RETAILERS PUT
MEAT PRICE UP;
BLAME FARMERS
Canvass Shows Roast Beef,
: Veal and Pork Advanced
Five to Eight Gents

A general rise in meat prices by
retailers in Harrisburg is attributed
to wholesale prices, and the whole
saler in turn blames the farmers
the man who produces live stock.
The facts are that no one rule pre-
walls among retailers in their rates
of advance. Some charge Go cents
for the steak which a couple of
weeks ago cost only so cents.
A canvass to-day of retail shops
shows that roast beef. veal and pork
have gone up from to cents a
pound. Mutton is very scarce and
the big Chicago houses have small
supply. Choice cuts of lamb have
advanced from to 10 cents. Pork
has been way up for a year, but
the retailers predict that it will
come down shortly.
The meat situation was explained
to-day by a representative of Swift
and Company, which maintains that
IF consumers are to pay less for
beef, live stock ra:sers naturally
will receive less for cattle and "if
farmers are paid more for live stock,
consumers will necessarily pay more
for meat" The representative de-
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-04-26

clared: Swift and Company's net
profit on beef during 1917 was only
one-fourth of n cent n pound. On
all products, it was less than four
cents on each dollar of sales. Com
plete elimination of these profits
would not affect appreciably retail
prices of meat or farm prices of
live stock
Need Not Fear Famine
This spokesman offered cheerful
predictions in regard to the situa-
ton. He said that no one need fear
a meat panic for this is off-season.
The grass cattle will come in July
and, at any rate, there never has
been any real shortage. Compared
with prices abroad. the United
States has not been taxed noticeably
Furthermore, the rise in meat prices
is nothing to compare with those OF
canned goods.
The farmer who raises stock to-
day" said the Swift and Company
spokesman, lis Independent, and il
{ his price for cattle is not met he
refuses to sell. His own excuse is
the high price of grain. This com
pany is paying from 8 to cents
more for dressed meat and the same
for live. so the retailer is entitled to
raise, but not an exorbitant one
