These newspaper quotations
represent live cattle prices in
Chicago on December 30th, 1918.
"The list shows price ranges
on nine general classified groups
with a spread of $13.85 per cwt.
the lowest at $6.50 and the
highest at $20.35.
Why this variation in price?
Because the meat from differ
ent animals varies greatly in
quality and weight.
Although the quotations
shown are in nine divisions,
Swift & Company grades cattle
'- into 34 general classes, and each
class into a variety of weights
and qualities.'
As a result of these differences in
cattle prices, (due to differences in
weights and meat qualities), there is a
range of 15 cents in Swift & Com
pany's selling prices of beef car
casses. "
These facts explain:
1 Why retail -prices vary in
different stores."
2 Why it you!d be difficult to
regulate prices of cattle pr
. beef.
3 Why it "requires experts to
judge cattle and to sell meat,
9 so as' to yfold the profit of
& only a fraction of a- cent a
pound a profit too small tOa
affect prices. ' 0
