World of their unfair methods, have decided that they must lower the price | on the livestock now coming to mar- | ket, even tho by doing so they must take considerable less profit on their enormous holdings of foodstufte in cold storage. The lower price of livestock in Chicago should be reflected in the dressed beef, pork and mutton mar- | ket in Greater New York next week by a lower level of prices. All,kinds of dressed beef, pork and mutton shouli decline fully 10 per cent, to keep pace with the decline felt with splendid who want a dash of straw is discarded, Seal, Artichoke, 161 BROADWAY RARER MRES ARRAN ANMUR RRB AR 2OE BE 9OE BOE BOE TOE SE 3G 20E NO Ot BON TOL NOE 7OE 30E TOE NOE SOF OE OR NOE BEE NOE BOE IHF HE TOK IE BOE OF OE 3H which has taken place tn the live- stock markets at every large packing centre in the United States. There is no question but what the middlemen between the producer on the farm and the consumer in the large cities for the past twelve months has been constantly marking up prices and taking advantage of the consumer whenever the oppor- tunity was presented. MANY OTHER PRICES BOUND TO TUMBLE. Lard bas had a bad sidmp, and housewives should buy their lard next week at about 3 cents per pound less than they have paid for it during the past month. Neariy 200 carloads of live poultry arrived on the New York market this week and indications point to | enormous receipts throughout the fall. 1 The finest spring chickens in the world arriving from the West alive are selling at wholesale at from 82 to 35c. per pound, and should be bought | by the thrifty housewives who patron. ize the kosher killing shops at not to exceed 0c. per pound on fat stock. Receipts of eggs have been ve heavy this week, many more arriving than can be consumed mediately, which makes it impossi! to work out any of the enormous oo! storage holdings. With ali the cold storage houses filled to the roof with eggs, and hundreds of thousands of cates in outside storage, the outlook is very favorable for the consuming |public and very disastrous for the| merchants who piaced these large reserve stocks In storage, Many merchants are now willing to accept a loss of from 5 to Tc. per dozen on the eggs which they have in cold storage, but they are unable to find buyers for them at home or} abroad. Last year the exports of eres amounted to about 600,000 cases, from present outlook it Is very doubt- ful if Europe will take more than 800,000 cases of eggs from the United States this year. This will leave the consuming pub- Ne in the United States to take care of about 2,000,009 cases of eggs more than they consumed last year, in the next five months. Tt Is not at all unitkely that the finest cold storage eggs will sell at re- tail in Greater New York before Feb. Int at not to exceed 26 cents per dozen.

The Evening World urged the exe merchants and the butter merchants to let the public have more of the stock coming to market for the past s\x months, but they were absolutely determined to fill every avallable inch of warehouse space regard) of cost, and now they find that Ger- many has absolutely forbidden the importation of butter, eggs, cheese and dressed poultry from United States. They also find tl Great Britain has limited the consumption of butter to such a point that there is no hope of a big export outlet in that direction. They are absolutely convinced now that England Tig td take no from the Uni States which will consume in September, and 1919. MRS, RUMSEY STARTS TO GET 50,000 WOMEN FOR FAIR PRIGE FIGHT . MAS.
