STEEL MERGER PLANS
NOT DROPPED, SAYS GRACE

BY the Associated fresS
NEW YORK, July 25.-Rumors that
directors of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration had voted to abandon plans
for the merger with the Youngstown
Sheet & Tube Co. were branded as
ridiculous today at the Offices Of the
steel company.
Rumors in the financial district and
similar reports from youngstown were
TO the effect that directors of Bethle-
hem Steel had taken the action at q
meeting in New York yesterday.
At the Offices Of the, steel company
today It was said there was no meet
ing of the directors yesterday, The
regular quarterly meeting Is scheduled
for July 81, the directors at their
April meeting having changed the time
Of the quarterly meetings from the
fourth to the last Thursday OF the
month.
Eugene G. Grace, president of Bethle-
hem, said the rumors were perfectly
silly"
I'VE have no such intention and
there Is absolutely no foundation for
the report" he said. I'VE have no
such thought. The idea Of dropping
the plans never was brought up or
even suggested"

BEEF PRICES DROP
IN CHIEF MARKETS
Wholesale and Retail Values
Lose 10 to e Per Cent
This Year.
BY WALTER BROWN.
Written for the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 25.-Beef, mans
historic flesh food, has lost much OF
its aristocracy of cost. The Depart
ment of Agriculture representative here
has shown that wholesale and retail
prices have dropped as much as 1S to
rs per cent this year.
In this city, the worlds neat-pack-
ing capital, ]. S. Campbell of the Fed
eral Bureau Of Agricultural Economics
estimates that during July wholesale
prices of dressed beef dropped to an
average of II cents pound and loin
cuts to IS cents.
Round steak and rib roast, most
popular of beef cuts, fell to retail prices
of 35 and % cents pound, the stat1s-
tician said. These figures are a mean
average of the cash. and carry and
delivery markets, Campbell explained.
That there was not such a marked re-
duction in the prices of choicer steaks,
porterhouses and Sirloins, Campbell at
tributed to an unchanging demand.
Wholesale Prices.
"The fellows who buy the better
steaks haven't felt the depression so
much as the family man who gives the
round steak and the RIB roast the
place of honor on his table," he re-
marked.
In January wholesale dressed meat
was quoted at % cents and whole
sale cuts at 81 cents. The retail prices
in January were: Porterhouse, 5212
cents sirloin, SO cents; round steaks,
4412 cents, and rib roast FIRST cut)
2712 cents. Porterhouse and sirloin
steaks sold around 40 and Al cents a
pound this month. On the hoof beef
sold at SASS for 100 pounds in Janu-
airy. Now it is between $40 and $11 a
hundred pounds.
And, not only may the housewife
| obtain her steaks and roasts at lower
prices, but she will have available
better grades than at any time In
recent years.
"Fully 90 per cent of all cattle shipped
to the Chicago market the last few
weeks have been well fed cattle" &C
cording to Charles Wilson, president OF
the National Live Stock Exchange.
Peculiar conditions have forced down
prices, and the packers have filled their
store rooms, making an unprecedented
supply of choice beef available at
! wholesale prices the lowest in a
decade"
| All indications point to bigger and
better supply of beef during the re-
mainder of the year, said F. A. Benson
of Armour g. Co.
Feeder Stock High.
Farmers paid too much for their
feeder stock last FAN, observed James
E. Pool, stockyards analyst. They have
been feeding them longer than usual,
waiting for prices that dropped to rise.
The result, continued Poole. is heavy
losses for producers, with benefits for
consumers.
Almost from the dawn of history beef
has had an important place in mans
diet but during recent years pork con-
sumption has passed that of beef. In
1929, the per capita consumption of
beef was STA pounds and pork, 1878
pounds. Up to 1912 more beef than pork
was consumed. During 1917. 1918, 1919
and 1920, when farmers were unloading
war cattle beef was cheaper and theh
consumption passed that of pork,
Campbell said
1.-THE average working man will buy
beef If it is cheap enough; If not he'll
buy pork" he added.

HEAVY CANTAL0UPE
SHIPMENTS RECEIVED

Farmers in the Ridgeway section Of
North Carolina, one of the best fruit
producing sections Of the State, are
flooding the local market with canta-
loupes. Because Of the weather condi-
lions. many of the cantaloupes are
reaching here fully ripe and have to
be disposed of without delay.
Eastern Shore, Md, growers also are
furnishing quantities of the fruit to
local wholesalers. It Is reported that
the Eastern Shore and Anne Arundel
County crops promise to be much
lighter this season than usual on ac-
count of the dry weather
Practically all the North Carolina
cantaloupes are brought here In motor
trucks, reducing the hauling by railroad
trains and transfers by express COM
panies.
One day this week a heavy truck
with q cargo of Ridgeway cantaloupes
became disabled on the road in the
vicinity of Quantico, Va, and the
driver, fearing delay would mean ripen-
ing of the fruit and consequent losses,
offered his fruit to the public at some
thing like market prices.
The demand for the 'lopes was so
great that the driver was almost mobbed
by the large gathering of customers.
