PRICE OF MEATS
MAY DROP SOON,
DEALERS THINK
Local Retailers Say Packers
Have Been Caught With Big
Stocks on Hand.

The wholesale price of meats came
down slightly today. There is also
a promise that there will be b radi-
cal lowering of the retail fig6res be-
fore the end of the week. As yet the
merchants in Centre Market have not
lowered their prices, but they prom
Use to do so as soon as possible.
I'VE have been selling all meats on
too narrow a margin to be able to
take advantage OF the slight shading
in the price of beef and mutton yet. :
said dealer, ebut we hope that there
will be further reduction in a day
or so.
Heretofore we were not able To
make a living profit, but knowing
that the figures demanded by the
packers represented an artificial val
uation of their product we held close
as we could and kept the prices down
to hold our trade.
I'VE believe that the present re-
duction Is only a promise of what is
to come. 1t is our belief that the
packers boosted the prices on US, ex-
pecting to hold out for large ship
ments abroad. Now they realize that
the time when they can ship to Eu-
rope is far distant and they are go
ing to be reasonable"
The price of pork remains the same
as it was last week, when 1t took
a phenomenal rise. This. however. af-
fects the housewives but little as
pork consumption is very light at this
season. Fruits and vegetables re-
main plentiful and cheap. 1t may be
that this, inducing as it does, a con-
consumption of these food
stuffs in place of meat, has caused
the wholesalers to see the light of
reason.
The wheat market is steadying, APP
parently preparing for a drop. A
merchant said today that
he believed that the gradual lowering
in the price of wheat was due to the
fact that people generally were recov-
ering from the panic that struck
them when the European war began.
1.-The wheat gamblers, too, are
realizing that they have assumed a
larger contract than they can carry.
When the fall deliveries begin, | be-
lieve that they will find their hands
full, and then prices Will fall with a
thud. There is bound to be cheap
wheat this fall.
The American Sugar Refining Com
pany has addressed a letter to
grocers. in which 1t is declared that
the increase in the price of sugar Is
due to the war abroad. The letter
says that the war will mean a ire
mendous loss to the European sugar
beet crop and resulting increase in
the price of raw sugar. The countries
now in the throes of war or affected
by it furnish S,254.70O tons of sugar
yearly, or about 40 per cent. of the
worlds supply.

WAR OFFICE IN
LONDON SEEMS
HOPEFUL AGAIN
Believes 4,5oo.o 900 Russians
Invading Germany Will In
sure Kaiser's Defeat.
BY the United Press.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-With the allied
lines in France and Belgium holding
fast against the German avalanche
of fighting men, and the Russian adj
vance pushing rapidly into Eastern
Prussia and Austria, the general sit
uation was much improved from the
British standpoint today.
The war office frankly admits the
result of the great battle for pos
session of the French frontier is still
in doubt. But it insists that every
hour that the German rush is with
stood, aids the allied cause. THE
entire German army Is in the field.
The constant fighting is sapping Its
strength. If it can be held in check.
even though the allies are eventually
forced back, its effectiveness will be
materially lessened."
There is no attempt, however, to
disguise the need of more men. In
the House of Commons today Premier
Asquith frankly stated that Earl
Kitchener needs every man he can
get. He said 1t was a mistake to be-
lieve only 10000 men were needed.
The war secretary wants 100000 men,
but this does not mean, the premier
said, that all are destined for foreign
service. But he explained that 1t is
the intention of the government to
have an effective fighting force devel-
oped ready for any contingency. So
far as the enlistment Of men between
thirty and forty is concerned, the pre-
mier says the matter has not yet
been disposed of.
The premier also announced that
the Germans in German Togoland,
Africa, have offered to surrender, but
of pntynIaH with dam a nd q
for terms which will not be granted.
Only unconditional surrender will be
considered, he said.
In connection with the activity of
the Russians, the Russian minister
of war is quoted in official dispatches
as saying that within the next fort
night Russia will have upwards of
100000 men in Germany and half
that number in Austria"
The giant force, British military
experts believe, will turn the tide of
battle in favor of the allies, as Ger
many must withdraw much of her
force from the west to cope with it.
The fact that it Is announced from
Berlin that all German boys between
the ages of sixteen and twenty are
to be called to the colors for active
military service is regarded here as
very SlSnlncdnJ. fOllOWlnB tne mo-
bilization of the Landsturm, the
home defense force, which includes
all males up to forty-five years of
age, simply means that Germany,
pressed at all points, has called to
arms every male capable of bearing
arms within the empire.
There is no question here that the
Kaiser realizes the peril of the Rus
sian invasion, and that he has staked
everything on overwhelming the
French and English before the Slav
hosts can get beyond his great chain
of iefenses along the Vistula river.
But so rapid has been the Russian
advance that the British military ex-
perts say the Vistula forts will be
invested within the next few days.

