PRICE Of UTS
IS MOUNTING

SEATTLE, May 1. — Meat prices
in Seattle are up—high!
Beef has raised 25 per cent in a
fortnight, hogs 30 per cent and lamps
60 per cent.
Butchers predict that prices wi'l go,
higher, but if not. will remain firm ;
until the cheap grass cattle l«'gin to,
come Into the markets, in August, j
Butchers are paying 20 cents a I
i pound, it is said, for lambs, and the
price is reported 23 cents for the
! same animal in Canada.
No Dealers Making Money.
[ Three months ago tnoy were buying
f hogs on the hoof at 5 to 7 cents a
[ pound. Today they are glad to pay 9
[ cents.
t “As a consequence, tiiere isn't n
[ meat dealers in Seattle today who is
[ making his salt." Manager Guiseman. [
[ of Burgess & Guiseman, in the White
| public market, told The Star.
I “The packers raise the price to
■ the retailers, but the retailer hesitates
■ about boosting his price to the con •
, sumer. because he loses his old cus
tomers.
Hard to Boost Prices.
“It's prettj hard to look the old J
customer in the eye and tell him he'll
have to pay twice as much for lamb as
he did two weeks ago. He thinks you1
are trying to hand him something, and
you lose his trade.”
There are three reasons for high
prices.
The main one of the European war
demand, which in itself would create
an abnormally high market in Am
! erica.
I Coupled with that is the enormous1
jl lamb shortage in Austpalia, where |
drought lust winter killed thousands ]
' upon thousands of animals.
Eat More Meat in East.
Added to these two causes is the j
fact that factory hands in the eastern i
states suddenly become in funds are
eating more meat than formerly they
. could afford.
From New York comes word that
packing houses of that city, Chicago
and Kansas City are filling orders for
Europe as fast as they can.
A Chicago house contracted for 26.
000,000 pounds of meat for the allies
two weeks ago.
Payment Is Prompt.
The orders are more desirable, the
dealer asserted, than supplying the
demands in the United States, as the
• minute a foreign order is placed
aboard a boat for shipment, it is paid
for in American gold.

WANT MINERS IN FRANCE.
LONDON, May 11. — The war office
has notified the coal owners of Eng
land and Wales that 10.000 volunteer
miners skilled in tunneling and tim
bering work are needed for the Brit
ish forces in France. The coal own
ers are trying to devise a means to
supply the men without curtailing the
production of coal. These men will
not undergo military training.
