BEEF AND VEAL
SHOW INCREASE
IN PRICES HERE
Lamb and Mutton Also Go
Soaring In Matter
Of Costs.

Again contradicting all predictions OF
the wise ones, the beef and veal mar
ket has made another advance. The sit
uation Is even more serious than on
former occasions when 1t has done the
same thing, for this time lamb and
mutton have accompanied II.
The price of lamb has taken the most
decided jump in many months. A rise
of IS a hundred Is quoted on the whole
sale market and the retailers have of
COURSE advanced their price In proper
tior. Lamb chops are now worth 30
cents and are scarce at that price.
Forequarters that brought Is cents a
week ago are held for IS cents today,
and headquarters have jumped from 20
to q cents.
The advance on beef and veal is ex-
plained by the presence Of so many
Brass-fed cattle. The cheaper grade
meat has made the wholesalers skep-
tical of the local market and shipments
Of the better grades have been cur
tailed with the result that there is Il
scarcity in all the better-grade cuts.
Veal breast, which has been steady
at 121z cents, Is now worth Is cents.
Veal chops, quoted last week at Is and
20 cents, are worth from 22 to 25 cents
Outlets have risen from 25 to 30 cents;
1oin of veal cannot be bought at less
than 20 cents; porterhouse steak is back
at it's old figure, 80 cents; and even
sweetbreads have advanced 3 cents,
These figures apply only to the better
grades. Grass fed products may be
bought for less.
May Last Weeks.
Dealers are inclined to believe the
market will be unsteady for several
weeks, and that 1t is dependent upon
how soon the grass-fed cattle is ex-
hausted.
Eggs have also risen 2 cents, the first
time a change has been noted in more
than month. Best. nearby, fresh eggs
are worth q cents today against %
cents. the figure they have held nearly
all summer. No. 2 quality Is quoted at
2 cents lower. EGGS are scarcer now
than at any other time this summer,
and many dealers had to order from
Baltimore today.
The vegetable market is notably
steady, the only change being slight
drop in new potatoes. Prices on fish,
pork products and fruits remain at
practically the same figure they have
held for a week or more.
Average Prices.

TO the War Department to-day. The most
serious conflict was an engagement be-
tween about score OF insurrectos and
Luke Dove, deputy collector of GUS
toms, aided by party Of Americans be-
tween Eagle Pass, Tex, and Del Rio.

pose OF precipitating military interv.n-

0xnard Says Trust Tried to
Drive Him Out. 80.

San Francisco, July 29.-Robert Oxnard,
president of the American Beet Sugar
Company, again took the stand to-day at
the government hearing of the suit In
equity against the American Sugar Re-
filming Company brought under the Sher-
man antitrust law. Most OF the session
was taken up by controversy over the
admission Of letters and kilograms said
to have passed between Oxnard and the
late Fl. o. Havemeyer.
Oxnard said the American Beet Sugar
Company was organized in 1899 by COM
bining the FIVE plants that belonged to
himself and his brothers. The Have
meyer interests, he said. began reducing
prices in 1901 in the Missouri River terri
tory, where competition was strong. OK
nard testified that at the time raw sugar
was worth four cents a pound in New
York. It cost three-quarters Of cent TO
granulate II and the freight rates added
one third of a cent. The Havemeyers sent
the sugar into the Missouri River district
at 31a cents a pound.
I'VE were forced to store large quanti-
ties of our sugar" said Oxnard, I'VE

OIL SECRETS REVEALED
Court Hears How the Standard
Ruled Waters Pierce.

ST. Louis, July G.-Attorneys FOR H.
clay Pierce and associates revealed in
the United States District Court here to-
day the secrets OF Standard OTIS alleged
domination Of the Waters-Pierce OH Com
pe1y. The statements were made during
an argument for the defence in Henry VI.
Tilford's suit TO Gust Pierce and other
officers OF the Pierce company
Tilford. representing the Standard in
terests. alleged I'm his suit that Pierce
dominated the Pierce company and that
the concern had been mismanaged. He
seeks TO prevent Pierce and his associates
disposlng OF 10000 gold notes of the
Pierce company.
Attorneys for Pierce declared that one
Of the peculiar features OF the relations
OF the Standard and Pierce companies
was that the Standard did not permit the
st. Louis company to own refinery In
the United States, thereby compelling 1t
to purchase It's refined oil from the Stand
ard company.
The attorneys also told the court the
Standard compelled the Pierce company
TO reduce It's price to the retan t.dde
without itself suffering loss. The stand
ard, they said, made It's profit out OF the
price the Pierce company was compelled
to pay for It's refined product.
The Pierce company was permitted 10
operate a refinery In Mexico. according 10
the attorneys. but the product Of that re-
finery was not sufficient 10 supply more
than the Mexican trade.
One of the contentious OF Tllford In
charging acknowledgement OF the Waters
Pierce company by Pierce was that the
company had built a refinery In Okla
homa The building, Of this refinery, ac-
cording to the attorneys, was necessary
for the Pierce company 10 get out of the
clutches of the Standard company.
Attorneys charged that when the gov
eminent ordered the dissolution Of the
Standard Oil Company the contract be-
tween the Pierce and the Standard COM
panies compelling the former to buy its
product from the latter remained In effect
1t was then, the attorneys said, the Pierce
company bought the refinery In Okla
homa.
The charge also was made that the
Standard tried to inJure the business Of
the Pierce company by sending Its agents
through the country telling the trade II
sold the Pierce company its refined oil.
and It therefore could undersell the Pierce
company.
