New YORK, Jan. % mere ID
widespread understanding among re-.
tail butchers here that the Western
packers have decided to cut In half
their shipments of cattle to this city.
in an effort to uphold the price of
beef. The packers deny it.
On the other hand. the small deal.
ers were equally positive that the
packers are only talking big and
that if the boycott continues conces-
sons in wholesale prices must come.
The family trade in meats continues
to dwindle and prices continue to fall
in consequence, but as the beef goes
down, fish goes up The following de-
clines and appreciations are recorded
in the retail markets here.
Meat Prices.
Porterhouse steak from "a cents a

Sirloin steak, % cents to 18 cents.
Prime ribs, beef, % cents to 1e

the better class trade at least, the re

what he can make on the sale of by
products.
From Hoof to Consumer.
1t is supposed that a New Yorl
packer buys steer on the hoof on tn
Chicago stock yards, The stee
weights 1882 pounds in Chicago, TO
which IA cents is paid, making tn
cost to the New York packer $96,7I
Owing to loss of weight by transports
ton, the steer when led to slaughte
here, weights only 1900 pounds
When dressed 1t makes 800 pounds Q
saleable meat on which 1874 pound
would bring top notch prices. L
short the packer reserves for his ow
uses 400 lbs. and sells to the butche
!, 500 pounds
For this 500 pounds the butche
pays the packer $40, and the packe
must make up the difference betwee
his selling price here and the pric
he paid for the steer on the hoof i

He is supposed to admit profit o

Crime OF OLD Age
CAUSES DISCHARGE
Thirty Years of Faithful Serv-
ice No Excuse With the
Government

The United States government dis
charged two of the oldest men in the
customs service yesterday. Benjamin
f. Small, 70 years old and for more than
80 years in the service, was the first
one to go. He was old and had outlived
his usefulness, so he was discharged.
Small had s5S coming. and when he was
handed the few dollars and told that
his services were no longer needed he
broke down and cried. He has an In
valid wife. During the last few months
he had been absent from his duty, as
inspector at the sugar refinery, on ac-
count of sickness.
Small when young man was prom
inent in Nevada. He was a man of af-
fairs in that state and was the pro-
prietor OF the Arlington hotel in Car
son in the early days. His character
was tested in the days when dishonest
men were in the local custom house and
hundreds of thousands of dollars were
made by handling contraband opium.
At that time Small was in the treasury
department. where he remained until
recently, when he was made an in
spector on the docks.
Perkins H Bagley was the second
old man to go. Bagley is 81 years old
and has also been serving the United
states government over 80 years. He is
q veteran of the civil war and for many
wears has been a night inspector on the
water front Bagley has also been Ill

lOPcSiUt OtSPCtCH- 10 4 nc AOu
LOS ANGELES. April 15.-Eforts to
induce Joseph Call to oppose Theodore
Bell in the primaries as candidate for
Governor have caused a tremendous up
roar in the ranks of the Los Angeles
democracy, and unless Call positively
declines the party is likely to be rent
asunder.
simultaneously with the publication
in a democratic newspaper of a signed
statement by Albert Norton, county
chairman. reaf1rming his adherence to
Bell. there appeared in w. r. Hearst's
local newspaper interviews" with a
dozen or more prominent democrats
advocating Call for governor This
stirred up a hornets nest
While Norton was declining to reit-
crate his advocacy of Bell presumably
because he did not wish to antagonize
the Hearst faction, several of those "in-
terviewed" in the Hearst newspaper
were repudiating the published state
ments and declaring themselves first
last and all the time for Bell for gov
ernor, for Timothy Spellacy for lieu
tenant governor and for Call as rail
road commissioner.
Spellacy's candidacy has just beer
announced, and it is declared that this
action has turned a number from Cal
to Bell on the theory that the candi-
dates for both governor and lieuten-
ant governor should not be from the
southern part of the state.
Stripped Of fireworks and oratory, the
situation appears to be that Call vii
be persuaded against becoming a can.
didate for governor and that the Bel
adherents will prevail over the Hearst
faction that is now endeavoring to in
duce Call TO enter the race.
