There Is a steady supply and the
prices are comparatively low. The
highest price for beef year ago was
twenty cents a pound. now II is only
about fifteen cents. There is some
hay left over from last year, SO that
II will not be necessary TO kill of an
unduly large number of animals; but
ii is practically certain that meat will
be for sale at reasonable prices for
