New Beef Price Rise
Alarms Retailers Here
Dear Corn, Scanty Labor, High
Wages and Exports Are
All Blamed

Asked yesterday why beef is so high
local dealers told about the war and
the large amount of beef that is even
now being shipped abroad They
itemized the expensive career of a
steer from the time it was old enough
to nibble grass until it was cut up and
sold in butchers shop, and ended
with the opinion that cheap beef will
be long time coming.
Retailers assert that there has been
q raise in the price of beef averaging
is cents q pound in the last three
weeks. They fear for their businesses
and many Of them claim to be operat-
ing under a loss.
Armour & Co., Swift & Co., and
Wilson 4 Co. say that as long as grain
is dear they do not see how the price
Of beef can come down. Most of the
cattle that come in are grass fed, but
the better grades are corn fed, and
they emphasize the point that corn is
expensive. They recall the scarcity of
farm labor and the high wages de
manded by employees. They estimate
roughly that cattle on the hoof have
advanced in price about 81 hundred
weight in the last four weeks.
The packers find there is great de-
mand for the better grades of beef and
say these are scarce. They say, how
ever, that there is no danger of &
famine as far as beef is concerned.
