And on the part of Joseph Stagg. he found himself thinking of sunny-haired, blue-eyed “Hannah’s Car’lyn” with increasing frequency. “Didn’t you ever have any little girls.

The list shows price ranges on nine general classified groups with a spread of $13.85 per cwt : —the lowest at $6.50 and the highest at $20.35. Why this variation in price? . Because the meat from differ ent animals varies greatly in ^quality and-weiglYtT*"^ Although the quotations shown are in nine divisions, Swift & Company grades cattle into 34 general classes, and each class into a variety of weights and qualities. As a result of these differences in catfie prices, (due to differences in weights and meat qualities), there is a range of 15 cents in Swift ft Com pany's selling prices of beef car casses. These facts explain: 1— Why retail prices vary In different stores. 2— Why it would be difficult to regulate prices of cattle or beef. v v - \ 3—Why it requires experts to nidge cattle and to sell meat, . so as to yield the profit of cnly a fraction of a cent a pound—a profit too small to affect prices.
