MEAT WILL BE DEAR WHEN WAR ENDS.
TORONTO, September 6. At the directors' luncheon at the Canadian National Exhibition yesterday, W. J. Black, Commissioner of _ Agriculture for Canada, stated that prices of meat products would remain high after the war. He declared that Canada would send two hundred million, bushels of wheat to the Allies this year. Since the outbreak of war there were 28,000,000 fewer cattle, 50,000,000 fewer sheep and over 30,000,---000 fewer hogs. The result would be that m the years after the war the prices of meat products and live stock would still remain high. The farmers were not receiving prices out of proportion when compared with prices of other products which the people were buying.
