ARGENTINA BEEF
AS Al LTERNAT|VE
TO HIGH PRICES
Newark Dealer Says It Is Plen-
tifuI and GOOD as cUstfy
Western Meat.

Unless people take to eating Argen-
tina beef more generally than they do
now the outlook is that the price Of
Western beef. which has reached the
highest point SO far this year will
soar to a still higher figure.
Argentina beef. at wholesale. costs
eight and one-ha1f cents a pound;
Western beef is selling as high as
thirteen and one-half cents to fifteen
cents.
These are packing house figures and
apply only to purchasers of whole
steers. Retail prices, of course, are
considerably higher.
At Armours, in this city. surprise
was expressed that the consumers of
beef do not take more kindly to
Argentina beef.
supply Is Falling.
THE supply from that country is
practically inexhaustible," said an
ing Star reporter. "and in taste and
nourishing qualities there is abso-
lutely no difference between the two
classes of meat.
The only difference is that Argen-
tina beef is frozen and consequently,
when it is cut. some water comes
from 1t and vets the butchers block.
Some years ago, when we first be-
gan getting Western beef. the same
difficulty was experienced. People
seemed to have a prejudice against
il. Just why. I never was able to
discover But. anyway, this aver
sion wore off in time. and now West
ern beef is supreme here.
supply Inexhaustable.
Zone of the reasons for the in
creasing price of Western beef is the
scarcity of the supply. In the six
great Western markets last week
there were $4,000 fewer heads of cat
tie than in the preceding week. Such
a falling off. of course, cannot but
affect the price.
The official said the decrease in
the number of cattle was due to de-
flciency in the corn supply. the 1913
harvest not having been sufficiently
abundant.
He said that as a result of the
shortage his company was receiving
an average of only forty-five TO fifty
five carcasses as compared to an
average a year ago OF 145 to $50.
Lamb, too. is very high, selling at
fourteen to seventeen cents a pound,
by the entire lamb. Mutton. whole
sale. is nine to ten cents a pound.
Practically the same figures ans
explanation was made by other
wholesale concerns.
Retailers scout the idea that Argen-
tina beef is so very much cheaper
than Western beef
why, the difference in the price
is only about two cents" said one Of

BLACK ROCK WINS BATTLE AGAINST
 LIQUOR LICENSE

Black Rock residents who opposed the application. of former Alderman Sven B. Murberg for wholesale beer license at wilson street, are jubilant over a. decision handed down by Judge Futile of the superior court in which he reverses the decision of the county commissioners in granting the license. Judge Futile finds the location is un- suitable for a. license. The matter came before the court as Harry F. Par sells appeal from the commissioners.
 The court mentions the fact that the testimony showed the commissioners had twice refused a license, though not of this particular kind. in the same building. It was also alleged in the appeal that the section Is not effcient- Iy policed but the court does not pass upon this point. Murberg contended that he wished to sell nQuor only In packages and it was not to be drunk on the premises. The court finds uni der the statute that commissioners have no authority to issue a license of that kind.
 Rev. H. c. woodruff, a pastor of the Black Rock Congregational church, and William T. Washburn, New York lawyer, who has a. summer home in Black Rock, led the remonstrance.

 WON'T HURT RESIDENTS

Declaring that the music of the mer- ry-go-round at Roton Point did not infict any great hardship upon neaHby residents, Judge Futile of the superior court today refused to grant a tenn porary injunction to George c. Beach and other wealthy New workers who have summer homes near the Norwzlk summer resort. The proceedings were brought against Neville Bayley of the Gorge Scenic Water Ride CO, which operates a roller coaster and merry go-round.

Judge Tutt1e finds that over S75yooo is invested in the amusement enterprises and as the amusement season has only seven weeks more to run he does not think any great harm win be done in that time.
