Meat Prices Rise Again After Spring Peak in 1930s Chicago
Meat prices are rising after the usual spring peak with pork and lamb still below a year ago. Factors include tighter supplies, keener marketing, longer consumer demand, higher factory wages, more restaurant demand, and rising prices for corn and oats. Wholesale pork loins moved from 35–46 to 40–49 cents, with beef carcasses at 41.50–49.50 per hundred pounds. Lamb carcasses sit around 54–61 cents, with lambs about 27 dollars per hundred pounds, versus higher year-ago levels. Hog marketing shifts toward lighter weights suggest slower pork tonnage and steady market surveillance to avoid a price drop.
