Meatless day alters menus as supplies entice
The first meatless day observed Tuesday showed limited impact in many restaurants and hotels as supplies were on hand and menus planned ahead. Some housewives in surveyed areas followed the meatless request, while others faced perishables.

Hog prices ranged up in Chicago, live cattle held steady to weak, and butter prices eased across major markets amid a volatile grain scene.
