BEEF PRICES SOAR
 AND GOING HIGHER
Some Blame Trust and Oth- CTS Say There's Real /
 Shortage in Chicago
Porterhouse Retails at 28c

New York, Sept. 1.-The wholesale price of beef has advanced cents a pound over the highest. previous fig years, and the end of the rise is not yet in sight, declare wholesalers. The advance up to yesterday had not af- fected the wholesalers here, who sold their beef to retailers for the same price as usual.
 The upward tendency seems to hold. however, the wholesalers say,and they assert that they will have to raise their prices in a day or two, even to old customers. It is possible, they say, that porterhouse steak will presently cost 36 cents a pound.
 In explanation of the rise, whole salers say that there isn't as much rough beef coming out of Chicago as there should be at this season of the year. For several weeks Chicago, they say, has been charging from 1 to 2 cents more for rough beef than in the summer.
 Asked why Chicago hasn't as much rough beef to sell as usual, the whole SalerS advance various explanations Some say the Beef Trust has arbitrar- fly raised the price; others say that Western cattlemen are holding back their stock. Still others declare that the demand for beef Is outrunntng the supply.
 The only kind of beef that appears not to have gone up Is that of Texas and Wyoming cattle, always the cheaper grades. Corn-fed cattle, which furnishes the best beef, are now very scarce. That quality of meat is now selling for 12 cents a. pound at wholesale. The beef of Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky cattle, the next best, is bringing from 1-2 to 10 cents a pound.
 The tariff on imported beef was re- duced by 25 per cent by the last tar if law, but that does not offer any relief to American meat men. The rate under the Dingley tariff was 2 cents a pound; now it is 1 1-2 cents a pound.
 The rise had already begun yester- day to all except favored retailers. Porterhouse steak, which has been selling for 25 cents a pound, advanced to 28 cents, and sirloin that had been selling for 20 cents was raised to p cents.
