Advance of Over 90 Per Cent Creates
Demand for Amendment of Laws.

Advance of Over go Per Cent Creates
Demand for Amendment of Laws.
BERLIN, July 20.-The price of meat has
risen in Germany from 20 to % per cent
during the last six months so that now
prices are higher by 30 to 35 per cent than
in the neighbOring continental states. The
prices outside of Germany usually are 10
to Is per cent lower. Popular appeals di-
rected by the organized meat dealers are
being made to the government, both here
and in the provinces, to raise the prohibit
ton against the Importation of live cattle.
Six public meetings in this connection were
held at Cologne last night. The Butchers
association of Berlin is planning a number
of agitation assemblages. The prices of
meats supplied by the retailers today, al
lowing for differences. in weights and
money, were:
Fillet of beef, AZ cents per pound boiling
beef, "a cents; pork, an cents; veal, 311a
cents.
The agitation is for, cheaper meat by
abolishthg the exclusion laws. These are
based as in the case OF American canned
meats on sanitary grounds. But the con-
vention is constantly advised that the
sanitary arrangements are made unneces-
sarily severe in order to prohibit cattle
and meat imports in the interest of the
German farmer. The Deutsche Tages
Zetung, the principal agrarian organ, has
leading article in nearly every issue
Affirming that Germany can and ought tc
raise all the cattle it consumes and thai
in fact the rise in the price of meat Is
due TO the butchers associations, TO fine
meat shops and increased rents. The ques
