Beef Prices to the
Retailers Move Up;
Consumer Must Paw

Dressed beef has taken another ad-
vance of cents a pound to the retail
ers Halves Of beef are from 10 to IS
cents pound. which means CORES
ponding increase to the consumer.
A meat market man explains that an
advance OF this nature must necessarily
effect short cuts. sirloins, round steaks
and shoulder steaks more particularly,
because sharp advance on the inferior
cuts OF the beef cannot be made ana a
ready sale secured.
These prices were charged this morn
ing at various markets: Short cuts, 30
cents pound; sirloins. 27ls cents; round
steaks, rs cents; shoulder steak, 20 cents.
A scarcity of cattle on the market is
given as a reason for this raise.
