Prospective Meat Prices.

While the general trend of meat
prices are upward, there ia little doubt
but what the upward tendency has been
travelling at an unwarranted rate dur
ing the past year. Perhaps it is not
quite right to say high prices have not
been warranted by conditions. It
should be said, however, that for the
present, or for period in the near flu
ture, the high prices of today will not
be maintained. We will drift toward
a general higher level, but at a slower
pace than we have been going recently,
says Chicago Retailers Journal.
The country today is full of corn
and pigs, and these pigs will soon be
fat hogs. Farmers have found it profit
able to feed stock at the high prices
meat has been fetching. But before
prices went soaring there was scare
ity of young hogs. The fancy price
for pork has induced the farmers to
raise more pigs, and pigs grow into
pork very fast. The pigs bred several
months ago will soon come into mar
ket, and the Indications are that there
are enough of them to pull the market
price down and keep it down for some
time.
Prices have been so high that there
has been tendency to ship heavy hogs
to market. This has disturbed relative
prices of loins, hams and bacon and
salt pork.
But as prices go off we may expect a
better grade of hogs to be sent to mar
ket and this will tend to restore a
proper relation between the various
pork products.
People are not eating as much meat
as they did. They have got into the
habit of doing with less meat, and
most likely they will continue to do
with less, even after prices are lower.
People are more economical with meat
than they formerly were. When they
paid twenty-fv cents for a steak they
ate the choice parts and put the rest
in the garbage. They learned to make
good use Of the less desirable parts of
steak when the cost went up to forty
cents.
There are other conditions that will
tend to put down the price of meat.
Among these may be mentioned the
fact that we have lost much of our for
eign trade. The high prices that have
prevailed here has stimulated the meat
industry elsewhere to such an extent
that we have successful competitors in
the foreign markets.
We are a growing country, growing
away from the old farming ideas and
becoming more and more q nation of
manufacturers. We shall not raise our
meat as cheaply as we once did, and
what we do raise we will need at home.
Eventually meat in this country will
reach higher level Of prices. But fol-
the present prices are higher than they
will be in the near future.

Retail Store Hints.

If goods are carelessly displayed they
give the trade the idea that they are
cheap, says Southern Merchant.
The "go-as-you-please" store is sure
to make that kind of statement at the
end of the year.
Are there many things that you would
like to do if you had the time7 Sys-
tenn saves time.
There is wisdom in joining retail
merchants association, but do not think
that it can run without the assistance
of you or your dues. Pay dues
promptly, as they are going for good
cause.
Goods are judged nearly as much by
the manner in which they are shown
up as by their quality.
Did you ever stop to think that you
and your clerks could do more and do
it better if you did not put in Is or
16 hours a days
If you hear good suggestion or read
some article that you think is good, put
it in use. Do not wait until it is for
gotten.
To have customers satisfied SO they
will come again, sell them what they
want, rather than what suits your own
| eeceSt ouo oSS ehot ~ pays d pAOhIs
Do you always try to make the ac-
town. 1t may get you more customers
if you do.
Have you mailing list9 If not,
the sooner you get one and use it, the
sooner your profits as well as the bust
ness will increase.
If certain seasons of the year persist
in being dull with you, see if you can
not put extra pressure on sales OF
articles that are seasonable at that
time.
Are you using table to display the
odds and ends of your stock on9 1t
not, do it at once, as it is a winner and
you will have a much cleaner stock of
goods.
This is good time of year to hold
coffee demonstrations, especially in the
small towns, as the farm trade comes
! to town oftener than at other times
during the year.
One of the greatest assets a merchant
can have is the respect of his clerks,
so they will work for his interest as
well when he is away as they do when
he is at the store.
To secure the best work from your
clerks, you must show your apprecia.
ton of their work and let them know
that you are interested in their welfare
as well as your own.
Always use good quality of paper
Should package break between your
store and the home of one of your best
customers it may also break the tie
that binds that customer to your store
Be sure your plan is right before you
start it, then carry it out to finish
The novelty will wear off and things
will drag. Then is the time to show
the stuff you are made of. Hang on
Don't be gutter.
