MEAT PRICES

CAUSE 1 OE Cost of Pork and Beef Decreases Sales and Forces Housewives to Purchase Mere Vegetables. Vegetarians may be made of Richmond citizens if the price of pork ana cattle continues to raise and the large supply of garden truck lasts. Butchers who last week paid 16 cents for pork loins say today's price is 22 cents and the Chicago packers are sending out frozen loins in place of the fresh ones. The retail price ranged about twenty-eight cents. It la impossible with the high prices for butchers to lay in a stock ahead. This would be dangerous at any rate "with the fluctuating prices on hogs as a decline of several cents might come in a day. It is said the condition of the hog market Is blamable to the speculators who are swamping the market at Chicago. Quotations and supply lists show the speculative trend of the market. Last week with 32,000 hogs on the market and a demand which could have been met with half that supply, the prices started upward. The following day with 12,000 hogs, and a fair demand, the prices were lower. Yesterday the supply was 14,000, about average and the prices continued to kite. Expects Normal Price. Robert Mitchell, of East Main street, a buyer, said today he contemplated normal conditions within two or three weeks at the most in the hog market, but he believes that the increase in beef cattle quotations is justified and will remain. Mr. Mitchell said the big cattle raisers have too little pasture to fatten beeves or even keep them In normal condition. He said local cattle men had asked ten cents a pound Saturday for cattle on foot and that none were obtainable even for 82 cents. The rain of the past few days helped the pastures more than anything else and grass probably will be long enough to keep cattle In stock condition. For these reasons no break is expected in the cattle market even without the war to boost prices. Cattte prices are always higher in war times while hogs are not effected as much. Mutton remains normal through all times and lamb is now the cheapest j meat. Sales On Decrease. Butchers and meat dealers are feeling the effects of the high market prices in decreased sales and decreased receipts. The number of consumers remains the same but the purchasers are more cautiouB and are taking Bmaller quantities of meat to their families. Smoked meats felt the advance with the others, ham going up at wholesale from 19 to 23 centB in three or four days. Bacon is retailing at 32 cents and the price did not raiBe to meet the expectations of butchers nor the increase in other meats. Sausage and in fact ovcry cut of meat is up. Garden truck is not selling as cheap this year as last on public market but the demand is greater. This indicates the fact that vegetables are taking the place of meats. The demand for roasting ears slightly exceeds every day, the supply in the city and most vegetables placed on sale are eagerly purchased by the housewives. Potatoes are selling high. Local dealers are trying to keep down prices on potatoes and eggs. The price of eggs in this city has not responded to the jumps made in the bigger markets. The Twenty Year Test. "Some twenty years ago I used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," writes George W. Brock, publisher of the Enterprise, Aberdeen, Md. "I discovered that it was a quick and safe cure for diarrhoea. Since then no one can sell me anything paid to be 'just as good.' During all these years I have used it and recommended it many times, and it has never disappointed any one." For sale by all dealers. C Advertisement) CAN CONQUER WORLD German Officer Boasts of Country's Power. BY LEASED WIRE. NEW YORK. Aug. 11 Confident prediction that Germany would whip the European allies was made today by Captain Hans Benecke, of The Ninth German Dragoons, who, with nine other German officers, arrived here today from the West Indies on The United Fruit Steamer Calamares for the purpose of shipping to Europe and joining their Regiments. "Germany is not in any serious predicament" declared Captain Benecke. "She is strong enough to conquer the world. She has taken the most opportune time to fight because Russian railways are in bad shape, and it will take two months for Russia to get any big force to the frontier. I think Austria can hold Russia in check until then. Germany will have no trouble In whipping France and Belgium. "I tbelieve England will engage in one big sea battle and then will consider her duty as an ally done. CONFER ON SHIPPING BY LEA8ED WIRE. NEW YORK. Aug. 11. Emanuel Havenith, Belgian minister to the United States, came here today and conferred with Pierre Mali, the Belgian consul, relative to the shipment of grain, and other commodities to Belgium.

With all the wants of Americans in this city, provided for the relief committee today turned its attention to citizens of the United States who are stranded in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Scandinavia. Word has been received from London to the effect that all Americans have their wants fulfilled. Alexander M.

French and British diplomatic agents are co-operating with Myron T. Herrick, the United States Ambassador, to get Americans out of the danger zone on the continent. British consuls throughout continental Europe are being instructed to treat Americans with as much consideration as though they were British subjects and to act accordingly in efforts to get them out of the danger districts.

CITIZENS BUT LITTLE ABOUT JOVERNMEIIT Prof. Roderick Scott on Re- . turn From St. Petersburg, Says People Will Fight for Czar. Prof. Roderick Scott, of St, Petersburg, Russia, formerly a member of the Earlham college faculty, said today he had very little information concerning the causes of the great European war except what he bad obtained from the American newspapers. Professor Scott, who has just come to Richmond for his marriage to Miss Agnes Kelly, daughter of President and Mrs. R. L. Kelly, is connected with the Y. M. C. A. at St. Petersburg. "I left Russia some weeks before the outbreak of hostilities and at that time there were absolutely no surface indications that there was to be a war," Professor Scott said. "In Russia, however, the people know but little concerning affairs of government. I do not doubt, however, but that the Russians will be absolutely loyal to the czar in this conflict." Prof. Scott intends to return to his post in St. Petersburg but will not do so until some safe route to the czar's capital is open. It is possible that if a decisive naval engagement is fought in the North Sea between the German, English and French fleets, that a route to Scandinavian ports will be opened and through Norway and Sweden, SL Petersburg can then be reached. CONGENIAL WORK And Strength to Perform It, A person in good .health is likely to have a genial disposition, ambition and enjoy work. On the other hand, if the digestive organs have been upset by wrong food, work becomes drudgery"Until recently," writes a Washington girl. "I was a railroad stenographer, which means full work every day. "Like many other girls alone In a large city, I lived at a boarding house. For breakfast it was mush, greasy meat, soggy cakes, black coffee, etc "After a few months of this diet I used to feel sleepy and heavy In the mornings. My work seemed a terrible effort, and I thought the work was to blame too arduous. "At home I had heard my father speak of a young fellow who went long distances in the cold on O rapeNuts and cream and nothing more for breakfast. "I concluded if it would tide him over a morning's heavy work, it might help me, so on my way home one night I bought a package and next morning I had Grape-Nuts and milk for breakfast "I stuck to Grape-Nuts, and In leu than two weeks I noticed improvement. I remember I used to walk the 12 blocks to business and knew how good it was simply to live. "As to my work well, did you ever feel the delight of having congenial work and the strength to perform It? That's how I felt I truly, believe there's life and vigor In every grain of Grape-Nuts."
