The Condition In ottumwa

The decline in pork and beef prices
has not yet been felt to any great ex.
tent by the consumer in OttumWa, but
retail! dealers state that the drop will
come shortly. Mprrell & Co. announce
that the price of hogs has been on
downward tendency for some time,
noticeable every week, but that the
drop in beef Is not SO noticeable.
Charles Eaton, buyer for the meat
department of the Globe Tea Co..
states that the wholesale price of
pork has declined almost one cent, but
that the drop has not been felt in the
choice cuts of pork because of the fact
that the retail price is gagged by the
supply and demand. In other words,
If the market is strong for pork loins,
and the supply is not equal to it, the
price necessarily is somewhat high.
He expects the retail prices on beef to
show a drop within a short time.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE following
statement by Theodore Roosevelt, his
first comment since the recent cleo
lions, will be in forthcoming issue
of the Outlook:
ION ever hand, personally and by
correspondence, l have been asked to
make statement regarding the cleo
ton. So far as am concerned
have nothing whatever to add or TO
take away from the declaration OF the
principles which ! have made IN the
Ossawatomie speech and elsewhere
east and west during the last three
months. The fight for progressive
popular government has merely be-
gun and will, certainly go on to tri-
urnphant conclusion in spite of ini-
tial checks and irrespective of the per-
sonal success or failure of individual
leaders"
