Product Is Higher Here Artnour Reply. . ' That packers are somewhat worried regarding the recent statement of the United States de partment of labor and reports from others that the price of meats haa been out of proportion in various parts of the country, is indicated by the defence that tha packers are making. It has been charged for some time that while the price of beef -on the hoof, was lower at Portland than in the eastern markets, dressed meat vsraea were sevsml cents higher. This matter has never been explained by the packers although they have put up a defence against the government charges. The- following from C. A. Livingston of Armour tc Co. will be read with interest; "Why should a sirloin stesk that cost the consumer only 28 cents a pound in Minneapolis but month bsvs cost the man in Boston. '56 cents, with wide variations between those prices? "Consumers are asking this Question in view ef autistic just presented by the United States department of labor. "The dtffere.no in price Is explained by a representative of Armour & Co., on these grounds: Tha demand, or lack of demand, for sirloin, which may or may not be popular in cer tain localities; the quality of the meat, the style of trim and cut, and market conditions. " 'Why take a sirloin steak as a barometer of tha boat of beef?' the meat packer asked, 'when it represents but 10 per cent of the animal, while chuck steak runs from 25 to 27 cents. It is not logical to select a sirloin steak, or any particular cut. aa representative of meat prices. There are just as many necks as there are sir loins and both are in demand. " 'If the demand is chiefly for sirloin, . that out will be higher, as in Washington, D. C. where the price was 50 cents, according to the government figures, and other cuts, less popular, will be cheaper. If the demand is chiefly for pound steak, or chuck, those cuts will be com paratively cheap in price snd sirloin will be on tha bargain counter. Sir Loin may be a favorite in some circles and in other quarters passed by unappreciaaveiy for Mr. Chuck. " 'There are markets in New Tork. Jersey City snd Hoboken. snd in part of Chicago and Other large cities, where sirloin is comparatively cheap in price and- round or chuck steak is rela tively high . This is largely due tfc the increased use of these cheaper, but equally nutritious cuts of beef as a result ef better understanding of food value on the part of the housewife. " 'A butcher's selling , prices are governed by bis cost of doing business, rent, labor, con venience to markets and so on. A market doing a large volume' of business can sell at a lower margin of profit than one whose overhead repre sents a greater aspensa for each pound of meat. " 'The quality and grade of a sirloin steak has an important bearing upon the price to the consumer, Cuts of beef from high priced, heavy weight catties naturally are more expensive than tha same cats from lighter weight animals.' "Market conditions also, it is explained, have considerable influence upon the price of meat. If there is a surplus of meat in any particular locality prices are bound to go down, for m--at. being a perishable commodity, must be sold for what it will bring. The stats of tha weather, fnterruptions in transportation, an excess supply of poultry, fish, vegetables or other food, all have a direct effect upon the price to the oo rummer. " Chicago Price Is Down at Opening By Joseph ft. Prttchsrd Chicago, March 28. (L N. S.) There were 129 cars of corn inspected at Chicago to day, and the reeeipta were 158,000 bushels, which cauaad holders of tha future te back away from tha increased offerings, and the con sequence was tower prices all around. Future were 2 8e lower, and the oats market was off 1 H 2c. It is a well-known fact that the bulls in corn or in any other commodity run from tha aetusl stuff or rash article, and this was the case today. In addition, to the increased move ment in the corn belt and tha release of con siderable corn by farmers, there were teports of the taking of two cargoes of Argentina corn at $1.35 for April shipment. Provisions were 10 30a lower far tha day. Chisago, March 28. (I. N. 8.) Corn opened H 1 He lower, with July leading the decline. Commission houses favored the selling sjde. Trading was active with sentiment ap parently bearing. Oats opened H H e lower with Belling by prominent oommkion houses and bears.

CONTROVERSY WITH PACKERS "V Potato Situation Rather Mixed Looks Like Higher Market but Some ' Signs Hay Be Misleading. t . 1,11 " 1 1 " " Hymao H. Cohen The potato market sstaatioa never needed more careful watching by the trsrtssMBd pro ducers than at this time. Very conflicting con ditions are in existent, and, while apparently the market is fery strong at tha mo most and Is even advancing, too mneh dependence cannot be placed upon this condition as a means of holding back for higher prices. Offers for potatoes and payment are shown at country stations as high as $1.60 per cental 4urinc the last 24 hour. This price baa been paid in local sections, where not only lias tha quality of the stock been practically perfect, but the freight rata to California has been at the minimum. ' - - - : To offset th extreme bullishness now shown .in the trade is the fact that there is much stock remaining unsold in sections where transporta tion has been practically fanposaibla during tha winter and spring period to date. The gov ernment's holdings are said to be extremely heavy and 'concern is felt when this stock will be damped upon the general trade. Moat ef this stock is held by the government in the Yakima section, but despite this Yakima has recently advanced its selling Quotations in carload lots to $30 per ton or 31.00 per cen tal f. o. b. there. This means a landed price in Portland of $1.60 per cental Quite liberal stocks of Yakima potatoes arV held here that cost only $11.10 per cental landed here. Little of tha stock from that section haa shown good quality this season. It is always the poor quality that hurts tha market for good stuff.

While there are Quite fair stocks of barley remaining unsold in Northern Idaho, little re mains in either Oregon or Washington, although California still retains Quit liberal stocks. Extent of the export demand will influence the barley market up or down within the imme diate future, but a big influence also will be the likelihood that this year's acreage will be de chased v the Pacific Northwest because of the huge ' planting of wheat on the government's guaranteed price.
