PRICES OF NEAT C0 STILL RICHER From Two to Five Cents a Pound to Be Added to All Grades Before the Approach- ing Holidays. “SCARCE,” SAY THE DEALERS Representatives of Western Packing- Houses Give the Same Old Ex- cuse for Forcing New Yorkers to Pay Their Exorbitant Rates, Added to their troubles caused by the ‘high price of coal, the residents of this elty are facing the probability of an- ether advance of two to five cents a pound on all kinds of meat Despite the encouraging reports from Kansas City that the prices of beef and pork sre from three to five cents a pound lower In the packing-houses than they were last the New York rep- Tesentatives me firma are holding the prices about the same quotations prevalled last summer. The reason for re that his, they assort, the scarcity of cars In which to ship the meat from the Western points and the consequent small supplies in al} ot the Eastern cities, By Christmas-time the price will advance because of the €reater demand and the inadequate supply. The consumer is now paying 12 cents for chuck steak, 18 cents for sirloin and from 2 to 22 cents for porterhous2, while pork costs him at least 14 cents per pound. Meat Better, They Say. The only consolation offered the con- sumer for the expected rise in prices fa that the beef and pork are of better quality than he has been receiving abitherto, as the cattle and hogs are tow being fed on corn instead of being | turned out to graze and forage for thempeives. “The etorm in the West is responsible for the high prices of beef in this city," said Thayer H. Wheeler, manager of the Hammond Packing Company, at No. §2 Tenth street. Beef had declined three cents wince July, but advanced again on ee smail supply and the great demand this olty. When it is coneidered that the beef offered now is much better quality than that obtainable a few weeks @go, the disparity in the price is not so Great. “Everyone is anxious to buy deef, as ‘the prices of poultry, butter and egss are so high and there is not enough beef to be had. There will, therefor, be an e@dvance in prices before Christmas un- fess the cattlemen in the West manage to get more cattle to market than are meeded, which is not very likely.” ‘Walter Pavitt, manager of Nelson, Borris & Co.'s New York house, sald ‘the expected advance In due to the fact ‘that the farmers eeldom ship any cattle o.the markets during the holiday week. Beef Supply Short. “The New York market,’ he added, oe almost devold of beef as a result of gpereenalt shipments, and the storm in Vest may prevent large consign- 3 from reaching here for several weeks,” Charles Mantor, Asslatant-Syperin- dendent of Swift ‘& Coa main omces we the price of beef Is always high dur- ing the holidays, ay the highest grades grades only are sold.

Nittinger, who put the question. Mr, Rockefeller was not present yes- terday. The class was led by the pastor of the churmh, the Rev. Dr. R. P. John- son, who took up the lessons found in Plinte's's condemnation of Christ. He was showing how Pilate hesitated to condemn one whom he knew Innocent, but how the stronger motive of desire to be popular with the Jews led him to the judgment which brought him into infinite disgrace. In the discussion which followed F. A. Nittinger, of No, 162 West Fifty- third street, rose and asked this question: “Is not President Roosevelt, in the stand he took In the coal strike, holding the same position as Pilate and causing many ta suffer ‘cause he feared to lose his power?” The minister hesitated for a moment and then replied: “I don't see how the President could help the coal ike. “You don't because you don’ The Invitation to keep still was imperative, and Mr. Nittinger sat down. it was Mr, Nittinger who gave the following answer to Mr. Rockfeller him. self at a recent meeting of the class, and recelved a personal invitation. to come again as @ result of 4 be feller asked “What in hypocrayte ol is systematically Mlehing” The fife. sub- stance out of the and givin, back a emai per cent. pabtished freee charits a Ni ete replied. id Mr. Nittinger later, they’ considered “my talk too sharpiy to wis Fount or something of that sort, no intention of Bel ‘aisiopalt or disrespectful, I love President Roosevelt for many things he has done, but I believe precisely what I began to say in the class thts ‘morning.
