Meat Prices in U.S.
Meat prices soared to record heights in New York on Tuesday, when housewives had to pay 150 cents per lb for loin of lamb, 95 cents per lb for shoulder of lamb or pork chops, and 135 cents per lb for steaks. Market experts said that prices would riot fall for at least six months. Butchers in New York are complaining that such prices are killing their business. One indignant butcher plastered his window with posters complaining of* the high prices and then closed his shop. —New York. July 13.
