Chicago, ILL.,, April S0.-While pri-

fractionally lower here than in New
York, according to the quotations tel
egraphed from that city today, In
Chicago they attained figures approx
mating the highest known in the last

tailers profess to be greatly alarmed
over the situation. Within the next
few weeks, it is predicted by but
cheers and packers, prices something
like the exorbitant rates Of civil war
times may prevail The wholesale
price of dressed beef in the local
markets today was twelve cents
pound, an advance Of two cents in a
week The advance in the price OF
lamb was even more marked. II
sold at fifteen cents, wholesale, as
against ten cents a week ago. Dress
ed sheep sold at twelve cents a
pound, while the price short time
ago was six cents.
Packers say that cattle are not
coming in from Texas, owing to lack
of rain. The cold winter killed of
about 10 per cent of the live stock on
the Western plains. Added to all
these things is the high price OF corn
and all kinds of stock food.

Senator, Crane was cut worse than
the other men on the Taft ticket, but
every man on the Roosevelt ticket is

OF the district delegates, 16 are for
Taft and 10 for Roosevelt, with the
two from the eighth district in doubt
The Taft leaders claim this district,
and if their claim proves good, the
state will split exactly even, giving
Taft IS and Roosevelt Is.
Taft delegates were elected in the
LIST, End, 3rd, 9Th, 18th, 18th and 18th
districts. The Roosevelt men were
elected in the 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th and
14th districts.
The eighth district is so close that
ii will require a recount. The Taft
leaders claim the district, but figure
that the second man on their ticket
has a plurality Of only three votes
On the preference end Of the ballot,
Taft has plurality of over 5000 and
this will be made the basis of con-
test, declares Gen. Champlin, head of
the Taft league.
Fall River went strongly for Taft,
giving him 3056, to 1900 for Roose-
welt. Brockton gave Roosevelt 2043
and Taft, 1858. Taunton gave Taft
1913, and Roosevelt 1923. The vote
