U.K. MEAT PRICE UP
Effect Of Disease W.Z P.A.-Reuter— Copyright) LONDON, Not. 28. The price of meat has begun to rise because of Britain’s disastrous footand mouth epidemic, with the slaughter of more than 208,000 animals. Butchers throughout the country forecast rises this week of about 2s per lb for best beef. The increases result less from slaughter of the animals than from other precautions to prevent the disease from spreading. These include a ban on unauthorised livestock movements throughout England, Scotland, and Wales. The number of farms hit continued to rise yesterday and under Britain's compulsory slaughter system, cattle, sheep, and pigs worth an estimated £llm have been destroyed.
