While live hogs have declined from,
$2:i.y0 to $li.fU per hundredweight
since the middle of July,'' wiites a
markets editor, "consumers are now !
paying almost as much as they did in!
July for pork chops, loins and bacon." I
Here is a drop of more than !J0 per j
cent in the price of live hog:; in twoi
mouths, with the price still tending .government contract
downward. There has been a drop in; i() per cent.
wholesale prices, too, though not in,
proportion to the pr ice of animals onj
the hoof. Retail prices have scarcely!
been affected, in most sections. j
Surely, in a properly conducted in
ilustry, a "0 per cent drop in the price
paid the producer of hogs should re
duce retail prices by a similar per
centage. The effect should be felt
quickly in fresh pork. If chops, for
example, were selling in July at f0
cents a pound, a mere consumer
would expect them to sill around ""
cents now.
Somehow it doesn't work that way.
Pigs may be pigs, but in the matter
of price they have little relation to
pork.
