PRICES OF MEAT AND PROVISIONS TO GO TO A SOMEWHAT
 LOWER LEVEL.
BEEF STILL AT TOP COST
Choice Cuts Continue to Sell Above Last Years Quotations and Drop Is Chiefly in Pork-Further
 Reductions Expected.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-There is a ray of hope ahead for the poor ultimate consumer in the matter of the cost of living, in the prediction that further decline in the price of meats is prob able, in addition to the slight reduc- tions made within the last two weeks. Packers attribute the slump in the meat market prices to the bumper crop of corn and the normal prices prevailing for that cereal
 The decline in the prices of meats is more noticeable in the case of pork products than in beef or mutton. Beef prices remain about the same, although some butchers are charging more for choice cuts than they did a year ago. and the packers look for a slight advance, as the supply will be- come scarce during the winter months.
 Pork About Three Gents Lower.
 Pork generally is about 2h to 3 cents a pound lower than it was in August Pork loins, which sold at 16 cents, now sell for II cents. Lard has DtCn lNuuCtu lIOin 10 u 10 C6AlS. Bacon still maintains it's high price, but packers say this price will decline as soon as the meat now cured is placed on the market
 Mutton shows but q slight decrease, from II and Il cents to g and 10 cents. Lamb had dropped from II to 12 cents.
 Sirloin steaks, sold in August for IS and 20 cents, may be had for 16 to 23 cents, tenderloin steaks which were 20 cents in August, are now 15 and 1712 cents. Porterhouse cuts show the same relative decrease. Chuck steaks may now be had for S1s cents, where they formerly brought 10 cents, and round steaks have dropped from 16 to 20 cents in August to l5 and Is cents.

STANDARD OIL WINS POINT
Judge in Indiana Case Fixes Highest Penalty at $92o,ooo Instead
 of $3o,oO0, ,OOO

Jackson. Tenn. Nov. 1.-The in- dictment of the Standard Oil company of Indiana on the Grand Junction con cession charge, now stands shorn of it's magnitude.
 In a ruling Judge John Mccall of the United States circuit court de- clared the maximum penalty that could be imposed was s920,000 in- stead of S30,0S4, 900, as the prosecu- ton planned.
 The ruling was based on point Of law, that a settlement of concession and not an individual shipment con- stituted an offense against the Elkins act. The prosecution is discouraged, but will proceed with all the evidence in the case.

ENGINEERS CONFIDENT THAT ORIGINAL ESTIMATES WILL
 COVER TOTAL COST.
PRESIDENT IS A CLIMBER
struggles Over soulders and Scales Dams, Though the Heat Is Try ing, but He Wants to See
 for Himself.

Panama, Nov. 17.-It IS now said that work on the canal has made such progress that the undertaking will be completed by December, 1913, CT more than year ahead of the official date of it's opening. Convincing assurance of this was received by President Taft during an inspection of the Gatun dam.
 Moreover. this result will be accom- plished, unless unforeseen difficulties arise, without an extra appropriation of S100,000,000 The canal officials are confident that the original estimate of $375000,000 will cover the total cost.
 It is no secret that President Taft regards it as his especial mission to build the canal so expeditiously and economically that it's success will be unquestioned.
 Wants to See for Self.
 Proof of Taft's eagerness to see for himself how the work is progressing was presented by his ordering an early breakfast and starting from Gu lcbra at a. m. on special train, on which he crossed the isthmus to Ga tun, with Col. Goethals, Mai. Hodges and the other head engineers and Ad- miral Staunton, all of whom he piled with questions concerning the most minute details
 Although the heat soon became Y,.N hn observation platform, dressed com pletely in white watching the activi- ties along Gatun. Several halts were made, the longest at Gatun, where he scrutinized every level of the famous dam. He alighted at lock approaches and made his way laboriously over boulders, mud and sand. He was pho- tographed with a broad smile of satis- faction Illuminating his face. He learned from the engineers that half of all the dams, three-quarters of all the excavations and a third of all the concrete work was done on the canal, and the entire jcb will surely be com pleted late in 1913
 The engineers say that the whole question of construction is one Of mag nitude rather than of engineering diff culties and that many more obstacles than are presented here have been overcome in subway construction work in New York city.
 Preparing for Tolls.
 Col. Goethals told the president that the informal opening of the canal in 1919 nscessitates immediate action relative to tolls, because IS months will be required by shipping interests to adjust their rates 10 the new rout- ing.
 In the evening the president ad- dressed the Americans engaged in the work at q reception by the Young Mems Christian Association and the Red Cross
