The Price of. Meat
It Costs As Much As SA a Hundred Pounds and 50 &c
Pound At Retail l. the Profit Excessive?
BY EARL GOODWIN.

The food administration appears to be much puzzled
over the enormous upward rush of meat prices the general
public.
However, my talks with food administration officials
show me they the job and going into the meat
business as well and as vigorously as one expect.
They have told me exactly what they doing, and
have replied to them with much emphasis com
mand:
Continued high prices of meat will create dangerous
dissatisfaction among the people unless the Government
show positively that is correct though unfortunate
IF on the other hand it shown that there are huge
profits the high prices, the public will have little patience
'The Government will do well to expose the whole in.
terror of the meat business that everyone see how
much meat costs to produce and how much to sell"
At the present moment detect considerable buck
passing and blame shifting The retailer says the cois-
sion merchant raising the price, the commission merchant
denies it. and lays the wholesale and the retailer
combined Meantime the price of round steak is IS and 50
cents which is TOO HIGH and the butcher is likely
that soup meat be purchased for Is cents but that no
one wants it
Bearing in mind that round steak is about the same a.
porterhouse and sron to price, let also call attention
to the daily wholesale beef price report of the Bureau Of Mar
kets OF the Department of agriculture There grades
OF beef on the report which imposes difficulty in the begin
ton jumped from Is cents to Is cents pound $3 to $
hundred pounds it is reported On April u was rising
from SIG to $21; on April % from ST to $23
May 15-ony last Wednesday-wholesale beef in Wash
ngton ranged between $3.50 per hundred pounds and Sl
per hundred pounds.

and the wholesale there profit of ALMOST 100 PEB
