er buyers. retailers, and others re-
viewed the situation last night at

ric Olander, president of the Kan
sas City Livestock exchange.
Olander said that meat prices
had dropped so sharply since last
summer, when housewives started
a boycott because of war time
costs" that now every beef steer
brought to market was being sold
at a loss of $25 to $50 to the
feeder.
The Kansas City Daily Drovers
Telegram, official trade organ of
the livestock market, in a copy

es had declined 18 to SO per cent
pork 10 to 81 per cent, and lamb
% to 81 per cent since Sept. /,
