Cattle, Hog Prices
Boosted by Better
Meat Demand
Buying Power Rises
As Defense Program
Spurs Industry
BY the Associated Press.

BY LDe hSSOCldled fIeSS-
CHICAGO, Aug. .27.-The Amer
lean housewives increased buying of
beef and pork has helped to lift the
farm price of cattle to the highest
level in three years and of hogs to
the highest in almost a year.
Livestock men said that business
stimulation and employment result
ing from the national defense pro-
gram apparently we're improving the
meat consumers buying power.
They cited Army maneuvers in va
rious sections of the country as a
factor in improved consumption.
Housewives are paying more for
most meat cuts than they did a year
ago. Retail prices here last week
on the whole were the highest of
the year. Wholesale pork loins have
advanced to % cents a pound, high
est since last September. Top loins
of beef were quoted around 35 cents
a pound wholesale, Is per cent high
er than year ago.
Yesterdays 25-to-5 -50-cent advance
brought the average price of killing
steers in Chicago to around s11 per
hundredweight, highest since the
fall of 1887. The extreme top paid
for choice cattle was S1290. Around
sl3 was paid earlier in the year but
this was for speciality cattle which
sold far above the market for ordi-
nary beef. The average weekly price
of choice and prime steers is now
around sl2, highest since April, 1889.
In 1887 this peak scared to s18.
In the hog trade $3.50 top was
paid yesterday, highest since Oc-
tober, 1889, when hog quotations
were retreating after the September
bulge induced by the start of the
European war.
The strength of meat prices not
only reflected consumer demand,
sharpened by cool weather, but also
diminished meat production. In the
Chicago area output was the small
est in II months with the exception
of the hot wave of July.
