BEEF UP; PORK IS
Down; PERISHABLES
BREAK DOWN WILDLY
BY WILLIAM r. sANBoRN.

The cattle market was so strong at
Chicago on Thursday that ordinary
beef grades sold 81 up from the low
of the previous week. and the top of
the day was 40 cents over the high
day of this week This is a rather
-, sudden advance in view of the slow,
draggy decline covering several weeks.
Prime steers sold at $14.75 to SIS,
with common to good bringing up TO
$3.50. Some 1850 pound beeves sold
at STATS in carloads. The same price
was also paid for yearlings: while
two cars of 6S1 pound heifers brought
$1425.
In the face of the steady advance
In cattle. hogs have been slowly going
lower The price broke 10 to Is cents
Thursday, closing at the bottom. with
$4,000 head left in the pens The bulk
of sales was made at $3.50 to $14.60,
with a top of S14.S0 for a few fancy
$50 to 225 pound butchers. Lambs
also weakened again, were off 25 to
so cents in fact. Hogs are in liberal
receipts and no clean up of the pens
has been made in several days.
Pork Cents Pound Higher.
When the break in hog prices is
considered, 1t seems out of line to
read that there has been a retail ad-
vance in pork cuts of about five cents
per pound within a week, according
to a department store meat market.
The buyer said that: THE poor mar
ket for raw hides has added about
eight cents per pound to the retail
prices of veal and lamb. Last month
I obtained So cents for number l calf
hides; today | contracted to supply
them for Is cents per pound, AS to
the price of beef, he stated that there
was no relief in sight until the
cheaper grass-fed cattle come in,
which will be in six weeks or so
from now"
Fruit and Vegetable Prices Off,
There was a remarkable break IN
the wholesale prices of fruits and veg
etables at Chicago on Thursday. The
Tribune says it was surprising
slump of all perishables." We quote
as follows:
'"The heavy arrivals were respon-
sible for the cheapening all along the
line. Cherries and grapefruit led the
fruits in the decline. the former sell
ing off $50 a box and the latter
falling from 81 to 81 crate.
Cauliflower fell off 81 crate. AS
paragus sold at what the buyer wish
ed 10 pay Lettuce sold at cents Tor
iceberg" heads. Radlsnes brought
10 cents a bunch, and cabbages and
onions were cheaper by from 3 to
cents"
Sugar Situation Desperate.
The situation as to sugar is SO des-
perate, owing to congestion IN the
freight yards, that an attempt oy
Chicago government officials and
wholesalers is being made to have the
railroads allow sugar the same PR
ority shipment rights as apply TO
