The effect OF the new tariff bin as
regards beef will be first felt in Rich

pected that a drop of at least three
cents on the pound Will he noted
This is the estimate of several butchers
who declare that Norfolk is already
feeling the influx of beef from Aus
tralia and other countries and that
the shipments from these cargoes will
arrive in this city by that time.
This opinion seems to be held by
the majority of the retailers and
smaller butchers. but several repre-
sentatives of the larger packing houses
stated yesterday that they expected
no noticeable reduction.
Shortage Great One.
1t was stated by a representative
of George c, Bulls market that the
shortage of beef this year totaled g.
100000 pounds and this could not
be made up by the foreign shipments
sufficiently to lower the cost to the
consumer, even at the lowered tariff
rates.

ket. however, a much more optimis-
tic point of view was taken and the
representatives of this firm announced
that a portion of the recent ship
ment received in Norfolk was ex-
pected here this afternoon ana ne
thought it would be sold at prices
considerable under those which have
been charged of late.
According 10 reports from the sea
side town. the Australian beef which
has begun TO ariT<e there is SO a
hundred pounds less than the Ameri-
can product and il the tariff is taken
off before the next consignment reach
