Ceiling Prices Will Be Past History Says Meat Purveyors Chief
Baltimore Aug 12 The president of the Maryland Meat Purveyors Association Leon Oppenheimer predicted ceiling prices would be past history in two months and the meat market would largely return to normal though beef may worsen before improving. He said government demand would drop and the market would crack as the government needs less beef. He likened meat to coffee, noting public sentiment would shift once meat becomes more available. Local wholesalers reported no beef shortages but butter remains tight as supplies are cut about 50 percent of normal.
