This is explained by the lack of demand for this meat in the fashionable district, As a rule, however, the prices in a store are uniformly near the high or low water mark.

Difference in quality, difference in service, difference in rents and over- head expenses are given as the rea- sons for the difference in prices.

EAST SIDE STORES UNDERSELL PUSH CART MEN, Of course, on the lower East Side the little storekeepers are most al- ways in keen competition with the push cart men. It was noted yes- terday that vegetable prices in the stores there were sometimes as much as a cent lower than those of the push cart merchants, There was no delivery system here; women carry thelr purchases, Further up, where the “rolling stone” merchant is not evident, the prices started to mount. The stores as a whole, of course, were cleaner and better and no doubt the ren were higher.
