proportionately, occurred in New York

partment reports, than in any other
week in the history of the city, the
rate reaching the new low record of
14.41 a thousand. The health depart

admits that it is unable to account for
the drop of more than three deaths a
thousand from the record of the corre
sponding week last June.
Assistant IIea4th Commissioner Ren-
sei, speaking of the decrease In
deaths, said. "We don't understand it.
The various epidemics seem to be hold

apparently the same, but the fact re
mains that whereas the death rate fei

it was only 14.41. a decrease of 3.0-"

shortages of slaughtering centers, the
consumption of this meat in New York
city is said by wholesalers and retail

exceeding the maximum of recent
years, hare been the dominant factor
contributing to this result, it Is admit

to price manipulations by a so-called
trust, asserting that representatives of
various large slaughtering Interests
meet each Saturday and agree oa
prices for the ensuing week. Demand
for beef taas fallen off throughout the
