BAYS MUCH MEAT 18 SOLD AT LESS THAN PRICE ASKED. “That goes a great way,” satd Mr. Higgins, smiling, “in making an esti- mate of a sub-manager's worth to us. But more meat is sold at less than the asking price than is sold at the level fixed or above it.” “To what do you attribute the unl- formity of the prices asked by your- self and other packers?” was the next question. \ “To the fact that all packers are confronted by the same conditions and reach the same inevitable conclu- sions,” eaid Mr. Higgins. “What circumatances of supply and demand warrant the recent sharp rine in prices?” asked Magistrate McAdoo. “The supply has been short,” said ‘and the demand haa Under these circum- asked Mr. De was £100 at work, present the delivery force Is working until nearly midnight, trying to keep | us with orders. Samuel F. Boyd, of Acker, Merrall & Condit Company, said the buyers of the concern began heavy purchase of sugar on inside tips July 14 wi the price wan $4.90 per hundred. The | price rose ten cents July $1 after purchase of 300 barrels and the con- cern immediately bought 600 barrels more. There was another jump of ten cents Aug. 10 and the next day ly by another jump of fifty cents. Retail prices had been kept propor- |tlonately ahead of the purchasing price. |SUGAR ROSE FROM $4.40 TO §7.50 A BARREL. Teatimony regarding sugar was also taken by District-Attorney Youngs in the Federal Grand Jury investiga- tlon, A representative of Samuel Winston & Co. of No, 122 Front street, told of the rise of the whole- sale price of sugar from $4.40 to $7.60 ja hundred weight, and accounted for t by @aying that British Government buyers had taken 30,000 barrels and 600,000 bage out of the market at the outset of the war, and Greece, which had never bought sugar here, had taken 10,000 barrels, Heavy freights from tho Weet Indies and lack of transport had made the raw sugar supply very short. Mr. Youngs also had before him representatives of the drug trade. John James, of Towne and James, drug jobbers, said two whole- salers are responsible for the un- duly high prices of imported drugs. Asperin, he said, has been increased from 28 cents an ounce to 63 cents an ounce; the British and Ger- man price has been 8% cents an ounce and cannot have been raised to warrant the present high American stances the managers could get bet- ter prices and asked them.” District-Attorney Whitman, Dis- trict-Attorney Cropsey in Brooklyn, District-Attorney Martin in the Bronx and United States District-Attorney Youngs in Brooklyn continued their investigations to-day, Before Justice Benedict, sitting as @ Magistrate, District-Attorney Crop- sey in Brooklyn, examined H.

Hearst for United States Senator and that Tammany will not only en- dorse any platform plank of the Inde- pendents standing by the policies of President Wilson, but will make the pro-Wilson recommendations even atronger. Tammany men cannot reconcile themselves to Hearst. They say it would be highly improper for Demo- crate to put up a man for Senator who spends all bis spare time attack- ing the President. One close to Leader Murphy takes this view of the aituation: “If the Independents think they are going to ‘be original in indorsing President ‘Wilaon’s policies they ere mistaken. In fact, should they fail to do eo, Tammany will. We are for President Wilson and his policies, We'll prqve the truth of this at the proper time, “Tammany men will not stand for Hearst. He hag been too persistent in his opposition to Democratic poli- cies. He would burt the thoket and drag down his running mates, We want a man who has never done any- thing that would cause any one to question his right to run as a Demo- erat.” nae eer GEORGE F.
