WASHINGTON, March 19.-Presi-

" against dollar diplomacy"
Following conference with his cab

loan Of 1925, 100000 to China, and would
not in this or any other manner seek to
collect private debts by the influence

The policy Of protecting through the
influence Of the government, loan en-
terprises Of American banking firms
abroad was part Of what was often
referred to as dollar diplomacy and
which reached it's height during the
Taft administration.
Taft Requested Loan.
In his statement declaring the sus-
pension OF dollar diplomacy Presi-
dent Wilson said.
We are informed that at the re-
quest OF the last administration Ger
tain group Of American bankers under

sired by the government of china Gap

our government wished American
bankers to participate along with the
bankers Of other nations because it de-
sired that the good Will Of the United
States toward China should be eNhib

The administration has declined tc

The conditions Of the loan seem to

PRICE OF MEAT ADVANCES.
Shortage In Supply Causing Hisher
Wholesale Prices Is Reason.

Calumet meat dealers have an
nounced increases of from two To three
cents per pound in the retail price of
all beef, veal, pork and mutton. While
the increase IS general it affects
grades differently, some of the ad-
vances being only one cent but i'm
most instances two and three cents.
Shortage in supply is given as the
reason for the advance, the whole
sale prices having advanced material
ly during the last few weeks. The lo-
cal dealers hope however, that the
higher prices will be of short dura-
tion.
The Quello market is notifying !ts
patrons that all business will hereafter
be conducted on a cash basis. The ell
imination of delivery expense as a re-
suit of this action will make possible
reductions from prevailing prices.
