PRJCXX. 0 By Hrmaa H.. Cohen . Retail meat prices continue out of line with wholesale values but dealers are showing no inclination to meet the charged conditions. While there are a few of the popular priced retailers vfho are . making special sales now and then when a surplus forces a big reduction in wholesale prices, 'most of the firms are Inclined to keep their prices unchanged. , Investigation of government and other interests Into the retail meat situation throughout the country indicates that the consumer ' Is securing little benefit from i the extreme low prices for live stock. At a recent meeting of livestock interests It waa decided to ask the gov ernment to Investigate retail and whole sale meat .prices all over the country. - Pork products have shown perhaps the smallest-change of any of the meat line. This .is especially true of bacon. Live stock interests claim that the charges made by. retailers for cutting ham' or bacon' is utterly out of line with the service rendered. ' The following prices ruled generally in retail shops for good quality. Some values are frac tionally higher and inferior stuff fractionally lower: "''.'

With more- or less talk of a flour advance, millers report a fair increase in ' business and increased inquiries from- abroad. Most of the millers are adverse to the ' movement started in the 'country to have everyone 'purchase a barrel of flour. They say that- if this is done it will force an arbitrarily active tone in the flour trade at this time, a condition that will hurt the market later.
