PRICE OF MEAT.

During the past 1--WE weeks the
prices OF hogs on foot and cattle have
declined rapidly. The FARMERS today
are receiving almost fifty per cent less
for these products than they did on
Nov l. The packers announced some
time ago that there would be a sub
stantial reduction in the prices of
meats Immediately there was big
decline in the prices OF the live prod
uts. This of course, enabled the pack
ers to buy the live products at much
less than they had been paying.
Since there has been this reduction
in the prices of cattle and hogs nat
urally the consumer expects CORES
ponding reduction in the prices which
he pays for his meats. But in this he
has been doomed to disappointment.
So far he has not seen any tangible
evidences of the low price of meats
He knows that the farmer is getting
less for his stock, that the packer has
announced that he is selling his prod
uct cheaper, but he knows also that
the retailer is making little, if any
difference, in the size of his bills
There must be something out of
joint somewhere. The situation is not
logical The consumer usually feels |
the upward tendency in prices at |
every period in the movement, but |
some how it is taking a long time to
reach him since the decline began.
The consumer read with no small de-
gree&of pleasant anticipation the an
made some weeks ago
1f lower prices for meats. but he is
beginning to long for some substan-
ial confederation In the shape OF de-
-reased bills. Anticipation is pleas
int, but in this case realization
would be even more acceptable
