There has been long and unex-

but this delay will not prejudice the
interests of those interested In the
estate, as II is not likely that there
will be large surplus after his DEBTS
have been paid. and there might even
be a deficit. The will was executed on
August 80, 1912. but subsequent to
that date General Sickles lost much
of his property through proceedings TO
collect debts he owed on MORTGAGE

MEAT PRICES

Supply Is Low.

Doubt as TO whether the quarantine
declared in eleven states and the clos

result of the foot and mouth disease,
would affect the price of meat IN this
city WAS as uncertain as ever yester-
day.
The Representatives OF the local
wholesale meat packers said there was
plenty of meat on hand. They attribute
the threatened rise OF meat prices TO
the retailers, who say the dressed beef
in storage is far below normal and that
there is every indication of = meat
shortage.
Reassurances that New Workers will
not be affected was given yesterday by
DR.. John d. Dunkle, chief inspector Of
the New York branch of the Bureau Of
Animal Industry. He said rise in the
price Of beef and other meats on the
pretence that the quarantine had Gre
ated a shortage would be an attempt 10
gouge the public.
Plenty of dressed beef is coming
from Chicago, Kansas City and Omaha
he said, land the government reports a
plentiful supply of livestock for
slaughter in the West. Within a few
days transportation OF considerable
livestock to Eastern points will be ar
ranged. There may be some falling off
in the finest grades Of beef, but the
grades used by the average consumer
will not be affected
There is no need for any uneasiness
concerning the local milk supply in