APPOINTMENT OF
FIRE LIEUTENANT
RESTORES PEACE
Position Created for Reid by
Belleville counciImen Re-
fuse carragher's Resignation.

The largest gathering that ever at
tended q meeting of the Belleville
Town Council crowded the council
chambers in the town hall last night
at the prospect of fireworks" over
the appointment of Joseph Mccarthy
as lieutenant on the new fire truck
and the resignation Of Councilman
Frank J. Carragher. If they expected
rumpus they were disappointed. in
asnuch as everything went along
smoothly.
A compromise was effected In the
dispute over McCarthy's appointment
He was allowed to retain his posi-
tlons and Alexander J. Reid, for
whom a petition had been signed by
about 800 citizens, was made second
lieutenant on the truck The council
refused to accept Councilman Car
ragher's resignation.
At the last moment friends of Reid
decided to defer presentation of the
petition In his behalf. Councilman
Carragher had advocated the appoint
ment of Reid, and when his choice.
was turned down censured his COL
leagues and left the council cham
bers, threatening to resign His res-
ignation was presented last week.
When Councilman Carragher,s res
ignation came up last night Council
man Samuel y. Cathcart first sug-
gested that no action be taken in the
absence of Councilman E. o. cyphers.
Later he moved that the resignation
be not accepted. 1t was carried
una nimously
Councilman Cathcart said that in
vestigation of the neighboring fire de.
,partments, together with advice that
he had received, convinced him that
in order to man the fire truck no less
than four men would be required. He
contended that the addition of an
other man to the position of lieuten-
ant would entail no unnecessary ex-
pense on the taxpayers at large, as
a portion of his duties would consist
in caring for the fire alarm system,
now paying a salary of $500 a year.
In an effort to smooth over the
present difficulty, and in view of the
result of his investigation, he said,
another man should be appointed. He
accordingly suggested the name Of
Reid for the place. The council cur
Cured unanimously on the recon-
mendation.
Reid will receive a salary of SIS a
month, the same as Mccarthy.
When seen after the meeting Coun-
Gilman Carragher, who is under the
care of physician, said he was not
well, and would not care to say
whether he would return to the coun-
ell

BROAD STREET PAVING NEARLY FINISHED
DESPITE SHORTAGE OF WOOD BLOCKS

surface To do this various size blocks
must be used.
Between Branford place and Market
street the right hand side is paved
while the other side has been con-
GREETED only a few days. This sec
ton of Broad street, it is explained,
is to be paved with four inch wood
block. The supply ran short. 1t IS
said, and it was necessary to push
the work on other sections for which
the right material was on hand.
The work of paving Broad street
commenced the latter part OF May
and 1t was expected that it would be
finished by October 1. Many COM
plants have been received about the
manner of paving, but Mr.. Sherrerd
says the contractors did very good
work. The street will be scraped and
cleaned before il is thrown open 70

Water Department Separate.
An additional ordinance was intro
dilced for the water department ex-
penses which are not included in the
tax levy This departments expenses
are figured at 81, 73423, and the re-
ceipts in water rents finance it. Com
missioner Wethling, mead of the water
department. announced that he will
arrange in future to have water bills
paid on the first day of January,
April. July and October each year.
This will be a change from the pres
ent plan of semi-annual payments
The additional cost of collections,
$3.50 annually, will be offset Mr.
WethIing figures. by S675 interest on
the earlier payments and the citizens.
he believes, will prefer four small
bills to two large ones each year. The
department also will have the advan-
tage of the earlier payments. Resi-
dents will get thirty days grace after
the bills are submitted.
Mayor Minahan advised Mr.. Weth-
ling that his prices for manufacturers
who used half a million gallons OF
water annually seemed very high and
asked him to reshape the items. Miss
Margaret II. Pierson asked the mayor
to appropriate 500 for visiting nurses
work for the city poor. The COM
mission win consider the request. The
commissioners agreed for an ex-
change of sewer facilities between
Orange and West Orange in Argyle
avenue and Meade street, Commits
sioner Wethling having secured
change in the cost of the drain in the
latter street making the city's share
but one-third Of the cost.
