slight FALL
IN BEEF PRICES

A drop Of one-half cent in the whole
sale price OF beef yesterday has In
spired butchers here with the hope that
the extreme wholesale prices, which
began to go up last Monday viii soon
fan to normal This hope is sustained
in spite Of the explanation that the
drop is only a temporary nuctLation
due TO the hot weather. which always
adversely affects wholesale prices Beef
is selling at wholesale at an average
Of IL 1-2 cents as against ~ cents a
pound several days ago.
No change has taken place In retail
quotations since last Sunday. but in
asmuch as butchers generally had borne
the brunt of the advance in wholesaia
prices without raising the retail prices
materially a change in retail prices has
not been looked for.
Shipments of cattle are irregular
and small, according TO local butchers.
Higher prices either wholesale or re
tail are not looked for, but II is thought
that the present range Of prices Will
hold here until the receipt Of grass
cattle. which Is expected earlier this
year because of the forward season.
This will probably be in early Sep

the higher class of retail butchers here
this morning when he said that butch

ft as the result of the advance In
the wholesale prices OF meat without
a corresponding advance in the retail
prices. The disinclination Of the pub
lie to accept advance prices and to
thus endanger the meat market ia
favor of vegetables fruits and cereals
has halted the retail butchers in any
endeavor to advance prices.
The retail quotations on beef in the

this sort Of life any longer, so I just
pulled out the knife and let her have
it,"
