Meat Consumption To Drop In 1948 Curtailed Supplies And Higher Prices Chicago. Sepi. 3—(UP) — Curtailed supplies and higher prices will cut American nneif consumption 10 pounds per capita in 1948, R. J. Eggert, associate director ft!' the American Meat Institute s»id today. Eggert told delegates to the institute’s 42nd annual meeting that the reduced production would result from increases in tne price of corn and other animal feed grains. Eggert made his estimate a day after cattle prices at the Chicago stockyards rose to $35 a hundred weight to equal the high for the year set last Jan. 8. The price still was under the $39 all time record established last Nov. 29. Experts said the high prices at the yards would show up only in . the retail prices on high quality meat cuts. Prices of lesser grade cuts have remained comparatively stable. Eggert said the average meat consumption next year would be 148 pounds per person, as compared with 158 pounds in 1947. "This is still about 10 pounds larger than our per capita consumption in 1939-41,” he said. Eggert said that present estimates, based on current, reports of n sharply curtailed corn and grain crop, “strongly suggest that next summer’s meat Supplies may be far short of balancing demand at prices which the general public will consider reasonable.” He added, however, that ac-’ cording to the institute’s estimates there will be only three months next year when meat supplies are expected to be less tnan those available at the present time. He said that total meat production, including farm slaughter, in 1948 is estimated at 21.8 billion pounds, a seven percent decrease from 1947. but 16 percent above the 1939-41 average. Eggert said that meat prices today are lower than they were immediately after price controls were removed last year, even though there has been a 33 percent increase since January of this year. Eggert said many food commodities such as wheat flour, corn meal and canned tomatoes have shown greater price increase than beef. He said the institute estimated that meat exports in 1948 would i be about 200 million pounds as compared with about 300 million for 1947. Exports of grain during the government’s past fiscal year probably will affect meat supplies substantially more than direct exportations of meat. o Youth Employed Here Is Released On Bond Donald Mansfield, Fort Wayne, who is employed in Decatur, was released on bond of SI,OOO in Steuben circuit court, to await trial on a charge of participating in a fight at Lake James in which a Toledo, 0., youth was injured.
