The New York correspondent of the "Daily Chronicle" reports- that official returns show that food to the value of 800 million sterling is being held in the cold stores of various . trusts, including 14 million carcasses of cattle, 25 million sheep, 50 million pigs, and .£5,000,000 worth of fish for the Lenten season. Hie present high cost of food is therefore not due to scarcity. The correspondent of the "Chronicle" adds: 1 ,
"Despite the increase in railway receipts and other signs of prosperity, American financial circles are thoroughly unsettled by the. Government's attitude towards trusts. The value of the stock of thirtytwo railways and twenty-nine industrial combinations depreciated by 207 million sterling in ,six months, owing to fear of the' trusts being prosecuted." -
