Stor Stoff Correspondent

BALTIMORE, Aug. 9.-Despite
climbing costs Of living, cattle
prices are at their lowest level in
two years.
With the drop has come a sharp
showdown in trading at Baltimore's
Union Stock Yard, sprawled over
a 50-acre tract southwest Of the
city. Veteran cattle dealers. buy
ers and sellers alike, can't recall
a situation exactly like it.
The bottom by no means has
dropped out of the market. Prices
still are far higher than they were
early in the pastwar years. They
are more than double those of a
decade ago.
But the surprise is that they
have dropped at all. Because
within the last two weeks, the
Government has reported new
record peaks for both retail food
prices and for the overall cost of
living.
In Baltimore, however, choice
steers, which yield most of the
top-grade cuts available in stores,
last month brought $3.50 per hun
dred pounds less than they did In
July /, 81. Cows, which brought
between $28 and $50 q year ago,
went begging this week at between
$40 and $23.
Same Situation Elsewhere.
The Agriculture Department re-
ports the same situation elsewhere
in the country. The Chicago live
stock market generally is regarded
as the bellwether of the industry.
There for the week ending July
81. the average price for all
grades Of steers sold for slaughter
was $32.16. For the same week
last year, the price was $36.19.
The Departments explanation
for the drop is that the supply of
cattle has outstepped the demand.
It estimates IS per cent more
cattle are on feed in the Corn
Belt for market than there were
a year ago. Last year. when
prices hit a record high, the Amer
lean cattle population jumped by
6 million head. It Is expected to
grow by another S million this
year.
Thus, the Federal experts pre-
dict the price trend will continue
downward for some time to come.
The department estimates also
that more than l million more
cattle will be slaughtered this year
than in 1851. The rate at which
slaughter increases will hold the
key to how steeply prices drop.
Small Slaughter Increase.
Actually, only about 4 per cent
more cattle were slaughtered dur
ing the first six months Of this
year. But this increase. with the
apparent slump in retail demand
for beef. was enough to account
for this years slow price decline.
The drought. plus high feed
costs. also undoubtedly has played
a substantial part in the number
|of cattle sent to market. Agricul-
ture Department officials, however,
are reluctant to put any figure on
how much this has thrown the
Evening star., 1952-08-09

supply and demand structure out
of kilter.
Poor prices for hides. fat and
other by-products were cited as
another factor in declining prices
for cattle. In addition, large
amounts of beef bought at cut-rate
for home freezing unquestion-
ably has Influenced the demand
through regular retail channels.
Department surveys, meanwhile,
indicate there is a decrease this
year in the wholesale price of
dressed beef. Inquiries to meat
packers. however. indicate the
drops haven't come in the kind of
beef the customers most want to
buy.
Heavy Call For Steaks.
Several packers told The Star
they are selling hind-quarters Of
beef. from which come steaks and
other top cuts. at just about the
top price allowed by OPS ceilings.
They give this explanation of why:
The heavy demand now Is for
hind-quarter meat. particularly
steaks. The less desirable fore
quarters, which yield roasts, are
not In demand by retailers. In
order to get the fore-quarters out
OF iceboxes. they have dropped
prices on them. Therefore. in
order to make a profit. they are
selling the headquarters for as
much as they can get.
The same trend appears to be
true in retail beef prices.
Stores here are featuring chuck
and rib roasts, advertised consider
ably lower than at this time last
year. A spokesman for one large
chain said sirloin steaks were
advertised for 80 cents q pound
last week as q special. But this
week they were back up to their
regular price Of $1.O8, he said.
There were virtually no features
Of steak in newspaper ads this
week.
Evening star., 1952-08-09
Say Drop ID Slight.

The Bureau Of Labor Statistics
estimated a slighter drop in retail
prices than appeared in newspaper
ads here or in statements by re-
Itailers.
The BIS said average retail
prices in Sc cities last month were
about 2 cents higher a pound than
last year for round steak and rib
roasts, but about ~ cents lower
on chuck roaSts. Frankfurters also
were reported Ia cents lower this
year and hamburger more than
4 cents lower.
Another large Washington re-
tail chain, however. reported cur
rent steak prices are about S cents
lower than last year. A spokes-
man said rib roast prices this year
also were down about 5 cents and
chuck prices down about ( cents.
The demand for fore-uuarter
beef. the packers pointed out, al
ways goes up with cooler weather.
when roastS and stews become
more popular.
What happens to the pritce of
roasts this winter-as well as to
the price Of steaks-remains to
be seen.
