GAIN IN MEAT PRICES IS
SURELY REC0RD-BREAKER


CHICAGO. March 22.-Previous gains
in meat prices were made to look insig-
niflcant yesterday, when an increase of TO
81 cents pound was announced in the
cost OF dressed mutton cuts. This was
accompanied by an advance of one half
cent In dressed beef cuts and ID cents a
pound in the value OF live chickens.
shortage I'm the available supply of
sheep and lambs. and the fact that pack
ers are paying the highest price ever re-
corded for live muttons at the stock
yards, were the reasons given for the
sharp rise In the price OF mutton pro-
ducts. The advance brought the best
mutton cuts TO 1Sh cents a pound, legs
and loins to 16 cents, and stewing cuts to
l05 cents.
Live stock traders say they do not be-
lieye that the present deficit In the sheep
and lambs will be overcome before July.
and In the meantime they look for both
the live and dressed offerings to sell at
still higher prices. Live lambs at the
stock yards sold up to $1,000 a hundred
pounds, while best sheep reached sS.75.
