MEAT PRICE CUT
DUE TO OFFERING
Of ARMY SUPPLY
Another 100000 Lbs. Re-
leased From Storage-Sugar
Reduction Predicted.

one OF The reasons back OF the de.
cline In beef prices was revealed to-
day when It became known that an.
other 100000 900 pounds OF beef is be-
ing thrown on the market by the Sur
plus Property Division Of the Army.
Bids on this meat are being received
by the Zone Supply Officer here The
bidding closes March g.
Tho meat was packed by Swift,
Armour and Morris and was put into
their freezers under the Government
contrnctR between Jan. and May 10,
1919. tt Is part Of the reserves Of
foodHtuffs held in storage. which ac-
counted, IL is said, for high meat
prices in the last year.
Although the release of this beef
may not be the principal factor in
falling prices, IL plays an important
part. Whether the already over
loaded spectators will be able TO
extend their holdings is considered
doubtful by market experts.
Taken in conjunction with the ar
rival here OF several millions Of
pounds of navy foods from Hampton
Roads, to be distributed through the
retail sales stations, and expected
shipments Of butter, potatoes and
cabbage from Scandinavian countries
and Holland, reported by the City
Department Of Public Markets, the
release OF this food may force the
market several points lower.
In addition TO beef, the army is
offering 10000 gallons Of vinegar.
At the office OF Federal Food Ad-
ministrator Williams II was an
nounoed to-day that select candled
