Retail Meat
Prices May
Remain High
Research Chief Says
Demand To 60 Higher

CHICAGO-"Retail meat prices
during 1853 will remain at high
levels because of increasing con-
sumner demand and a slight de-
crease in meat supplies" accord
ing to II. NJ. Conway, director
of research for the National Live
Stock Producer, the live stock
magazine.
THE decrease in meat supplies
results from the liquidation of
cattle and lambs in many of the
drouth and feed short areas.
Lack of feed in the western
wheat pasture area and much of
the southern range area resulted
in immediate slaughter of many
animals during the fall that or
dinarily would have gone into
feedlot for fattening.
Pork supplies during the win
ter and early spring will be lower
for several reasons. The spring
pig supply was marketed early In
the fall due to a demand for
leaner pork cuts from pigs of
lighter weights. Hog numbers in
1852 were down. in the normal
cyclical trend of production. Pro-
duction was curtailed in the
western Corn Belt because of un-
favorable feed-live price ratios.
The meat demand outlook for
the next six months is good. In
creasing industrial activity and
