Prices Rise Across Food Staples T: Sawtell argues demand, not packers, lift beef prices

He cites a four year price climb, a corn shortage pushing prices higher, and increases in cotton seed products, hulls, hay, and oats. He provides a wholesale price table for 1901 and 1902 showing beef, pork, lamb, mutton, chicken, turkey, butter, oleomargarine, bacon, flour, and meal rising.
