A temporary surplus of dressed beef in New York City has compelled the large Western packers to make a deep cut in the wholesale ptices and housewives are entitled to obtain their usual cuts of beef and other red meats at lower prices than for sev- oral months, ' This decline in price is due largely | to the recent blizzard that made it al- | most impossible to deliver from the wholesale houses, and now hundreds! of carloads of meats delayed by the storm are getting in and the supply is much in excess of the demand. ‘The wholesale houses in the Wash- ington Market district cut their prices ate on Wednesday to 18 a 19c., and the game grades were offered yester- day at 17 @ 18c., with common to fair steers, or the kind the average butcher | buys, selling at 14 a 16c. Veal and jamb continue high in price, but lower prices in sight. sale prices of beef in Chicago have declined about 41 per 100 pounds within the last few days, and the increase in the receipts of live food animals at the sixteen | leading cities in the West makes an- other decline quite certain. Since Jan. 18 there has been a decline of 4 to 6c, per pound in the wholesale beef prices. At the end of the week| nearly every retail meat market in New York will be stocked up wito this lower priced heef, and any re- tailer that does not tr his cus- tomers fairly should be exposed.

A leading wholesale butter receiver when asked his opinion as to what effect will the importation of Danish sreamery have on prices stated: “It will mean lower prices on creamery as Vanks will not be so lavish in their loans, and consumers will be able to get cheaper butter.” 4 government report, 14, gives the entire } dated Feb. ction in the United States at 793,275,309 pounds, or pbout eight pounds for each in- jabitunt, while Canada produces over nine pounds of creamery butter for cach inhabitant and seventeen pounds of cheese, as compared with a pro- duction of two and one-half pounds per ‘nhabitant in the United States. Both Argentina and Canada may be fierce competitors of the United States in both the home and foreign narkets in dairy products. P,Q. FOY.

David Hirshfield, Commissioner of Accounts, admitted to-day that al- though the Dock Department has been under a searching investigation at the request of Commissioner Mur- Hulbert ‘and the direction of Mayor Hylan since last spring, two |city employees, known to be in the |pier leasing business, are till on the| payroll of the municipality. The Commissioner's statements followed revelations made when briefs and affidavits on @ motion to vacate an attachment on funds whioh the the Shipping Board, were filed with the Supreme Court, The action is that of Clark A. Anderson against Thomas V. Mal- ley, a deputy register of New York County; James A. O'Reilly, chief sta- tistician in the office of Register James A. Donegan, and Michael Mc- Carthy, who is said to be prominent jin the 4pner councils of the Inde- pendence League party. Mr. Hirshfield said his investiga- tion led to the dismiss! last Decem- ber of William Prince, secretary to the Dock Commission. Mr. Hirshfield explained the sup- pression of news of this action for two months éy saying that “the in- quiry into the Dock Department was going forward at that time and has not even now been completed. I did not desire that publicity should in- terfere with the work and enable some of the men. under. inystigation to beat me to the punch. “However, now that thi suit has ‘turned on the spotlight, I have no objection to say- ing that the inquiry is going on and that other revelations may be made within a short time.” The suit reveals McCarthy and James A, O'Reilly as partners with sy in the Sun Navigation Com- with offices at No, 43 Cedar According to O'Reilly the jcompany engaged in the business of ubletting piers’ and parts of piers, for which it obtained leases or permits, Anderson maintains that the $6,000 is due him as commission on the busi- ness he solicited for the concern. Some indication of their success is found in the fact that Anderson alleges that, after he joined the firm last July 1, he alone brought in busi- hess‘ aggregating $60,000, Bfforts to reach Mr. Prince at his residence, No, 352 East 79th Strect, were unavailing, Dock Commissioner Hulbert left the city to go to Wash- ington, it was said, following a confer- «nee with the Mayor at the City Hall, Nathan Hirseh, former chairman of the Mayor's Committee on Rent Profiteering, said he had drawn the attention of Mayor Hylan and Com- missioner of Accounts Hirshfield to Prince's case and urged that he be “given a chancg.” Mr, Hirsch said his sympathy had been enlisted by Prince's sister, who far many years has been in Mr. Hirsch's employ and who now is § ry of the Water Consumers’ Company at No, $11 Broadway, one of Mr, Hirsch's enter- prises.

Daniel C. Roper Asks Co-Opera- tion of Business In Regulating U. S. Assessments. Daniel C. Roper, Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue, in addressing the last day’s session of the National Retafl Dry Goods Association at the Hotel Pefmsylvania, made a plea for co-opera- tion af the business men of the country with the Government to put the in- come, excess profit and other taxes in beneficial working order. He said it would take at least ten years to do this, and that it was up to the™Administration and Congress to see that business wasn’t shackled with the present intricate method of taxation. He said the common belief that high prices are due to taxes was not so, but to the uncertainty of the lubor market and | cost of materials. | “The favorite excuse of the profireers,”" be concluded, is laid to taxes, but prices to-day far outdistance them.” At this afternoon's session important resolutions outlining the association's policy regulating the high cost of liv- | Ing will be voted on. ASK HEARST TO. TO GIVE | BOND IN SHIP CASE Shipping Board Urges Court to Make Him Liable for Losses to U. S. Government. WASHINGTON, Feb, 20.—Counsel for the Shipping Board appeared to-day be fore Associated Justice B: to urge that William Randolph Hearst, on whose petition a temporary injunction against the sale of the German ships has been | issued, should be placed under $5,000,000 | bond to cover losses to the Government due to the tieing up of the craft by legal | proceedings. They estimated the daily progpective loss at $20,000, and pointed out that a contract to tell the Swane for $2,000,000, held up by the injunction, expired to-day. Counsel {or Mr, Hearst contended that only nominal bond should be required, | as board officials had told Congrees all bids bad been rejected and that np sale would be made without specific per- ission of Congress. justice Bailey said he would be pre- pared to-morrow to fix the bond, and intimated that the expen: already in- curred as to the proposed sal probably would govern the of the bo The Senate Comme day ord favorably man Jones's bill probit the thirty for liners except 4 vided By Con: WOMAN SAVES LIFE IN SUBWAY Miss Belle ‘Naughton, Deputy Sheriff, Grasps Passenger About to Fall on Tracks, As Miss Belle Naughton, a deputy sheriff in the office of Sheriff David H.
