BEEF UP ANOTHER NOTCH.
Hreord Price of 10 Cents a Ponnd
Paid for Steers.
Chicago, Aug. 3. The price of beef
soared at the stock yards to-day. A
three carload lot of heavy black steers
sold for 10.10 a hundred, thc llrst time
In the records of tho Chicago market
that beof on the hoof, except In the casn
of prize winning single animals, has
sold as high as 10 cents a pound.
The same figure almost was touched
In another deal when cattle, raised by
the samo feeder, but slightly lighter lu
Wright, sold for $10.05 a hundred.
Tho high. price .commanded by tho
two lots of steers was due, is was said,
to tho scarcity of choice cattle and tho
activity of competitive buyers.
It was predicted, following thc two
sales, that the price would go even
higher, one reason being the scarcity
of range cattle.
