Responsibility for High Prices.

To tine Editor OF The Star:
Why are prices f1igho Let us see if
there is any one to blame or is It a
natural condition. Is the farmer ITO
blameo He is getting a great deal more
than he did twenty years ago for all
animals that he raises, cattle hogs,
sheep, horses and all kinds of poultry.
Now does 1t not cost him great deal
more 10 fatten all his stock and poultry
on $40 corn than 1t did on 500 corn,
which was the average price twenty
years ago? In the eighties corn was
used for fuel in the west: today there are
factories to make corn flakes and
glucose. both of which are used by
nearly every family all oyer the coun-
try His help is hard to- get. even at
double the price paid fifteen to twenty
years back. So we are not able to blame
him.
Is the packer. or as he is sometimes
called the beef trust, to blame? He
has by progressing with the times been
able today to sell TO the retailer, and
does sell him much chea per than he could
produce the same himself. This is be-
cause they have found outlets for all
by-product He makes soap. washing
powder, glue. bone for combs knife
handles, butterine and fertilizer and also
Il nuid medicine which is used by nearly
every surgeon in an operation to stop
the flow of blood. All these with many
other articles. are made from what used
lutionized the business to such an ex-
tent if it had not been for him all
meats would be at least one-tnrd higher
than they are today. With the ten
million more people than there were in
1900 in the United States to eat them
and the ten million less eatable animals
raised in 1909 there is bound to be a
scarcity and higher prices.
Are the retailers to blame? Secretary
Wilson says that they make 43 per
cent. Stop and think how ridiculous
II this statement was true they would
all be wealthy. Are they? Well inquire
of Dun or Bradstreet and get their
rating and see If the majority are not
only existing, instead of making this
enormous profit of AZ per cent Now
the retailers expenses are nearly
doubled the past twenty years. Where
they could get help from SIS to $40
month they are now paying s15
to- 50 week. Rents are higher
and it costs more to feed the
deliver goods. The people today re-
quire double the waiting on they did
fifteen TO twenty years ago, in that a
great many will call up on the telephone
for meat for breakfast. then later for
lunch and still later they will order
again for dinner. All this costs and
naturally adds to prices.
Is the United States government to
blame on account OF its rigid inspection
winch no doubt adds greatly TO the costs
az all meats? For our part we think
this inspection is great protection to
all mankind and that all We need is
still more rigid inspection to cover every
animal that is slaughtered for sale.
| hope all will agree that the conditions
are natural and are only the case of
supply and demand.

SINKS IN PISCATAWAY.
Schooner William Parks Will Not,
!. However. Require Assistance.

The river schooner William Parks,
which has been bringing wood cargoes
from Marshall Hall and other nearby
points along the river, is reported to be
in trouble in Piscataway creek, but her
master will require no aid from this city
A day or two ago. while lying in the
creek awaiting cargo. the vessel sprang
a leak and filled and sank before her
pumps could clear her.
She is lying, it is stated,A with her
decks just awash, and as soon as a low
tide comes she can be pumped out and
floated. She will then be put on the
shore to get at the leak, and repairs will
be made. The Parks was one of three
vessels that sailed UP the river to this
city, discharged her cargo. and got away
between the January and February
freezes. She is looked for in port here
with another cargo within the next few
days.

Holding Up of Profit

NEW YORK, July 29.-Announce-
ment was made today that the direc-
tors of the Atlas Portland Cement
company, which has a capitalization
of $12,500000, have decided to suspend
the dividend on it's common stock for
the present.
The company, which has been paying
8 per cent on it's common stock, OBJ
tained a contract from the govern
ment aggregating many millions of
dollars to furnish cement for the
Panama canal.
The company has 81, 100000 in COM
mon stock outstanding.
The notice which was sent to the
stockholders says:
'In view of the extraordinary capt.
tai expenditures, both for increase in
capacity of production at Port Hamp-
ton, Pa, and Hannibal, Mo, and erec-
ton of a new plant at Hudson, N. Y,
the board of directors has decided that
it is to your interest to suspend divf-
dends for the present in order that the
company itself may thereby care for
these extraordinary expenditures rath-
er than endeavor to finance them in
market where conditions so unfavor-
able to investment prevail.
Accordingly, until further notice, no
dividends will be paid on the common
stock of this company.

The officials of the company today
declined TO amplifiy the foregoing

Premier Asquith Announces That
Discussions May Lead to
Some Agreement

LONDON, July 29.-The conferees
of the two dominant parties who are
trying to compose the constitutional
differences of the house of lords and
the house of commons already have
succeeded in bridging several CULTS,
and a statement made by Premier AS
quith in the lower chamber this after
noon indicates that the outlook for
compromise is more hopeful, but little
Of an official character is likely to be
he ard regarding the negotiations until
parliament reassembles November 15.
Asquith, after stating that the con-
ferees in the course of twelve meet
ings had surveyed the field of contro-
versy carefully, said:
''The result Is that our discussions
made such progress-although we have
not so far reached an agreement-as
to render it, in the opinion of all of us,
not only desirable but necessary that
they should continue. In fact, I may
go further. We should think it wrong
at this stage to break them off"
The premier added that if further
deliberations showed no prospects of
an agreement that could be announced
in parliament at the present session,
the conference would be closed.
