That the high cost of living is not
due to any increase in the selling price
of beef by the packers was in sub

ures compiled front statistical records
in the local office which showed that
the wholesale selling price of beef had
increased practically not at all in. the
last three years, and that the price of
pork was not in any way due to ac
tion on the part of packers in raising
prices. , , . ' '
The following table shows the
variance in the selling price of dressed
and carcass beef per hundredweight

"t want to deny reports in the city
hall that R. B. Howell is paying for
the bread, butter and buttermilk
which will be served at this banquet,"
said Mr. Howard. He also denied ru
mors that the occasion was gotten up
at the instigation of Mr. Howell in
behalf of his fight against the five

by the city council in the interests of
the citizens who have been clamor
ing for more and better street lights.

crease in the last three years," Mr.
Howe said. "Figures taken from our
books, which are open to the public,
show that beef supplied to tributary
territory surrounding this market,
which includes Nebraska, Iowa, South
Dakota and Wyoming, has risen
scarcely at all in selling price. This
will show that the high cost of living
is due to other causes than forced
prices for meat goods."
In speaking of pork products the
general manager said that the buying
price of hogs on foot has increased
i cents per pound since November 21
last year. "On November 20, 1915,
hogs sold on foot at $6.27; today's
market quotations show a price per
hundredweight of $9.60 for the same
grade of hog. We have raisd prices
of dressed pork only according to
the increase in raw materials."

OMAHA MARKET IS STEADY
The anticipated bull movement in
grain prices failed to materialize and
instead of an advance, all kinds of
grain sold at about the same 'or a
little lower tharf Tuesday.
When the'' grain market closed
Tuesday afternoon, the opinion was
general that it would open with an
advance of several c.nts a bushel. It
is asserted that the ccllapse of the
boom was brought about by telegrams
coming in from New York. These
telegrams were scattered about the
trading floor of the Omaha exchange
and conveyed the information that

in both senate and house, as soon as

embargo on the export of all grains
and other foodstuffs.
The New York telegram! . came
from brokers in that city and the
information they contain, is looked
upon as being the sentiment of east
ern congressmen, regardless of party.
Omaha grain dealers assert that if
the talk of an embargo on grain and
foodstuffs continues it will have a ten
dency to "beat-" prices and if the em
bargo becomes a fact there will be a
decided drop not only on grain, but
on everything that is a food factor.
Omaha wheat receipts were fifty
three carloads and while the demand
was good prices were about the same
as Tuesday, ranging around $178
1.84 per bushel.
Corn sold off a quarter of a cent
from the prices of Tuesday, fetching
9192j4 cents, though a car of choice
stuff sold one-half cent up. Receipts
were ninety carloads.
Oats were in rather poor demand
and (old off one-fourth to one-half
cent, the going prices being Si'tta

twenty-nine carloads..
Two Switch Engines Jam
And Tie Up North Yards
Just how, or why it happened, none
of the enginemen know, but late
Tuesday night, two switch engines,
one a Northwestern and the other
belonging to the Missouri ' Pacific,
came together at the crossing near
Fourteenth and Burt streets. Both
locomotives were almost converted
into scrap and the tracks tied up until
almost noon.
The Northwestern engine side
swiped that of the Missouri Pacific,
lifting it high into the air and toppling
it over. In the collision, the Missouri
Pacific machine was pretty well brok
en up and the Northwestern almost
completely stripped.
The wreckage caused by the meet
ing of the two engines tied up the
ndrtli yards of the two railroad com
panies and all trains going north and
northwest were switched to the tracks
of the Omaha road and the Belt line.
