Figures-for Four Years Show Law of' Supply and De- mand Ignored. By P. Q. Foy. (Special Food Expert of The Eve- ning World.) The law of supply and demand is not only being ignored, but absolutely thwarted by the large packers in their manipulation of food prices, This attitude can readily be seen by a survey of the tables herewith given. The products mentioned are con- trolled directly, os in the case of meats, and indirectly, as applied to the prices on dairy products and eggs. The products surveyed by compari- fon are those of June 1 for the last | four years, .The effective work of The Evening World in exposing the methods of the packers has re- sulted in their placing a more liberal supply of beef on this market and present prices are lower than for more than a year.

Some | of the large markets reduced their) prices from 2 to 5 cents a pound) lower than the week before, Best cuts of roast beef from prime medium steers sold at 30 to 35c., while many of ‘ve retailers sold top Sirloin steaks at sv a $5c., and chuck steak all the way from 16 to 24c. per pound as to location of shop. KOSHER PRICES ARE AFTER EXPOSURE. Kosher dealers were selling the same grade of meat at 7 to 10c. less @ pound than they were charging the preceding week, when The Evening World complained of them to the prosecuting attorneys, Some of the kosher retailers said their meats cost them more last week and were com- pelled to charge 32 to 85c, for plate steak, but last week they charged from 40 to 48c. for similar cuts. Hebrew housewives also benefited by T vening World's fight in their behalf for cheaper chicken, Fricassee fowls were retailed at 37 to 38c., against 45 to 48c, a week ago, It hus been fully demonstrated that publicity is the only method for regu- lating the methods of the large pack- | ers, Mutton and lamb have been held at artificial prices, but the consum- ers, acting with The Bvening World's campaign for fair prices, substituted other and cheaper meats, and thus served notice on the packers that the hoarding of mutton and lamb would be as disastrous as to beef, and a ¢.- cline of three to five cents a pound in lamb ut the close of last week will insure cheaper prices to consumers this week. ‘The holding of frozen lamb exceeds cuT times that of 1916, yet t'» present | prices are 88 per cent. higher, The holdings of frozen and cu: 1 meat are double those of 1916, while over | 150,000,000 pounds of an army and the available supply to over 300,000 000 pounds, In the face of thes: facts and the largest production of beef cattle in our history, the pack- ers are exacting six to eight couts al pound more for meaty than they div | in 1916 when meat was really scarce, | Creamery butter 1s now loWer than | since last year, and | decline in spite of the ar ods to maintain the pr the speculators from have hoarded away mo 000,000 pounds of butter at 55 to 60 cents @ pound, and expect consume: to pay an éxhorbitant price next win t reasonab price, Chee: r, and while the American cheese are 100. p an in 1916, yet the present price is 100 per cent, higher, Potatoes are now sellfig at $5 a Darrel of 160 pounds for the finest Southern new, while old potatoes car be had at 1% docks and pound on the All kinds of | fruits and are in very heavy supply and prices are low.
