MEAT PRICES SOAR
AS WHOLESALERS
HOLD Up SUPPLY
Beef, Lamb, Mutton and Veal
Go Up 81 Cents in
Week.

Although the prices changed for
beef. lamb. mutton and veal are al
ready three cents a pound higher than
they were last week. there was an
advance OF about half a cent to-day.
The most marked rise is in lamb and
sheep. They are now wholesaled at
10 cents a pound when they should be
at about Is i-2 cents n pound.
The repeated explanation advanced
by the retail butchers Is that the
meat packers are holding cars here In
New York with orders that they be
not opened. In fact. one butcher told
q representative Of The Evening World
to-day that he had heard that orders
were Issued to re-ice the cars 30 that
the meats might be kept for q longer
period than was at first contemplated.
Mrs. Julian Heath. the head of the
National Housewives League. also
said to-day that she had heard Of
the cars OF meat being held in order
that prices should be kept up or ad-
vanced.
Il have tried my very best to md
those cars" she added. and l have
not been able to do so. A search of
the yards has not revealed them but
II they are found l intend to demand
that they be opened so that some-
thing can be done to check this rise
In the price of meat.
ut may be that the reported hold
ing OF the cars is just a story manu-.
featured by the retail butchers to give
color to their arbitrary raising Of the
price OF meat"
Mrs. Heath also said that she had
been busy inspecting the prices OF
food commodities and that so far as
she could see inca. was the only great
| menace TO the pocketbook as yet.
The retail butchers are willing
enough to explain their reasons fol
having to increase the prices on theil
meats. One said :his afternoon:
III We have to pay ever SO little n,
cent a pound more for carcasses oil
| meat, we have to raise our prices
| or 4 cents a pound to the consumer.
THE price of pork has advanced
about half cent q pound to-day, blu
Il was already high. Provisions hav,
gone up scarcely at all. American
canned goods are at normal. but O
course the imported canned thing,
are higher and may go higher stiii."
