BEEF PRICES SKY HIGH The people of this city have a right to con- gratulate themselves upon the present price of dressed beef in comparison with other cities. The Field and Farm states that there seems to be no limit as to where the price of beef will end in Denver. It is still climbing heavenward, and if it keeps up, poor people will have to find something to eat that doesn’t cost so much. Choice steers dressed sell for 9c per pound, cows 8V^c by the carcass, hind quarters 11c and 11 ^c at the packing houses, while loins bring 14c and 16c. For wholesale prices these figures are remarkable for this point.
