In the trotting horse everything has

Ne WARK FACING
Ne VI RECORD FOR
PRICES OF MEAT

Newark is face to face with high
prices in the meat market that give
promise of topping the record of TWEEN
ty-five years. For the last two weeks.
said a Centre Market dealer today, the
wholesalers have been adding cent or
two every few days, until now the
increases amount to from 10 to so per
cent. in the wholesale prices.
There is only one way we can meet
these wholesale increases and that is
by raising the prices on the best cuts
and leaving the inferior grades at
present prices. We used to be able to
sell all our stew and soup meats along
with the steaks and roasts. Now
everybody wants the best cuts, and we
are left with the inferior grades on
our hands. This means that we have
to charge more for the steaks and
roasts.
II don't know why there should be
this sudden boost in prices. for usually
at this season of the year meat is
cheap. The wholesalers each give us a
different story; some say they haven't
got the meat, others that they can't
get it to us, but the real reason is
that they are holding back until the
greater demand in winter. and creating
scarcity in the Eastern States for
the sake of putting up the price. Same
old story of the meat trust"
