Prices Of Meat.
Secretary Wilson has jus; finished
a unique investigation relating to the
Increase Of wholesale prices Of beef
when sold at retail Inquiries were
made In fifty cities-large. medium
and smalI-in all parts Of the coun-
try. and II was found that for the
afty cities the total retail cost charged
TO customers above the wholesale cost
paid by the retailers Is 80 per cent.
A gross profit OF 90 per cent was
found in New York city and in Phila-
delphla. rs per cent in Boston, II per
cent In Baltimore, AZ per cent in
Washington. 46 per cent in Chicago
rs per cent In Cincinnati. % per cent
In Omaha. 80 per cent in St Louis,
Mo; ca per cent in Mobile. Ala. and
81 per cent in Denver, Colo. The
North Atlantic states exacted the
smallest profit and the south central
states the largest.
Another feature of the investigation
showed that the lower the grade OF
beef the greater the percentage OF
gross profit. In Boston. for instance,
the rate of gross profit is nearly twice
az great for beef costing s cents at
wholesale as for beef costing II and
111h cents. Low priced beef is mark
ed up nearly twice as much relatively
as high. priced beef In other words
perhaps II is a safe inference that the
poor people pay nearly twice as much
profits as the well-to-do people pay.
Farmers Share of Profits.
An inquiry was also made to find H.
in the ascending prices of meat the
prices of the farmers beef cattle and
hogs have increased in proportion to
the retail prices. and the conclusion
Was reached that the farmer has fail-
ed 10 receive a share OF the higher
beef prices with regard to the raw
animal. He, however. gets some re-
turn for the high-priced corn that he
feeds TO his steers. but not return
equal to 50 cents a bushel for his
corn. which is the price for the last
two years. As for the unfed steer, 1t
does not participate in the upward
movement of prices in its farm value.
