RAISES ITS PRICES.
Beef Trust Says Cattle Are Scarce
and Corn High.

anu SOt'
New York, July 5.-The beef trust
has again ordered the price of its pro-
duct raised. Fourteen cents a pound
for pot roast to 28 cents for porter
house and sirloin steaks is the price.
Thirty cents will be demanded for the
latter cuts in few days, while aver
age beef will cost the dealer 10A cents
a pound, as against the hitherto pre-
vaiing price Of 10 cents.
The high price of corn and the scar
city of cattle are the reasons assigned
by the trust for the increase in prices.
AS to why cattle should be any scarcer
now than at any other time no answer
is forthcoming.
Retail butchers explain that the
working people are too poor to buy
beef; that there is lessening in the
demand and consequently raising in
the price. 1t is pointed out that Pat
tens corner in wheat has increased the
demand for corn as an article of human
consumption, and that therefore the
price of that grain has so increased
that it is no longer profitable to raise
corn-fed cattle.
The officers of the beef trust in the
East are very reticent in discussing
the condition of the beef market.
When an expression of opinion was
sought from the representatives OF the
big leaders in the trust, such as Ar
mour's and Swift's, the inquirer was
referred from one official to another.
Finally vague statement was made
to the effect that the market was nor
NAL and that existing prices were due
to natural trade conditions.

Trust in No Danger.

New York, July 5.-There is little
probability that there Wi be any prose
cution of the sugar truS until August,
when United States District Attorney
Wise, who sailed Saturday for Europe,
returns to New York. The failure of
the Federal grand jury to file indict-
ments in its investigation of the Amer
ican Sugar Refining company adds to
this impression.

played their game, but none Of these
noises disturbed Rip. He slept on and

1T was a bright sunny morning when
Rip awakened and. sitting up rubbing his
eyes TO see where he was. he found him
self on the same soft grassy bank where
he had first met the little old man, and
wondered il he had slept there all night
Wolf. his dog. was not there. and Rip S
gun seemed SO old and rusty that he
thought the little men had been playing

so he started to find the little rascals and
make them give back his dog and gun.
But when he tried to get up he found
himself stiff: he could hardly move; his
clothes were torn and his beard had
grown so long that he wondered whether
he was himself or some one else"
.'Oh, my" exclaimed Betty.
But although he managed to stumble
to the place where he had left the little
men playing nine pins, he could not see a
sign of them that morning. Instead Of
the clearing there were trees and bushes
and not a trace was left of the men or
the keg or the nine-pins or the jugs
Nothing but wild and dreary mountains
all around him.
RIP whistled for Wolf time and time
again. but no nice old dog scampered to
meet him, and then poor old Rip felt very
lonely, and he began to think that he
was very hungry and far from home. So
he decided TO give up his hunt for the
lost dog and gun and go back and ask
Dame Van Wrinkles forgiveness for his
going away from home again"
