MEAT PRICES GOING
HIGHER PACKERS SAY


New York, March 26.-Retail prices
OF meats Of all grades have Increased
2 cents q pound within the last week,
and 10 another week it is likely that
prices viii go from 3 toll Scents q pound
higher, as 3 result Of q combination Of
circumstances which has affected the
cattle-raising industry OF this country.
Local packers say that If conditions
become much worse 1t win be necessary
to import sheep and cattle from the
Argentine Republic, England and Aus
tralia.
Persons visiting the butcher shops
in the last week for their customary
supply Of meat, no matter what Its
quality, have found that from 8 to 6
cents q pound has been added to the
price they paid for beef a week ago.
SHEEP AND HOGS ALSO UP.
When they turned to lamb and NUT
ton as q substitute they found the
price had increased 2 cents a pound,
while the demand for PORK had In
creased that product from / to 2 cents
q pound.
The retailers said the wholesale
price had been increased from % tc
$50 q hundred pounds, and that the
loss In bone and fat to the dealers was
so much greater in proportion that
they felt compelled to make the In.
crease larger than that made by the
wholesaler, whose sales in bulk did
not call for such a proportionate loss

ages 10 wooden box and placed the
box under the seat Of bis spring wagon.
| When within a block OF the mine OF.

three miles further on, as they were
emerging from a corn6eld, and after
the pursuers fired q few shots the rob
