A few months ago the prices ot foodstuffs and meats were at the peak where it seemed it would be impossible for the average family to combat the cest of living but the decline has come as suddenly as the :-harn advances and it is easy now to pnrchase a great deal with the old dollar bill that formerly looked like small change in the various places of business. In the meat line pork chops that formerly sold for 50 cents a pound have retreated to 30 cents a pound, or a slump of 20 cents a pound in a little over two months. Beef is also coming down and steaks are now quoted in the leading markets of the city at from 35 to 40 centc per pound for the very best grades, instead of 50 cents as in the past. In the grocery line there have been s harp declines on all staples and the -.householder now finds the cost bur den much less.
