MEAT is HIGHER.
Hogs and Cattle Both UP, and Pro
visions Market Shows Natural Ad

Hogs and Cattle Both UP, and Pro-
visions Market Shows Natural Ad-
vance.
Don't look at the butcher as tho you
thought he was robbing you when
he gives you a piece of meat as small
as your hand where formerly you had
enough for meal. The price OF live
hogs and cattle has gone up very
fast during the last month and are
likely to go still higher. On the 1st
of March the best hogs sold on the
Chicago market at $3.50, while today
they are selling at $3.50. In other words
they are almost cents pound, live
weight, higher than a month ago.
which means about 3 cents pound
higher at the butchers. The same
thing is true of cattle. On March i
cattle were at $500 per 100, live
weight, in Chicago, while now the best
are bringing $780, which showed cor
responding rise at the butchers.
The following from a live stock
paper gives the situation at the big
packing centers:
"Provisions have advanced faster In
the last thirty days than they had re-
Gently declined. Pork is up nearly
$500 per barrel. lard is up x ole per
pound, and short ribs are 90c@1.l5
per 100 pounds higher.
Recently it was the belief that the
outsider who had bought product sold
by packers at low prices would have
to liduidate at a loss when pork was
around s1i.O0 for May. Yesterday it
touched $685., and the outsiders were
taking profits, while the packers were
doing the buying. Packers have their
cellars full of product made from hogs
that averaged under AZ cents. which
is the lowest average they have been
able to secure since 1903.
Cali the professional trade in pro-
visions has been excessively bearish
since last fall when hogs sold down
to 4 cents and conditions surrounding
the provision trade have been so bear
ish that most traders have not seen
anything in the market to induce buy
ing.
ut is one of those peculiar situa-
lions known only to the provision
trade, where the outsider has bet his
money under what seemed adverse
conditions and won out"
