better prices than they did this time

II we put up the price a few cents,
he said. They have been up against
this same thing once or twice before
and have learned that they can do

John T. Devine, who has been in the
meat business for thirty years, said
this year was the hardest on the
dealers.
When asked what the high price of
meat could be attrobuted to, Mr.. De-
vine said the packers tell the retailers
there are 100000 cattle less in the
country than there was at this time
last year, and at that time the country
was shy bout 100000 cattle.
The price of meat has dvnced in

cent. higher than IL was a year ago.
