OPA Boosts Prices as Subsidies End and Price Controls Ebb
The OPA raises prices on No 2 peas and tomatoes by two cents and corn and tomato paste by one cent while increasing catsup and six ounce tomato paste by a cent. It ends subsidies on the 1945 and 1946 packs as price control lapses in June. Meat markets react to subsidy shift with lower packer bids amid heavy beef demand and pork price resistance. Shipments may arrive quicker than distributors can absorb due to high cargo volume.
