PACKE RS ARE PUZZLED.
Can't Understand How People Get
Along With So Little Meat.

New York, June 4.-What it is has
not developed, but that the American
housewife has found a substitute for
meat, is the opinion of New York
meat packers. According to a state
ment issued by the packers, she has
cut down her purchases of meat twen-
ty per cent and there's no telling how
little she'll buy when the summer
comes. with it's abundance of fresh
fruit and vegetables.
The unusually wet spring has
brought promise of exceedingly boun-
tiful crops, and everything is cheaper
in the eating line except meat.
An official quoted in a trade paper
says:
Il do not know what substitute the
public has found for meat, but I do
know that all the big packers have
experienced this year the longest con-
tinued period of bad business they ev-
er knew. The Americans are peculiar
in their demands. A certain class Of
trade, the very best, wants porter
house steak and rib roasts, and they
pay any price in reason, just as they
do for choice breakfast bacon. The
American appetite generally makes a
good showing in cash sales, but the
cash business just now is as near dead
as it well can be-"
