Ottawa plans to guard cattle prices and beer shortages
Ottawa May 21 An announcement by Donald Gordon chairing the Wartime Prices and Trade Board outlines three steps to stabilize cattle prices and prevent beer shortages. Producers would receive usual cattle prices for shipments to the United States with exports controlled if needed. A control body would buy from exporters during tight supplies and resell domestically. Ceiling price adjustments for beef will account for seasonal price shifts. The plan’s impact on wholesale and retail prices will be explained later.
