PRICE OF BEEF IN LONDON.

In IL letter published in an eastern
Journal a few days ago. the writer
suggested that the cause of the
high price of meats might be due to
an artificial scarcity created Ly the
enormous export of that article from
this country to Europe for
the purpose of So reducing the sup
pl. in this country as to have the
American consumer at the mercy OF
the beef %bArons."
MI If Tia" data bearing on the
question raised in the communicating
are not readily available, but it does
MOI require the data in detail tn clear
up th" situation. The genera facta
speak for themselves.
The official returns for the eleven
expired months of TIL" last statis-
teal year show that the imports of
foreign fnodstuffs were $4,000 900 in
excess of the same period for last
Year. thus substantiating previous re
ports that the high prices due to a
short crop last Year were opening u
markets to foreign products on a
scale never before recorded. The duty
of twenty-five" cents n bushel on po-
tatoes WAS wiped out by the rise, and
heavy shipments We're made from
Scotland and elsewhere at a good
profit. Had the price of meat been
quoted at two cents less than the
New York price. the foreign article
. could have been laid dow in New
York in competition With the home
product. as was done in 1910 to some
extent.
Our packers cannot sell cheaper in
London than here in times of scare
lily. Like the independents. they buy
on the hoof. and today are paying
sixty per cent more on the ge
than last fall. This is owing to the
famine price for corn in the cattle
country. and many r~aisers are ont of
pocket ON the year. The war in
Mexico cut off the supply from he
southwest, the principal primary
point and the only source of impor-
tations on Il large scale.
ether countries are on the same
footins as Mexico. but their surplus
stock is necessArily limited. Canada's
population is a million less than the
single state of New York. and the
same is true Of Australia. How far
would the combined supply from
those countries GO toward meeting
the wants of our market? Much has
been said about getting cheap meat
from Argentina IF only the tariff be
taken Off" But the public has been
badly mislcd as 10 the facts with re-
spect to ~.Arsentina's beef supply. The
National Irovisioner. a trade journal.
throws light on that subject in the
current number. The is
much concerned over the failure of
Argentine meat to command fair
prices in European markets. The
trouble is poor quality and inability
To compete with American and Aus
ttalian meats. 1t is doubtful if they
would be found 'salable here. at ANY
old price"
London is not within several thou
sand miles of the actual seat of our
meat problem. Anti-tariff agitation
would make it appear that many of
our products are sold abroad in order
to force famine prices in this country.
but the higher prices in London and
the %dwindlins exports from America
take all the starch out of that line of
argument. Give us two 5000. 0N0, 900
bushel crops of corn and peace in
Mexico, and the solution of the vexed
problem will have been found.

WE GIVE
PERPETUAL CONTRACTS
ON DIAMONDS

In view of the fact that a
great many of our customers,
after they have bought a dia-
mond, decide that they wish
a larger one we have ar
ranged for them to return it
any time in the future and
get an allowance of the full
purchase price for it toward
a larger one. BY this plan it
is possible for one to event
ually own as large a stone as
they may wish. and at the
same time their payments be
reduced 10 a minimum. AS
an example, on a $50 stone
we would only require $15
cash, and allow the purchaser
to extend the remaining $40
over a period of months best
suited. After this stone is
paid for, which you have had
the pleasure of wearing in
the meantime, we will allow
You the full price of $50 for
it toward a larger one, and
so on, making exchanges as
long as you so desire.
If it is not possible for You
to visit our store let us send
YOU a selection package,
from which you can choose
as satisfactorily as if you had
visited our establishment.
