Markup On Meat Is Due
Washington today weighed higher ceiling prices for meat to curb shortages as rationing is deemed unlikely. Officials foresee a short shortage lasting about a month, with potential ceilings on livestock or price controls removed rather than widespread rationing. OPA set restaurant meat prices through Sept. 16 and raised dry bean prices, while posters for new meat ceilings were to appear at counters Tuesday. Meat supply prospects hinge on the fall corn crop and western range cattle marketing later in September.
