Tho retail price of beef has gone so high a 20 to 25 per cent advance in a month that sales havo shown an ap preciable decrease. Many people say they cannot afford to buy beef nt tho prevailing prices, dealers report. Tho general retail prices of tho so called "popular cuts" arc: Sirloin steak, seventy cents ; rump steak, sixty cents; round steak, fifty-fivo cents; rib roast, fifty-five cents; chuck roast, thirty-five to forty-fivo cents, and pin bone roasts, fifty cents. IJcalers advance several reasons for increased whplcsalo rates, which, they jay, Justify tho big Jumps in retail sell ing prices. Among tho reasons are '. A scarcity of beef becauso it is the "off season" ; the Industry has not re covered from the heavy wartime drain, tho high cost of corn and other fatten ing feed, unsettled transportation con ditions, emtio raisers not finding a mnr kct for hides nnd fats, and tho diffi culty of obtaining farm nnd ranch la bor, and tho high prices paid such help. 'William H. Mnrgcrum. n retailor, said that many persons had virtually stopped buying beef. "It is not a boycott," he explained. "The people cannot afford to pay tho prices, and wo cannot afford to sell the cuts any cheaper. Tho prices are ten to fifteen cents above tho early Juno prices, but we havo to pay corre spondingly high prices to tho whole salers nnd packers "Hind quarters of beef are now bringing thlrty-soven to forty cents a. pound wholesale, and some of tho weight is vlrtunlly unsalable. Thcro is no demand for it. Tho high prices nro unusual, but thero may bo somo break within a month. "We hopo so." Other dealers gave similar Informa tion of the general market conditions.
