Record crop hopes fail to cut consumer food costs
The Agriculture Department says second quarter 1973 food costs are 15 percent higher than 1872 levels. Wheat, corn, and soybean crops will set records, but prices likely won't fall. Beef price ceiling talks advance ahead of September 12. Futures rise as Mexican border shoppers seek beef, and several Pittsburgh and Jacksonville firms warn of higher costs or closures. Government sees 18 to 22 percent higher 1973 retail food prices versus 1872.
