INCREASE OF PRICES TWO
CENTS IN A WEEK,

Washington market prices represent
the minimum for good grades of meat
In this city. Porterhouse steaks are
selling for rs cents pound. an in
crease OF cents since last week.
These same steaks In upper west side
butcher shops are selling as high as
80 and 3S cents a pound. Sirloin steaks
are selling for 20 cents pound. an
increase OF 2 cents since last week.
These stocks are selling from IS to
30 cents in the higher class residential
sections.
Prime ribs are "a cents a pound. an
other increase OF . cents. Chick steaks
are 20 cents a pound and the retailers
say there Is no profit at that. Lamb
has increased 81 a hundred pounds to
the retailers since last week. This
means that the minimum prices for
lamb cuts are: headquarters, y cents
a pound; loin lamb chops, 20 cents a
pound: French or rib lamb--chops, 20
cents a pound. Lamb has gone up a
cent pound to the consumer since
last week.
Pork Is not increasing In price to any
noticeable extent. This Ia due to the
fact that in the hot weather less pork
Is consumed. The minimum price for
pork chops Is eighteen cents u pound
and for pork roasts sixteen cents a
pound. =

think We will ever again see a cheap
market. As 1t It Is, the retailer is
lucky to make any profits
Il. M. Bell, manager for Swift & Co,
No. los Barclay street. blamed the
farmer and the consumer for the hlg.,
prices. He also said he did not think
meat prices would be lower within
eight months.
Last fall the farmers got rid Of
their surplus stock and sold their
feed" said Mr.. Bell. and as a result
we had cheap meat. Now that the
stock has been reduced prices are
bound to be high. and to remain so
until new stock Is ready for market.
IT takes three years TO raise a steer
for the market. and the population OF
the country Is increasing out of pro-
portion to the number of steers
raised.
RECORD PRICE PREVAILS FOR
STEERS ON hooF.
The record price Of 9% cents Is being
paid for beef on the hoof. This means
is to Is cents pound dressed. The
shrinkage Is great. A 1900 pound steer
will lose almost 800 pounds dressed. Teen

other shrinkage. Take a hindo uartsi,
for instance; when the suet. flank. shin
and rough fat have been removed the
retailer finds his hindquarter has shrunk
tremendously. For instance. IL hs pur-
chases hindauarter at 1871 cents n
pound, he will find after dressing II
that its cost IL increased to 10 cents a
pound for what is left. Steaks on this
hindquarter must sell from 81 to Is
cents to give even a bare profit"
Mr.. Bell was OF the same opinion a;

the consumer was largely responsible
because OF the incessant demand fol

packing houses.

MEAT PRICES SOAR
. TO HIGHEST MARK
SINCE CIVIL WAR
Consumer Partly to Blame for
Buying Only Choice Cuts,
Says Butcher.

Beef is selling at a higher price to-
day than at any time, since the Civil
War. and the end Is not in sight.
Even the most optimistic dealers say
that II will be six or eight months be-
fore there is an appreciable reduction,
and. meanwhile. the cost will soar
even higher than 1t is at present The
retail dealers say they are making
barely their expenses, and tho whole
salers say they are losing money, In
some cases. All sides blame the high
cost of beef on the farmer and on the
consumer.
A tour through Washington market
to-day revealed that prices in almost
all grades of meat have increased
from to cents n pound over last
weeks prices. Record prices prevail
everywhere in the meat trade. Live

THE BAR AND THE RECALL.

Twenty-Five leading members OF III
New York bar have signed a call L
the members OF the legal fraternity il
that city for corporation in the worl
Of organizing the profession through
out the country FOR effective opposition
to the present agitation in favor o.
the recall of judges.
Following is part Of the circular
letter signed by the twenty-five:
The undersigned believe it TO be the
especial duty Of lawyers to uphold
the independence Of the judiciary and
TO aid in preserving the guarantees
Of the Constitution. We believe fur
Their. with President Taft:
Cd That no system could be devised
better adapted than the recall" TO
deprive the judiciary Of that inde-
pendence without which the liberty
and other rights Of the individual can
not be maintained. and
CD That the proposed method OF re-
versing judicial decisions by popular
vote lays the axe at the foot Of the tree
Of well-ordered freedom and subjects
the guarantees Of life. liberty and prop
erty, without remedy, TO the ftful i'm
pulse Of a temporary majority.
Two things in connection with this
are worthy Of note. one is
that II is non-partisan The other is
that its leaders declare themselves I'm
line with President Taft President
reft is today not only the strongest
Republican, but the strongest Ameri-
AN, in that he commands undoubt-
edly a larger measure Of nom partisan
approval than any other individual
The circumstances point with growing
certainty to his nomination by the
