MEAT PRICES ARE
' A PUZZLE TO ALL
Hogi Are Selling for Lett to Packers
and Tet Retailers and Consum
ers Mutt Pay More.
MORE STOCK AT THE YARDS
1 Just why meat prices should be
soaring Is unexplalnable when the
fact Is taken into consideration that
receipts of both cattle and hogs aro
heavier than a year ago and prices
paid for the animals are lower. How
ever, notwithstanding the large re
ceipts and the lower prices at wh'ch
the animals are bought by the pap
ers over the block, all grades of meat
are up, 3, 6 and 8 cents higher than
on the corresponding dates of last
year.
Thi rMords of the South Omaha rack
ing houses ahow that one year a no Thurs
day th receipts of cattle were Itsa than
ysrtrdy. For the four days of this
-tk ' ending last nlRht. cattle receipts
t thai 8outh Omaha yard were 20.761, or
t.tno niore then far the corresponding day
of one year a to'.
Cattle .at South Omaha Thursday mid
a high as l&OO.to IR.SO for choice. The
report of the market for that day shows
that "common to fair comfeds," the kind
of animals generally elaugntered for local
consumption, sold at only around $7.00 per
hundrewetght. with the top of thl class
t $7.0. while "good to choice" sold at
K75.
In the matter of hog the assertion I
made that the scarcity of the animal ha
something to do with the enormous ad
vance In the price of pork. In contradic
tion of the claim, the records of the
Fouth Omaha stock yard show that
Thursday the receipt were lO.ono head
For the four day of the work they were
J7.969. or 4,000 more than for th corre
sponding day of one year ago and that
the prices paid to the farmer shipper
were about 1 cent per pound lea than the
same date of 1514.
Thursday the top hog prices paid by the
packer was f7.tf"4 per 100 pounds, a
against $8-234 on the corresponding date
of last year and $8.68 on the same date
of two yeara ago.
Regardless of the fact that Thursday
top hogs sold for almost $1 leas per 100
pounds and more than JL25 less than on
the same date of two year ago, price
to th consumer are much higher than
on either of these pout dates and for
loins and other choice cut of both beef
and pork, higher than at any time in
rocent year In this market.
Csi'l a k ReaMS,
"I am at a loss to understand why my
mmt nr1rjit man tAllfl me'that the mrlna
he haa to pay the packers for meats
have been advanced materially and the
market quotations advise me that on the
same day I wu talking to him the price
paid by the packers at the yard wero
lower than the day before, ' and also
lower than the same day last yean" re
marked a householder, discussing the
present meat situation.
This woman was correct, because prices
quoted Thursday of the sales 6t,.th day
stock yard brought It or more less than
i the same, day last year and on the aver
age the price ranged 19 cent per 100 less
. than the day before.
A further canvasa or tne situation con
firms the first reports that the packing
' house have this week advanced their
prices to the retailer.. The manager of
a large downtown market states as on
' instance that he is now charging 12H
.cents a pouna ror pot roaeis ne cnargea
10 cents for last week, an advance of 26
per cent. On round steak he has mad
an advance from 17H to 30 cent a pound,
although some of the smaller - outside
market are quoting as high as 25 cents
a pound for round steaka
"It Ut to wonder," is the comment of
another householder' who likes a round
steak now and then.
Women to Assist

Anti-Six Candidates
Chairman Sutton of th general com
mittee of the people's candidates an
