Prices, Wholesale and Retail.

Whether guilty or not guilty,
the retailer has been convicted in
the court of public opinion of more
or less rapacity. At this time the
metropolitan newspaper instead of
turning its batteries blindly on the
packer has actually investigated.
At first the retailer asserted that
wholesale prices had not been re-
duced in consequence of deprecia-
ton in on-foot values; but the
packer threw open his books, fur
nishing conclusive evidence to the
contrary, and the retailer was con
fronted with journalistic accusation
of responsibility.
Retailers of course have plaus-
IDLE argument to present. Their
contention that during the period
of high prices they operated on
narrow margins is probably true,
but it will always be noticed that
their charges are peculiarly sensi-
tive to wholesale advances, while
subsequent declines exert a tardy
influence. Just now the ire of the
consumer is aimed at the retailer.
Meat users have been apprised that
prices on the hoof have slumped,
and wholesale quotations reduced
accordingly, but comparing this
years bills with last, they are un-
able to detect commensurate bet
torment of their condition.
Eventually the disparity between
what cattle hogs and sheep cost at
the stock yards and prices consum-
ers are required to pay for the
product may be eliminated, but it
is the most serious problem con-
! fronting the trade at present.
