guard OF baseball magnates, legislators,
and club owners to attend the annual
meeting Of the National Association of
Minor Leagues arrived yesterday. and
the lobbies Of the Fifth Avenue and Vic
toria Hotels are thronged with men
well known in the baseball world. The

light

more important organization than fol-
lowers of the major leagues in the
large cities imagine. Six years ago the
organization sprang into existence in
Chicago with a handful Of clubs and no

Notwithstanding the reports from tho
West Of the slaughter Of beef prices.
In Washington. il Is said, beef for the
last month had been sold at a loss. the
market prices which have been prevail

obtained.
The announcement Is made that Ed
ward A. Cudahy, head Of the Cudahy
Packing Company. believes there viii
be an immediate decline all along the
line Of products and staple supplies
necessary to human life.
As a reason for the decline IN beef,
Mr.. Cudahy says: General business
expansion has been carried too FAR. and
there has got to be a halt. For several
days we have been buying cheaper, and
we think we are justified by the cOudi-
tiOns in selling cheaper. There has al
ready been 4 reduction in some other
lines. and We believe that meat should
be lower than Il has been. The packing
houses at Omaha made a general re-
duction all along the line.
Beef roasts, which were selling IN
Omaha for 10 cents, are listed today
for 9.
