made from tin plate CONTAINING
too much lead, and that, in
their contents are poorly preserved
Often it is said the taste of the Holsters
is affected and. in some Instances. Quite
spoiled. know nothing personally AS
to the merits of these complaints. and
only call attention to them for the bene-
at Of our canneries.
