No Doubt of a Combine Between the Big Four and Ranchers. Market butchers generally expect to do as much business on Saturday as on any other threo days of the week. There was © general complaint of stagnation to-day, which dealers attribute to the fact that beef 1s so high, Consumers are not only not buying beef, ‘but ere refraining from the use of other meats. From the Battery to Spuyten Duyvil meat dealer) are complaining that thelr is disappeart The price of cattle came down a mii yesterday, but pork went up a cent « pound, Prime cuts of beef must be sold at gilt-edged on ine cost . Ae che Investigation set on ‘foot by Secretary Morton proceeds, the part played by the millionaire magnates of Chicago in the movement that has mad boef a positive luxury is becoming more i pparent. It 1s found that in the Indian Terrl- tory, the men who h up the ranges, and sing cattle on es each as bi one of the older States, have united, and by virtue of an agreement with the Chicago Beef Trust, are holding back cattle, while the con- sumer Is paying for thelr forage and more too. The revelations of the past week forced the combine to a pretense of re- duction, and market reports indicate a slight lowering in the price of cattle. But this ts all between the Big Four and the ranchers, and does not decrease rices of dressed beef more than a hair. Dealers in this clty are wondering why it is, with all tne hurrah about the sud- den’ decline in cost of cattle, there should be practically no change in the prices of dressed beef. It Is being developed, too, that de- spite the high prices quoted in the re- ori, Independent cattle-raisers have been unable to get them. Apparently the rise of one-half to three-fourths of a cent, has only been on paper, or has beon a matter simply between the Beef Trust and its own cattle-raise Sold Like This.
