Beef Prices Dropping.

Food prices have been abnormally
high for the past two years. being high
er in 1906 than in any year since 1883,
though there have been numerous up
ward and downward fluctuations be
tween these dates. The tide has now
apparently turned and prices are fall

vailed.
For example, it was announced at
Omaha Monday that all kinds Of fresh
meat would be cut 10 per cent in price
and that further reductions were like

OF the largest packing houses west of
Chicago, stated that in his belief there

to occur.
Yet dropping food prices. welcomed
by the consumer, do not necessarily
spell Stagnation. 1t is possible for
them TO fall materially without indi-
eating any serious disturbance of bust

Il fall Will stimulate buying. The

Food Prices Will Fall.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Cudahy's 10 per cent meat cut will be
the first of many. The Omaha meat
packer has been wise in advance of his
rivals and coparceners In the meat trust,
as he has been before.
Meat must come down. Taking the sta
tistical situation. it is at least 20 per cent
too high The increase in the number of
meat animals of all sorts has caught up
and passed the increase in population. A
range of wholesale prices a fifth lower
would be fair.
The advance in milk in this city has
wholly and justly failed Here again ex-
penses have doubtless increased SO far as
delivery is concerned. Oats and feed are
higher horses cost more and, what is
more important than all the rest. wages
have gone up. Good men for drivers on
milk routes are hard to get, their pay is
higher and, in many cases, their work is
less efficient. With the increase in pay
has often come decrease in effort. activ-
ity and output The same number of men
serve fewer customers.
But the supply of milk IS larger. More
farms are reached by rail in time for daily
city consumption. the average yield per
l'cow has increased and the ice machine
saves milk longer. For an advance in
milk, as in meat, there is no excuse.
