NEW CASTLE, Jan. 26-"Tall1 about
the price Of meat" said a well-known
resident here last night, 'why it is
easily explained You see herring
were late in getting to Delaware City
last year and but few were salted.
Hardly any Of the twin-eyed beef steak
came to New Castle, and for one did
not put up my half barrel. AS a re-
suit it is buy meat or turn a vegetar-
ian. Shad were too dear last spring
to salt. There is mackerel sailing
away up and all the other fish"
