was shown that, all things considered,
prices for the food products mentioned
had advanced from % to 100 per cent in
ten years. The cause was due. they said.
to diminished supply rather than to any
manipulations of the trade.
Mr.. Walkers testimony was given from
the standpoint of the retail dealer. He
showed that the prices for meats and
poultry had advanced very materially
within a few years. Mr.. Walker quoted
from old letters written in 1896 and 1897,
comparing them with present prices TO
show that the prices for food products
had advanced Is TO rs per cent He gave
II as his opinion that his profits were
less than formerly. and that he had
much larger capital invested. This was
due to the closer buying by the con-
sumer and the increased cost of carrying
on the business.
