Chicago. Aug. 22.—The patient
American housewife turned on the
butcher today and struck against
the high price of meat, according to
indications reaching the world's
meat center.
Wholesale meat prices have touch-
ed the lowest point In five years,
but the family meat bill has not
been noticeably trimmed.
The buyers’ strike hae demoraliz-
ed the market, judging from state-
ments of conditions Issued by the
Institute of Meet Packers. Ware-
houses all over-the country are fill-
ed with beef for which there are no
purchasers. Farmers, hard pressed
for cash, flooded the market with
their stock, thereby beating down
price* and enabling packers to slash
the wholesale quotations.

New York, Z.ug. 22.—“The lextile
industry is looking to tho future
with confidence," according to a tel-
egraphic statement to tlie United
Press today by W. D. Adams of
Charlotte, N. C., secretary of the
American Cotton Manufacturers' as-
sociation.
Adams forecast that the, industry
will,,again fie wprktng full time by
fall and early winter. He said the
financial condition of the mills, fol-
lowing the recent deflation, was >”80^
prlslngly healthy.”
"After having passed through a
period of deflation, the most remark-
able In history, the textile Industry
today Is looking to the future with
confidence,” he said.
"The great war, owing to the de-
mand for cotton and cotton manufac
tures and the localization of the
conflict within the zones of textile
activity, brought about a depletion
of reserve stocks the world over
which, coupled with the dimunitlon
of production, entailed a security
such as the industry hag never
known before. Hence the notable
advance in prices of the latter part
of 1919 and early 1920.
"The pendulum, having swung
one way, started back the other with
shocking suddenness as the so-called
buying strike developed os much
that in the latter part of 1920 and
early 1921 the situation was fea
tured by drastic deflation, raw cot-
