BEEF MAY BE CHEAPER. SAYS REPOET
Eratic Wheat Market Causes Flour
to Jump Temporarily — Egga
Cheap in MetropoliUn Districts
lUMil prices ot meats and other staple food products in ttae market; bave not been materially affected by tbe war. Apparently there Is enough ot everything, with a (ew exceptions, and conseauently it is adpiitted tbat there is do good reason for advances at present.
It is ezpecte;^ that within a few days prices will go up on imported feod- stiUTs, French wines and German beer m«7 become practically prohibitive.
"We have made no changes in x^rices at all," said a representative of one of tbe largest grocery bouaea in Man¬ hattan, yesterday, '^but tbere wfll un¬ doubtedly be increases on certain im¬ ported food articles in a (ew days."
During ttae* past ten days tbe retail price of meat in the market has gone up about two cents. Tbe beat cut of sirloin is 27 cents a pound. Porter¬ house steak is quoted at 32 ceota, and Lamb and mutton remain tbe same, while the bst frozen chickens are cheaper tban in two years ago. Tbey now sell at 17 and 18 cents per pound, effect that beef would be cheaper be¬ cause England would be unable to get Argentine beef and more of it would therefore come to thia country.
"England will bave to bave beef, said a wholesale dealer, "and, mark me, she'll get it from Argentina. I do not see bow we are going to get It, but I do not believe ttiat beeg is going to be mucb higher here."
Hind ribs of Argentine beef tbat brought 11 cents wholesale two weeks ago were quoted yesterday at 14 cents per pound.
An advance of 50 to 60 cents per bar for flour has been made as a re¬ sult of the erratic wheat market. The, continued Inability of shippers to send flour abroad. may result In a great decrease in the price here.
The American hen/is behaving her¬ self nicely these days. Egg—and lots of them—were quoted yesterday In Manhattan and Long Island markets at 32 cents per dozen.

Although there has been no report of Its activities during the past sev¬ eral months, the Auditorium Associa¬ tion of Freeport which last February launched a movement looking to the erection of a suitable public hall in the village, has been pushing steadily forward. The accomplishments of Ue individual members, while not defln. itely known, ace said to have been productive and the announcement is made today that a considerable sum of money hae been subscribed toward the Initial amount to begin the erec¬ tion of the building.

Citi¬ zens and taxpayers of the village will be asked to pledge themselves to as¬ sist in the undertaking by setting their names down beside a given amount u( money. When thetfe pledges have been obtained it is probable that for¬ mer Assemblyman William G. Miller will be aaked to begin the erection of a building.
While there bas been no definite location picked as the site for thn pro¬ jected publle hall or auditorium, it was agreed at the early meetings of the association that it should l>e In tbe centre of the village, preferably al Olive Boulevard and Grove street, whre it is understood a site Is still available. This property was sold at about the time tbe association was formed ostensibly for a motion picture theatre or vaudeville houae.
