SEE PACKERS PLOT HIS MIND BLANK
Dealers Say Meat Prices

ONLY PORK TAXES TUMBLE
They Declare Packers Are Cornering
Live Stock Market and Big Rise
Will Follow Alleged De-
cline in Prices.

Philadelphia, Nov II. 49, Wholesale
meat dealers declared that there had
been no decrease in the price Of beef.
and that there would not be any in the
near future.
Most Of them emphasized this dec
laraton by raising the price Of beef
30 cents a hundred pounds to the re-
tailers this morning. This. however,
did not cause a corresponding increase
TO the consumers.
The wholesalers are up in arms
about the statements Of the packers
that the price Of meat is going down.
saying that It hurt their business,
while the retailers are sore because
their customers have demanded
lower price for meat, while in fact
they have to pay more for It than they
did several weeks ago
The price Of prime beef has been
gradually going up for the past month.
Dealers can give no definite explana-
ton as to why this is. except to say
that when the demand is large prices
range accordingly Beef a month ago
sold for cents a pound wholesale,
then went to 81 cents and then TO .
cents and now helf cent higher. II
Is said prices will remain stationary
until after Thanksgiving.
Dealers claim there is a deep laid
scheme of the big packing companies
to corner the market and probably
clean up millions OF dollars In one
sweep. They say the packers are cir
cuatlng the stories OF reduction In
the price OF meat TO break the western
cattle markets and corner the live
stock.
When once the market Is broken
then again the big wholesale houses
will send meat prices soaring to
heights unattained even last year. the
dealers begin TO believe With their

President Plunges Into Depths OF
Culebra Cut to Inspect the Most
Difficult Work of the
Diggars.
READY IN DECEMBER. 1918

Panama, Pan, Nov. IL. - President
Taft's visit is bearing fruit, giving him
frst.hand information which will help
him to deal with the problems involy-
ed In the construction. maintenance
and control Of the Panama canal.
Onhcials on the ground are urging
the president TO recommend TO con-
gress a single-headed government for
the canal zone and full and permanent
government control of the waterway
and supply depots.
Mr. Taft is gratified over the results
Of his three days of inspection. He
went deep down in the Culebra cut.
giving especial attention to this most
difficult part of the construction.
The president was surprised TO
learn that the zone was not included
in the operations Of the postal bank
law and that some workmen believed
Wall street influences had robbed them
Of the benefit of this law.
AS a result it is probable that MIR.
Taft will urge upon congress that pro
vision be made for postal banks in
the zone.
The president heard delegations OF
mechanics and laborers who are asking
increased wages based on increases in
the United States. Conditions here diff
fer from those in the United States,
as the government cOmmissary has
been successful in preventing the in
creased cost in living that has been
general elsewhere. II Is doubtful
whether higher wages will be paid.
The Panama canal will be completed
on Dec l. 1913
