DROP IN MEAT PRICES

BY the Associated Press.
DENVER, August 6.-The executive
committee Of the American Live stock
Association has taken steps to bring
wholesale meat prices. now at the low
est level since 1922, back to normal.

cattlemen to hold back their usually
heavy Fall shipments of cattle and to
the Fall and Winter.
