fectly legitimate for the worried house
keeper. viewing the records, to conclude
that what has happened in past years in
respect to the movement Of cattle into
the markets will repeat itself this year.
Though at six Of the principal stock mar
kets in the west, where SO, 500 head OF
cattle were received IN week at this
time last year, only 81, 100 head were re-
before. 1t Is evident. from the records Of
past years. that the receipts will begin
to grow larger and larger at the principal
markets Of the country as fall comes on.
and that by September the receipts will
be about normal again.
Higher Prices Deemed Normal.
AS to the price of beef in the markets
and to the housekeeper. figures tend to
show that there Is no rise in price es-
pecially unusual Of late. other than the
natural rise in price due to the increase
in the population Of the world and the in
ability Of the cattle raisers to keep up
the pace" There Is no mystery about
such rise in the price Of meat. especially
beef, as has taken place recently. au-
thorities say. The figures show that 1t
would seem entirely due to the falling
of in the number of cattle received for
slaughter at the markets. The real cause
Of the advance Of price seems to be the
normal one of falling off in supply with
out a corresponding decrease in demand.
Following are the bureaus record Of
pounds at Chicago during the last four or
five years:
In 1910 the average June pIce paid for
beef cattle per hundredweight at Chicago
was $500: in July. s4.s4. and in October
of the same year the price dropped to
$464. In 1911 the June price was $4.4S.
in July $4.2s and in October s4.32. In
1912 the June price was 1923. in July
$5A and in October $3.50. In 1913 the
June price was $6.O2 In July of last year
$5.9s and in October s6.O5.
Price Increase Not Large.
The June prices this year have been
1882. and this months prices are even
higher. The recent increase is only about
IS cents hundredweight for beef on the
hoof and less than three-quarters of a
cent a pound for the meat at wholesale
Despite the fact that the fall prices Of
meat last year did not take the usual
of beef in recent years. officials of the
bureau say. it is not to be too freely I'M
agined that the usual drop in prices will
not follow this year.
Many things point to the usual drop
this fall. instead of prices getting high
er. The very fact of high prices will
tend to stimulate the raising Of food anil
mails. It is believed. and this increased
production will be assisted this year by
one of the largest corn crops in the his
tory of the country.
The influx of Argentine beef cannot fail
to help the situation in this country,
many who are conversant with the situa-
ton aver. The shipments of beef to the
United States have grown tremendously
in the past few months. A year ago they

SEEKING TO AVOID
DISSOLUTION SUIT
Committee of New Haven Di-

Attorney General.
MEETING is SUGGESTED
BY COMPANY PRESIDENT
Differences Over Conditions Imposed
by Massachusetts on Sale Of
Boston and Maine.

Final effort to bring about dissolution
of the New Haven railroad system with
out suit in court will be made at a con-
ference at the Department of Justice
Monday between a committee of New
Haven directors. Attorney General Nc
Reynolds and T. w. Gregory. special as
sistant in charge of the case.
The conference was requested oy
the President OF the New Haven road.
who telegraphed Attorney General Nc
Reynolds today asking Of committee OF
New Haven directors would be received.
The telegram continued no explanation
of what plan of solution might be Of
fered.
Cause Of Differences.
The split between the Department Of
Justice and the New Haven board is
over conditions imposed by the state Of
Massachusetts on the sale Of Boston and
Maine stock owned by It, No reference
was made to the matter in the tele-
gram Department officials were at
loss today to understand what plans the
New Haven directors might have, but slt
was generally believed unless the confer
ence develops some way out of the diff
cult, acceptable to the Attorney Cen
eral, an antitrust suit to dissolve the
New Haven would be filed IN the United
States district court for the southern dis
trict Of New York by tho middle Of the
week.
New Aspect Of the Case.
The New Haven railroad case assumed
a new aspect today whom 1t became
known here that the state of Massa-
chusetts may seek to intervene after
the governments Sherman law suit to
dissolve that system Is brought. and
ask the courts to force the New Haven
to make a conditional sale OF Its Boston
and Maine stock. Massachusetts now
time. In recent legislation 1t preserved
that right, but gave permission to
the New Haven to sell.
The New Haven board OF directors
refused to accept that legislation. and
now Massachusetts Is understood to
be fearful lest that right be endan-
gered in the proposed litigation. 1t
is feared that II the government wins
its case the court might merely order
the sale of the New Haven's Boston
and Maine stock without restrictions.
Purpose Of Intervention.
If Massachusetts, intervened 1t
would be merely for the purpose Of
preserving its right of purchase. At
torney General McReynolds. it was
believed here today. will not object.
Plans for the governments anti
trust suit reached the stage today
where the brief in the New Haven
case was practically ready for hling.

II Is understood that the athletic commit
tees of the West Point and Annapolis

for the game in Potomac Park. These
involve the making Of a contract for the
erection of temporary frame stadium
having a seating capacity OF 1880. The
seats will be arranged in the form OF an
amphitheater and provision will be made

special guests.
It is said to be probable that the joint

ton Of a stadium to a select committee
of citizens Of the District interested in
having the big foot ball event take place
in this city and willing to give bond for
its financial success. Nothing definite on
