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.
