1t is averred that prices have still
further declined in the last few days
but the effect of the decline since Oc-
tober l has not even been noticed so
far as many local retailers are con-
cerned. In fact, so far as the meat
buying public of Wilmington is con-
cerned, the prices remain near the
same level as before.
Only two places of any prominence
could be found in which the price of
meat products was appreciably alter
ed. In one of these shops, it was as
serted by the manager that they had
resolved to pay no more attention to
high-sounding names for various
cuts, but to sell good beef at moder-
ate profit.
mo more French chops and pin
beae roasts," said that tradesman. Il
believe that Wilmington has more diff
ferent cuts in meat than any city in
the country"
do you believe that the present
retail price asked in this city is fair,
considering the big decline in the
Wholesale prices, was asked him.
"No, I don't" was the snappy re-
ply, but if the people are going to
W Du9 uulCoS Tic pltCt 10 Du5ny
then the price will be high. This is
what l mean" he continued as he
walked to the case and drew out some
fne-looking pieces of meat. This is
plate, and you can see it is good
meat. This is selling here today for
eight cents a pound, and about twen-
ty cents worth will give an excellent
meal for a family. viii the ones who
are kicking about high prices buy
this? Not on your life! They pass it
up with a lifting of their noses and
ask for some fancy-named section.
This is what L mean when L say they
have turkey appetites and scrapple in
comes.
"Of course, do not mean that ev-
erybody should eat plate, but there
should be more diversity in choice,
and more discrimination in buying.
"Then you think it is the peoples
fault that they have to pay such high
prices for their meat was the query.
"To a great extent" he replied.
THE retailers are charging far more
than they should, but they have an
excuse in the demand for special
kinds of cuts.
I'VE have lowered prices to meet
he decrease in wholesale charges. |
For instance, comparing our prices to

SENATOR INsLEY IMPROVING

The condition of George B. Insley,
who was elected State Senator in the
Seaford district by the largest DEM
ocratic majority ever given a candi-
date, continues to improve and it is
expected he will be able to take his
seat in the Senate when it convenes
next month.
Mr.. Insley recently was operated on
at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore,
for an abscess in the region of the
kidneys, and withstood the operation
exceedingly well. Since that time he
has continued to improve. and will
return to his home at Bethel this
week

THESE OFFICES arc not Ine pIIcts
which the majority of Wilmington
householders pay, however. and a
journey through the meat markets and
the corner meat stores in various sec
tions of the city shows tremendous
variations. Ham in several places was
quoted at rs cents a pound sliced,
which is a tremendous profit on the
labor of slicing from ham quoted at
rs cents a pound for the whole ham.
In fact the range of prices fairly gives
one headache trying to keep UP with
them. Hamburg steak, for instance.
ranges from IS cents a pound to As
cents pound, and the same kind of
meat is run through the grinder in
most cases.
