DROP
IN MEAT PRICES

A decline in the price Of preserved
meats, hams, bacons and the like
within six months is predicted by
Clyde D. Evans, manager Of the local
branch of the Armour company. The
Wholesale price Of ham has gone down
II cent within the last few days and
although this reduction will have little
effect upon the retail price 1t is an
indication Of the movement in the
prices of these foods, he says.
Il am pretty sure that there will
be no increase in the price OF hams
and bacon during the rest Of the year,
provided nothing unexpected hap
pens" said Mr. Evans in commenting
upon the present meat situation.
There will probably be a continued
decline in the prices Of meats in this
period.
Since the beginning Of the war
preserved meats have not risen in
price like tomatoes, corn and peas,
for instance. These vegetables have
almost doubled in price In the last
year, while meats have gone up only
about 10 per cent in price"

men to raise more animals, and the
ranchers to diversity their crops as
far as possible" declared Mr.. Evans
in commenting upon the present food
situation in the islands.
Although the price OF feed has
gone up since the war began, there
has been q corresponding rise inkthe
price Of beef and other meats, which
has allowed the cattlemen their usual
profit. There is no reason why they
should slaughter their cattle on &C.
count of the rise in prices Of grain.
Anthrax is the greatest menace to
the local meat market" said Mr..
Evans. However, they seem to have
this under control and this danger
ought soon to be eliminated.
while our prices on preserved
meats are not at all affected by the
local beef market, It is probable that
the reduction in the price Of smoked
meats means q general reduction OF
meat prices and with decline in
prices here"
The retail prices on hams and ba-
con at present are as follows: Celia
tin ham, 80 cents; Star ham, 80 cents;
Colonial ham, so cents; picnic ham,
Is cents; Shield bacon, 81 cents; Co
lonial bacon, IS cents, and boned ham,

A. E. Lloyd Says Alleged EN-

That the Charles A. Stoneham Co.

SCI, 900 and $4,000 to make good
numerous accounts of Honolulu peo-
pie said to have been wiped out by
the alleged defalcations of Lionel X.
A. Hart, former stock broker now
is the statement Of Albert E. Lloyd.
who has taken Harris place as local
representative OF the company.
In the course of Harris alleged IL
legal transactions, one stock pur-
chaser is said to have been "bilked'
out OF as much as $4,000, says Lloyd,
and losses declared to have been suf-
fered by other Honolulans run as low
as $25.
Lloyd says that Hart had worked
up a large business here, and that
between 800 and 400 accounts were
of record. When Lloyd took over the
local agency, he continues, he asked
that statements be sent him for the
adjustment Of accounts and, he adds,
only SO were forthcoming.
"0f this number" says Lloyd, "Sl
accounts have been recognized and
adjusted by stoneham and Co., and it
is likely that the other two will follow
the same course shortly"
On Harris personal account, asserts
Lloyd, stoneham and Co. was "stung"
for $4,000, and on a dummy" account
for about $4,000. Taking all these
into consideration, Stoneham and Co.
has had to make good to the extent Of
nearly $4,000, he declares.
Lloyd's explanation of Harris alleg
ed Illegal stock EIanipulations is this,
In substance.
When a patron went to Hart to
purchase stock, Hart would order It.
Within few days Hart would receive
q cablegram to the effect that he had
purchased a certain amount Of stock
costing a certain price. This stock
was purchased on the third margin,
and Hart would then call for the third
margin, which the purchaser would
pay. This was then sent on to New
York and credited to the account Of
the purchaser. The transaction thus
far, explains Lloyd, was perfectly
proper. 49, -...t ...F.
Hart speculated himself" says
Lloyd. This fact is known by the
company, as he had q personal &C.
count, and it is alleged he used dummy
accounts" 3. .......'>.
When the kaiser talked peace in
October, stocks in New York took a
big drop. and Hart was called on for
more margins for both his personal

meet either call, so he cabled New
York to sell the holdings OF such &C,
counts az we're I'm good standing, and

or TO his dummy account. "
Apparently, explains Lloyd, Hart

such accounts as had been closed and
the balance transferred, thus leaving

Early examples of the working Of the

While there is no indication that
there Is any intention on the part of
Denmark to ship any of this meal

the application will be denied unless

In the past Denmark has furnished
Germany with q large part of the
