WILL PUT INCREASE INTO EFFECT TO-DAY Trust Also Looking Out for th Poultry and Egg Market, with the Intention to Create an Artificial Price There Too. The raising of prices by the Best Trust, which has been expected since the middle of the winter, has come at fast and although its refrigerators in this section are glutted with beef and mutton and its sources of supply in the West finaffected it has put up fresh meat from. a quarter to half @ cent, so that wholesale quotations to-day are ruling at seven and a half and eight cents the pound. That means that if the butchers have to pay more for their meat they will have to charge their customers more. A manager of one of the big Jersoy City refrigerators is authority for the statement that there are 5,000,000 pounds of meat in storage in Chicago and millions more in Kansas City, Omaha, St. Joseph (Mo.), Huteninson (Kan.) and the other big centres which supply this’ market.

RK. Thomas made a somewhat sp tacular entrance ‘into turf ciroles last April when he purchased from John Madden the racers Pentecost, Dimple, Buttons, Onatas, Yardarm, St, V.icn- ‘ine and Vagary. Pentecost only ran one race in the Thomas ¢olors, being returned to Madden. Later tn the sea- son Thomas purchased Hermis Louls V. Bell for the sum of 360,00 Hermis had won ten straight races fur Bell, but accomplished nothing in i Thomas's colors until late in the sea- son. The Morning Telegraph was started t by EB. H.
