HIGH PRICES OWING TO
HIGHER EXPORTS CATTLE
CHICAGO, July 6.-—The meal
market is all shot to pieces ana
every piece has soared out of sight.
The prices are gone away up be
yond the ordinary vision of the
common buyer.
They are still soaring.
The meat packers explain this by
statements to the effect that there
is a general shortage of cattle in
the nation and that the demands ol
the European nations for beef is
responsible for this state of affairs.
Uncle Sain has been sending om
more than he could spare and in
consequence the people have to pay
the piper.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ July 6.—
A drop is predicted in the price ol
gasoline. The probe into the high
i price ‘of oil and its by-products is
now nearly concluded and by reason
of the collection of facts gathered
the papers are unanimous in de
claring that to avert proceedings a
slump in the price of gasoline may
be predicted with some certainty.
This view is not evidenced in
the market for so far there has
been no downward tendency dis
played by jobbers or wholesaela?
where any jobbers or wholesalers
exist. The price is still the same
at the refineries and likely to re
main so.
