The author knows that by irreverent out

still applying his old prices. is retard-
ing the movement of meats into the
ultimate channels. A mild winter has
had depressing effect on meats de-
mand, largely because of the fact that
retail prices have not come down IN
proportion to declines for the stuff at
Wholesale. and were the butcher to
make proportionate reductions in
prices there would be freer general
trading, both in live stock and in
meats over the counter. Margin of
profit distributed among meat handlers
would be fairly liberal. too. The
feeder is the only one liable to miss
profit, since his first cost was too high,

ket for the finished product fail to

RETAIL COST OF MEATS.

During the past six weeks or two
months there have been several an
nouncements of reductions in the
wholesale prices of all kinds of meat.
Except as to pork and its by-products
there has been no appreciably proper
tionate reduction in the retail prices of
meats. Naturally the people have
wondered. What may be considered
as something in the nature of an ex-
pert opinion in the premises is an
editorial which appeared in a recent
issue of the Chicago Daily Farmers
and Drovers Journal, which has a
reputation of being one of the great
farm dailies of the world. That edi-
toria1 follows:
when we see, written all over the
live stock trade, bad wholesale mar
ket reports, it matters not what the
live stock costs the packer or eastern
shipper, he seldom wants much of it
for the reason that a lot of cheap
priced meat hung up in the chillroom
soon runs up in cost when the carry
ing charges are figured.
There must be a free movement of
meats through wholesale channels and
into the retail markets before the
packers and eastern shippers will buy
freely. Naturally, the effect upon live
stock markets is bearish when there is
a poor retail demand for meats. and
the. situation works just the opposite
when the consumers call is sufficiently
brisk to afford active clearance of
chillroom supplies.
1.-The margin of packers profit is not
materially greater when live stock is
cheap than when it is high in cost.
Live stock prices usually regulate
meat prices and occasionally have a
strong bearing on the retail cost, al
though this occurs only spasmodically.
When the consumers demand a lower
cost of meats it is slow in coming, and
often does not materialize until there
is almost a stagnant state Of affairs in
the retail markets, and the butcher is
compelled to cut prices in order to
move his product.
s'The butcher. like the packer, has
his fixed charges of operation, and
once getting high price for his meats,
he is always reluctant to trim down
the cost to the consumer With the
packer, however. it is different
proposition The packer. despite his
heavy working capital, demands free
use of it, and must cut wholesale
prices freely when the situation de-
mands a cut in order that the meats
be worked freely into wholesale chan
nels. and that he get his first cost, to-
gether with a fair profit out of them. =
This is the situation affecting this
meat trade now. Wholesale prices are
