Ever since the rise in prices began the Steel
Corporation has kept its quotations about 81 ton

CORN-FED BEEF SCARCE
Tough Steak the Dire Prospect and
Retail Prices May Rise.

The man Of the house who goes home at night
and sits down to a tough porterhouse steak or
sirlon roast must not blame his wife. the cook or
the butcher, for they are all doing the best they
can. They simply cannot get the choice cuts-that
is all; for there is a great scarcity Of oorn-fed
fancy cattle in the market.
The principal packers in this city said yesterday
that the farmers out West are selling their corn
rather than feed it TO their cattle hence the short
supply of fancy beef.
Wholesale prices they said, had been advanced
one-haIf 20 one cent pound. Hind quarters were
selling at II to 11A cents. and even as high as u
cents a pound
The packers saw no relief in sight until the win
ter months, when the farmers may begin TO send
in corn-fed cattle They were inclined 70 believe
that prices would not go much higher. An indie
pendent packer resented any charge that prices
were manipulated by beef trust: he said that
the price simply a matter OF supply ana de-
mand AS proof of this contention he cited the
present low price of the lower grades OF range oee
from Texas and Colorado.
Another packer said he had just sold ESQ Texas
steers for 81 O2 hundred. which meant loss OF
S. a head. There are so many OF this grade OF
cattle in the market he said. that we are lucky
10 sell at any price. In order to get fair pront
we should get at least s. hundred
AS for the butchers, the only ones who are slnii-
ing and saying nothing are those who deal IN the
cheaper grades of beef. They are taking advantage
of the low prices and selling at the same old
figures
1t was a different story with butchers who sell
the better grades of beef Their trade is In the
hest cuts and they can't get them. When they
do get them they have TO pay from II to II cents
a pound for hind quarters and sell at summer
prices. 1t would seem. they said. that they were
making good profit. but, as a matter OF TACT IL
was alleged they not, owing to the waste
from trimming suet and cheap cuts. IL was only
a matter OF time they said, before prices would
have to be raised to the consumer.
The return OF families from the Eeashore during
September and October will only aggravate the
present situation One packer said the only<WaS
a man would be able to get good steak would oe
10 go to the first class hotels and restaurants.
which always have first call. owing to their large
orders.

as tending TO weaken the strong position which
the metal has been occupying since the showing
made a month ago. when the Copper Producers
report showed a decrease of s3OOO.OOO pounds in
stocks on hand The decrease of 42543.146 pounds
in total deliveries for August, as compared with
those made in July, was attributed to the fact
that the bulk Of the copper sold in April and May
was delivered In June and July.
