NEW YORK, Feb. 24 0P) Substantial proof that black markets in meat are flourishing throughout the country was found today in a tanners' coun cil report that cow hide ship ments from uninspected slaugh terhouses have increased over 75 per cent in recent months. How many of these untrace able hides came from black market abattoirs cannot be defi nitely estimated, hide experts said, but the tremendous in crease of inexpertly . stripped skins indicates that farm slaugh tering can account for only a portion of this diversion of hides and beef from regular packing house channels. Actual figures show that movement into sight of unin spected hides" jumped from 472,000 in December, 1941, to 830,000 in December, 1942. At the same time, hides from U. S. government inspected slaughter houses dropped from 1,005,000 in December, 1941, to 982,000 in December, 1942.
