Meat Prices Higher Since End Os OPA •XPrice Survey Shows Increase In Meats By United Press The price of rounasteak has risen an average of 30 cents a pound in the year since price controls were removed, a price survey in representative cities showed today. The average increase on four selected cuts of meat —roundsteaks rolled rib roast, leg of lamb and T-bone steak — was about 22 cents a pound, the survey showed. The price check was made in seven cities — New York, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cleveland, Atlanta, Ga., Minneapolis and Columbus, O. Price ceilings were finally and permanently removed from meat Oct. 15, 1946 —a year ago today. The survey, conducted by United Press, showed that the price of rolled rib roast advanced an average of 20 cents in the seven cities. The average price of leg of lamb increased 15-% cents, and T-bone steak rose more than 24 cents a pound. The American meat institute, which represents the nation's meat packers, said, however, that comparisons between present prices an OPA ceiling failed to take into account the price of meat in the black market during OPA. “You can't very well compare no hamburger at all at 27 cents a pound with hamburger which you can walk into a store and buy for 40 cents,” a spokesman said. A spokesman for the Cleveland retail meat dealers asociation said that most of the group's 1,000 members are selling less meat than they did a year ago, although in a very 1 few neighborhoods the sales volume has increased. “Profits for retailers is now the lowest in history,” he said. “They are trying to keep the volume of sales up ,by keeping prices down, thus giving up profits. Our statisitics show most herabouts are making a net profit of only one or two percent.” Retailers in New York presented a contrasting picture, saying that they have been selling more meat than they did when OPA ceilings were in effect. The estimated increase ranged from 10 to 18 percent. They said, however, that their profits had declined because of increased costs. A spokesman for one chain of meat markets said that profits were higher during the firt part of the year, but that they have dropped so much during the past three months that the total for the year would be somewhat lower than in 1946.

.than they did a year Ago, but that their margin of profit also has fallen. They said the markup on meat during the OPA period was about y.
