Meat Prices May Start Down Soon
New York AP report quotes William Ferris and National Association of Retail Grocers officers predicting autumn declines in meat, vegetables, and fruit prices. Beef should fall in about two weeks as cattle prices drop, with hog and pork prices also easing due to larger supplies. Fruits and vegetables may ease later in autumn, though some caution notes say declines may be modest as housewives should not expect sharp price drops.
