Lag in Buying
MayForceCut
In Meat Prices
Stocks Carried Over
As Housewives Avoid
Choice but Costly Cuts

Washington grocerymen showed
up in only small numbers at the
wholesale meat markets today in
sharp contrast to a week ago, when
retailers were virtually begging job
bers for meat at any price.
A source in the wholesale meat in
dustry here said the number of
takers was only a fraction of last
weeks, and that jobbers were ex-
periencing difficulty in moving their
supplies.
This, he said. is going to mean a
downward trend in current high
meat prices within a few days.
Many retail shops carried over stocks
from Saturday, rarity in recent
months.
He attributed this to further re-
luctance on the part of housewives
to pay high prices.
Along with a threatened backing
up of meat here, the butter mar
ket was reported by a spokesman
for the butter and egg division of
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association to be sluggish"
Overloaded With Butter.
He said retailers were overloaded
with butter in some instances and
have begun to cut their prices in
order to encourage sales. This
source, who also is one of the biggest
jobbers in the city, said he had re-
ceived requests from several retail
ers to buy back butter at SO cents
a pound This same butter sold for
around rs cents a pound last week
he estimated
Now they are stuck with it." he
observed. The offers to buy back
the butter were turned down, he
said
Retail butter prices showed a wide
range, depending on the supply in
each store. 1t varied from 50 to
80 cents a pound.
Poultry market also was reported
by the trade as weak" Today S
wholesale price for chickens was
about Al cents a pound, with plenty
Of supplies on hand.
An official of one retail store
commented that the law of supply
and demand has asserted itself in
poultry and butter and will assert
itself in meat by or shortly after
the middle of the week"
Nobody Wants to Buy"
James Thompson. head of the
branch Office of John Morrell & Co.,
meat packers. reported that nobody
wants to buy" meat today. Jobbers
and retailers. he added, were stuck
SO bad last week that they are slow
in buying"
Mr.. Thompson observed that the
housewife lis the one who controls
prices" and he expressed confidence
their resistance to high meat prices
would bring about a drop in prices,
probably by the end of this week.
Daniel Willard, who heads the
poultry division of the Merchants
& Manufacturers Association, dis
closed the Army had made substan-
tial purchases here last Friday for
feeding at nearby posts. This was
not expected to bring about any in
crease in poultry prices to retailers,
