Hamilton Spectator There is a persistent rumor going around the market that the butchers are going to have a hard time pro- curing beef for local consumption for the next month or, so. As this is a staple article and, its needs impera- tive. the shortage will seriously af- fect the trade. The, reason: was giv- en that tha farmers, have been hold- ing back cattle from the market, fat- tening it..and at the same time hold- ing out for'higher prices. The tight- ening up process is being felt over the entire country. as is evidenced by the steady increase in the price. Just a month ago beef was selling at 10 cents a pound in the carcass. while to-day it is 12 cents a pound. The Chicago stock market, quoted beef at $6.60 a month ago while the latest report shows a jump in price to $8.70, Beef in New York city is being quot- ed at $16.50 to-day Other meats such as mutton and pork. aré affected by the advance in price of beef. as there will be a greater demand when beef is scarce. It was about this time last vear that a number of the butchers had to close up their shops on account of the scarcity and it begins to look as if the same thing would happen again. NO TOWNSHIP ASSESSMENT FUTURE, County Clerk Wm. Davidson is receipt of a letten from Dr. Ri W. /Bruce Smith. Ontarid Inspector of House of Refuge. which' speaks of the repealing of a section of a certain Act. The paragraph dealing' with it is as follows; ' ' "You will mote that the section in the former Act\ giving..power to the county to collect) from the different municipalities the sum of $25 for the maintenance of eachtinmate sent to the Houses of: Refugé therefrom has been repealed. and that in future the inmates at Houses of Refuge are to supported by tha-whole county with- out reference to the municipality from which the inmates may be com- mitlted," The repealing of this section of the Act. will, no;doubt, be of interest to some of the smaller municipalities but to the City of Stratford which pays a regular maintenance fund this dropping of the $25 fee will not make any noticeable difference.
