HORSE MEAT HIGH.
Though Paris People Get Big Supply
from British Army.

PARIS, March 1.-THE extended sale
OF horse meat is one OF the means count
ed upon by the city authorities to re-
Hcye the provisions market The sale
OF horse flesh for many years has been
considerable in the popular quarters OF
Paris and 1t has increased considerably
during the war. Last year 1921 horses
were killed at the Yaugirard slaughter
houses The increased supply OF horse
meat had no depressing effect upon prices
however.
The British army is now the chief
source OF supply of horses for killing.
More than 1900 horses were received
trom that source last year, yet the prices
went from the equivalent Of y cents a
pound to 40 cents for ordinary cuts and
from 30 cents TO - cents pound for the
choice bits OF horse flesh.
