Meat Markets Boost Price Of Poultry Here 30 to 5O%

Unable to buy meat, Waterbury housewives have been forced" to pay increased prices ranging from 30 to 50 percent for poultry, the main meat substitute, it was disclosed by a survey today.
 The poultry prices, which have risen steadily since the O.P.A. con- trols were taken off June 30, were 50 percent higher today for roasting chickens sold in large downtown stores, and 90 percent higher for fowl.
 Sharp increases over the O.P.A. levels were likewise noted for butter and eggs, two other food items which have sold in increased quantity since meat was taken off the mar ket.
 9e Gents Today!
 Last June 90 butter sold for 68 cents pound. Three weeks ago the price ranged from 81 to 90 cents a pound. Today it sold from 89 to 98 cents pound.
 The O.P.A. ceiling price for large eggs sold at the larger stores was 54 cents June 30. The average price to- day was about 30 cents a dozen. The O.P.A., however, had provided for 8 boost to 58 cents during July, and indications were further boosts would have been allowed if the OF. A. had continued to exert controls on eggs.
 The price for roasting chickens, which had been plucked but not dressed, varied in the downtown area today from 69 to 79 cents a pound, compared to the 50-cent O.P.A. level. The prices for undressed fowl ranged from 55 to 59 cents 8 pound. The O.. PA. maximum was 43 cents.
 Three months ago cut-up chicken breasts and legs sold generally for 79 to 81 cents a pound. The price to- day ranged as high as 98 cents a pound. O.P.A. charts issued last June do not list cut-up poultry. It was re- ported that stores which sold poultry in that form were required to set prices which would give them no more for the combined pieces than if they had sold the poultry whole. No Meat Obtainable
 Two stores were noted cutting up chicken so that the breasts and wings sold together. Sold separately, the wings were 29 cents pound.
 Aside from cold cuts, there was virtually no meat on the market to- day in the downtown area.
 One store, however, did put out a large amount of steer beeftails,

 Seven Cows, Bull
 Escape Abottoir,
 Stroll About City

Meat-famished housewives miss ed an opportunity to get almost T.. 900 pounds of guaranteed fresh meat this morning. No ration books or even sly winks at the butcher were necessary either. It was simply matter of having a piece of rope and a basic knowledge of cowboy lasooing tactics.
 Last night seven COWS and a bull were delivered to the Municipal Ahattoir, The man who delivered them forgot to fasten the gate properly. The COWS, decided they wanted to live a while longer, went for stroll.
 One was captured this morning at the gas house while the others were found on hill of Nichols Drive. Unless another last minute reprieve of some kind comes through, the COWS and bull are due to be 3,40O pounds of meat on someone's table shortly. The name of the butcher who will get this meat has not been disclosed.
