THE COST OF MEAT.

Reduction in the cost to the consumer
of food staples is the prediction of deal
erS supplying the necessities of life.
While the downward movement has not
affected the New York retail markets
as yet, there is every indication that
the housewife will be able to supply her
table in a short time at an outlay much
less than that to which she has been
accustomed for the last year.
According to NJ. J. SulZberger, vice
president of the Schwarzchild & Sulz-
berger company, drop in the cost of
beef of the poorer grades may be look
ed for at any time.
1.-THE price of meat to the consumer
depends on the, cattle receipts at Chi
cago- and other western points, said
Mr.. Sulzberger, land these receipts just
now are light. At Chicago, for in
stance. Mondays receipts were 21,000
head, as compared with $4,000 head on
the preceding Monday. But in the face
of these figures the cost of the poorer
quality of meat probably will decline.
In the matter Of choice beef, the corn
fed product of the middle west that is
known in the trade as native beef, I
look for no reduction in price because
the supply is short"
A canvass of the situation in the
West Fourteenth street market district
showed actual decreases already in
force in some commodities and gen.

IL
ues any considerable length Of time.
Poultry shows decrease Of from 10 to
Is per cent. The egg market is weaker.
1t is said that dealers on account of
the big supply of fresh eggs that have
come into the market recently have
found 1t impossible to dispose of the
large cold storage stocks that were laid
in last April and May at such a figure
as to make money.-New York Herald.
WILL FOOD PRICES FALL
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 the copartners in the meat
trust as he has been before.
Meats must come down. Taking the
statistical situation. it is at least 20
per cent TOO high. The increase in the
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
expenses 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

The same number of men serve fewer
customers.
But the supply of milk is larger. More
farms are reached by rail IN time Tor
daily city consumption, the average
yield per COW has increased and the
Ice machine saves milk longer. For an
advance in milk as in meat, there is no
excuse -Philadelphia Press.

Adam smoke? Did Eve wear corsets
Did Solomon chew tobacco? Did Ruth
