FEEL BEEF RAISE
Packing Combine Forcing Ad.
Vanced Quotations on Rock
Island Dealers.
CLAIM sHt RTAGE IN SUPPLY
Only . Ruse TO Justify Advances,
Which Have Been Going
on for Weeks.

One topic of chief discussion in Rock
Island il the steady advance in the
1r.ce al beef the past three week, and
there is yet rising in price, and no
indication of any stoppage.
As il i now beef is almost Il luxury.
and is not INDUCED in 80 freely as it
has been heretofore. The consumer.
of course. has TO pay the raise. But
the retail dealer Is not the one who
reaps the munificcnt profits. The one
getting the money is the packer who
EFFORTS the high prices from the re
tail dealer, who is compelled, in order
to make both ends meet. to charge
the consumer accordingly.
The prices charged by the packers
are considered by the local dealers rs
acing nothing short of outrageous.
The dealers are toGay forced to pay
7Ac for the less desirable kind of
beef. old skinned cows From that
prices go as high as 9lac per pound.
To hoodwink the dealers and con
sumers and to make them think that
they are dealing squarely. the packers
have shortened the supply. thus giving
she impression that they are unable
to get occf. The shipments now sent
INTO Rock Island will not reach 80
per cent Of those in former months
the supply very short for re-
all dealers. Taking advantage of the
-ituation the packers raise the prices
rs high a. they think the people will
tolerate.

There is not Il variation Of one quar-

here cannot account for the raise in

that * that the packers are simply
trying to rob the people through their

no satisfactory reason for the high
