Sharp and Erratic Price
Changes Mark Trading
First Six Months of
Year.
A RESULT OF THE WAR
Abnormal Conditions Re-
sulting From War A.
feet Prices.
(By The Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., July 3O-Un
usual fluctuations in the price of dress
ed beef occurred during the first sin
months Of this year, says a report OF
the United States bureau of markets
Starting with top price of $21 fol
good grade beef in January, sharp and
cratic price changes marked trading
throughout the period, with the low tor
price of ST. recorded during the last
week in May and the high point, sd
made on June %, an increase Of S1l
n hundred pounds in 30 days.
A series of unavoidable events, most
of them resulting from abnormal con.
Iditions produced by the war, contribute
ed to the phenomenal price trends, the
report says. Among the principal dis
turbing influences described are period
ical releases by the war department of
surplus stocks of beef in an effort to
reduce living costs, higher stocker and
feeder markets, high priced feeds, frui'
ton of producers efforts to increase
cattle production for war needs and
anticipated foreign demands, labor
troubles, decreased transportation fact
litics, embargoes, unsettled foreign
credit and exchange conditions, de-
crease in beef exports, financial credit
restrictions, declines in prices of hides,
tallow, and other animal by-prOducts
and decreased or spasmOdic cOnsump-
ton of meat.
Many Factors.
In fact, the report says, every pos
sible economic factor incidental to Il
period of reconstruction and capable
of disturbing market conditions for
these products Of the farm and range
had free and almost unlimited action.
Prices of live stock in the Chicago
market and those paid for dressed car
cases as taken from New York quota
tions from 10 days to two weeks after
the live cattle transactions also showed
wide fluctuations, the report asserts.
The difference Of 1928 per 100 pounds
between prices for good beef steers
and the corresponding grade of dressed
carcaSes in January was widcned until
it stood Mt $14.5O during the closing
days of June. For the same period
the difference between the low price
of medium steers on the hOOf and in
the carcas had advanced from SGD to
1925.
Wide Margin.
A comparison of live cattle prices
and prices on relative grades Of dress
ed meats on January . and June 30
this year with those of corresponding
ties last year shows the top price for
good beef steers at the beginning of
this year at $3.50 and at the end Of
June at $16.D with the opening top
price on dressed beef from such steers
at sol and the close at $31. On Jan
uary ., 1919, live prices for the same
grade were up to $17.75 and at the end
of six months the top stood at S14GO,
a decline of S315 Good dressed beef
on January >, last year, registered a
top Of $27 and on June 80 had declined
$S to top of $40.
