PORK AIMD MUTTON
HAVE NOT ADVANCED
Investigation of the records of
one of the packing companies of
St. Louis shows that wholesale
meat prices, contrary to an im
pression that prevails to quite
an extent, have not made an ad
vance within the last few years
that can be compared to the in
crease in the cost of many food
stuffs. The price lists of the
packing company for ten years
ago were not available, but those
for nine years ago show that
muiIon and pork prices were
higher Ilia?) they are now. The
