Meat animals that have been growing on America's farms and ranches soon will be coming to mar ket in larger numbers. The U. S. Department of Agriculture says that with the public's purchasing power and demand for meat remaining about the same, "a moderate seasonal decline in pr.ces" may be expected.

Other relatively good buys await careful shoppers. American Meat Institute Headquarter, Chicago Member throughout th U. 5. buried today following services at St. Rose of Lima Church, Wanamaker and Master sts.
