FALLING CONSUMPTION OF BEEF
ALARM IN CHICAGO INFLUENCE OF NEW ATTITUDE TOWARDS DIET SLUMP IN CATTLE PRICES (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Australian Press association.) (Rec. February 28, 7.30 p.m.) Chicago, February 27. Mr. Everitt Brown, president of the Chicago Live Stock Exchange, estimates there has been a shrinkage of 1,375,000 dollars in the value of live stock in the United States in the last six months. Diet propaganda was destroying the meat business, and prices for beef cattle had dropped about four dollars per 1001 b. He stated that the demand for beef had been so curtailed that consumption in some sections was 25 per cent, under normal. Some experts assert that the markets are clogged with beef which cannot be sold. , Mr. Brown also pointed out that there was a great change in the public diet in progress, in which meat was cut to a point 45 per cent, less than ten years ago.
