Beef Agent Blames Vi. 8 In Beef Shortage Probe
F W Lyman representing Armour and Company testified in Bronx county food cost inquiry that the Agriculture Department warned farmers Aug 1 to hold grail due to lack of shipping from World War conditions. He said farmers misread and cut beef shipments. He noted the steamship Zinol Lamport and Holt Line would bring 30 000 quarters Argentine beef to restore supply and lower prices. Sugar expert William W Gardiner testified Cuba’s sugar crop is plentiful with little trouble in shipping to the United States and local wholesale sugar price has risen from 4 to 9 1/2 cents a pound since May.

Commission merchants in Washington and marketmen attribute falling prices to high cost of living agitation. They cite widespread cheap vegetables due to small trades and weather deterioration, with skepticism toward John Sherman’s plan to offer group buyers the same terms as retailers.
