Asheville Steak Higher
Than It Has Been Before
And Meat Men Think Prices May Rise, Since So Many Calves
Are Being Slaughtered Tenderloin Steak Is
Retailing for 32 Cents.
Asheville people are paying more
for meats at the present time than
they have since the opening of the city
market In fact more than they have
ever paid before. This is especially
true of beef, and today the best cuts
of tenderloin steak are retailing for
32 cents a pound. The gloomy side
of the situation, however,- is that the
market men do not see any hope of
any speedy reduction in prices, for
they say that the supply is insufficient
at present to effect a reduction.
The western beef comes highest,
and if there was sufficient supply of
local beeves to supply the demand,
and possibly to over-supply It a little,
there would be no necessity of forcing
the western beef on the market. The
market men declare, however, that the
local supply is far short of the needs
of the community, and the prospects
are that it will become still shorter
within the near future.
Their explanation of conditions is
that too many young calves are beins
slaughtered to satisfy the tastes for
URGE DOCKET BUT NO
veal. It is estimated that between
12S and 150 calves arc disposed of
each week in the city market house,
which means about 8000 a year, for
this average is Increased during the
summer months. The calves bring a
good price, and the owners seem to
prefer a small profit without any ex
pense to themselves, than to raise the
beeves to two years or older.
The market men themselves seem
to be powerless to lo any thing about
the matter; but they want something
done, at least a majority of them do
Swain county now has a law prohibit
ing the slaughtering of calves under
two years old and the Idea of this law
is to conserve the supply of beeves, in
that county. It is believed that such
a law in Buncombe, and the whole of
western North Carolina, in fact, will
become imperative before the meat
market conditions can be materially
Improved. The outlook now is that
the prices will go higher, and if the
future follows the trend of the past
few years Asheville mav face a meal
panic.
