What Determine* Meat and Live-Stock Price*? Some stock men stia thir* that Swift 4 Company—and other big packers—.-.ft pay aa little for livestock aa they wish. Some consumets are still led to believe that the packers can charge as modi lor dressed meat as they wish. This is not true. Theta price: are filed by a law of human nature as old a? human nature itself—the law of supply and demand. When more people want meat than there is meat to be had, the scramble along the line to get it for them sends prices up. When there is more meat than there are people who want it, the scramble all along the line to get rid of it within a few days, while it is still fresh, sends prices down. When prices of meat go up. Swift & Company not wily con pay the producer more, but has to pay him more, or some other packer will. Simitariy, when prices recede all down the line Swift & Company cannot continue to pay the producer the same prices as before, and •till remain in the packing business. Ail.the packer can do to keep the expense of turning stock into meat at a minimum, eo that the consumer can get as much as possible for his money, and the producer as much as possible for his Uve-stock. Thanks to its splendid plants, modern methods, branch houses, car routes, fleet of refrigerator care, experience and organization, Swift & Company is able to pay for live cattle 90 per cent of what It receives for beef and by-products, and to cover expense of production and distribution, as well as its profit (a small fraction of a cent per pound), out of the other 10 per cent.
