PRICES OF FOOD
ARE GOING DOWN
Meat and Flour Much Cheaper
Local Dealers Optimistic
about Winter Prospects.

The cost OF living. at least so far as
food prices in burlington are concerned
has taken another decided slump. 1t was
not more than two weeks ago that meat
went down with a bang and now 1t has
repeated the performances Beef at whole
sale fed. Is selling as low as seven
and one half cents and tho top price Tor
the best quality is only 10 cents. Pork
has fallen off another half cent and
now stands at nine cents flat. Lambs
are down to II cents.
OF course there is corresponding de-
crease in retail prices. The straight
price for portcrhouse steak Is only p
cents and salt pork IL down to Is cents
T.. A. Chase said yesterday to rep
resentative of the Free Press that in all
probability meat would remain steady
until Easter, and that there was plenty
of II at the price.
Pork is exceedingly plenty Beef at
seven and a half cents cannot last after
the srass-fed cattle disappear from the
market but 1t is probable that it will not
go any higher than 10 cents.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH |S VERDICT OF
 CORONER
Finds Mexican Fell to Fate in Turntable Pit While
 Intoxicated

At a partial inquest yesterday over the remains of D. Villalofos, the Mexi can, who was killed by falling into the turntable pit in the Gila Valley yards it was practically established that the man met death through accident, while in an intoxicated condition.
 According to the statements of Mrs. Maria Ortiz Villafos came to her house Sunday afternoon in very besotted condition. He was so drunk that she would not permit him to remain, she claimed, aud he left the premises. Be fore leaving he stated that he was go ing to Mexican camp south of town To reach the camp he would have had to go in a general direction past the railroad yards and it is thought that he fell into the pit while wandering through the yards in an intoxicated condition, some time Sunday night.
 In the inquest yesterday, a belief was expressed by one witness that the deceased had met with foul play This theory is given little credence however, by Judge Hinson Thomas, acting coro, ner.
 In the opinion of Dr. Wales, the at, tending physician, the fall into the turntable might very easily have caused fatal injuries to the man, as he fell backwards about seven feet on the ce, ment bottom of the pit.
 The inquest will probably be complet. ed today. An adjournment was takon yesterday, after the examination of a number of witnesses, in order to se- cure additional testimony.
 It developed yesterday that Nalli- lofos came here about two weeks ago, looking for his son Jose, who was held to answer to the grand jury some weeks ago on a charge of robbery as the re- suit of his alleged action in taking a watch from another Mexican in lower Broad street saloon. The father, who was about sixty years of age, had re. mained in this city since his arrival here.
 The jury is made up of R. G. Good win, G. F. Webster, B. r. Crawford, R. l.. Pinyan, Charles T. Henry and w. C. Dalzell. ......

zine article, he gives data as to the
course of prices of number of com

trusts and part of winch are not
Prof. jerks comes to the conclusion
the increased gold supply and the con
sequently diminished value of gold is
the real cause of high prices. He holds
that in some cases the combinations
have increased prices and in some cases
have decreased them. He says:
The late general increase in prices
cannot be ascribed 70 the trusts, es-
pecially the prices that mainly affect
the cost OF living, though they are
probably responsible for a small part
OF It, The diagrams taken as whole
bear out this general conclusion, as
well as the assertion that the trusts
may and do influence the prices of
their products somewhat and in GER
tain cases materially.
On the face of things, Prof. jerks
article is an acquittal of the trusts.
In reality, it is not such. He points
out that Gin certain instances at least
the combinations have increased their
prices beyond competitive rates, and
presumably in some cases beyond what
would be considered rates sufficient to
produce a fair profit" He cites the
American Sugar Refining Company as
an instance Of this. He shows on the
other hand that some combinations
ANY depress prices and others may
steady them. On the whole, his statis-
tics merely furnish additional proof
that the prices under the trust system
are artificial prices and constitute a
strong Indictment of such a system.
