NEW YORK, June o--With the

in New York City is said by whole

the maximum of recent years, have
been the dominant factor contribut-
ing to this result, it is admitted
Demand for beef investigation
shows, has fallen off throughout the
city. Hotels, restaurants and fami-
lies are reducing their daily orders,
often by one-half Already. the re
tail prices are one-thrd higher than
the quotations OF year ago. Sirloin

consumers OF "chuck" and other in

pinch severely.
In many districts OF the East Side

gregated between and 4 cents a
pound within the last ten weeks are
selling their products at prices which
yield li:t.e or no profit rather than
take chances OF further curtailing
their trade by raising retail figures.
Representatives OF the larger pack,
ing companies insist the advance OF
to II cents a pound within the last

solely to the shortage of cattle. They
assert that had consumption volume
held to the normal figures for this
season OF the year, the increases
would have been much larger.
Retail dealers lay the blame upon
the packers. Several retailers at,

ton by so-called trust, asserting
that representatives OF the various
