slump In the demand for heavy cattle
and the beef they produce. In the

of tidy killing cattle averaging 1000,
sold for 81 per cwt These cattle
were just a trihe better than prime

aging 1870. equal 70 the light load in
quality and very much superior to
them in finish, brought only $3.50
The current trade demands light
cuts, and retailers are compelled TO
sacrifice quality TO weight in order
to satisfy their customers and come
through with profit themselves.
While fresh meat prices are higher
from the block. than ever before, both
wholesalers and retailers find il very
difficult TO make ends meet, mainly
because OF the small amount OF bust
ness done. Overhead charges cannot
be reduced. proportionately os protits
decrease on account OF the small vol

incomes very nearly absorbed by the
expenses which result
from an effort TO secure prompt and
adequate distribution
