Then the packer and retailer bargain until a compromise price is reached, It is on this bar- gaining that butchers to-day say that the packers have forced up prices. Several packers already have as- gerted that they never expect the price of beef to go lower than it is at present. The new move of the market may mean that the upward trend of beef cost has again begun, thie tine not to stop until city or Federal authorities enact laws which will hold down prices.

They blame it on the high cost of wheat, Yet the wheat from which this flour was made cost at least thirty cents @ bushel less tran the present crop, and the tg wholesalers alone will make the enormous profits, which will be paid directly by the people. No reason can be discovered for th advance in butter prices, as a normal supply is now stored in the city and shipments are normal. Advances in milk prices, which occurred during the early period of the war scare, have been ended by city investigators, and apparently the big dairies are trying to gain a new method of grab- bing profits by raising quotat'ons on butter.
