Pork and sauerkraut persistence despite price rises
Canton residents plan to buy thousands of pounds of pork and sauerkraut for New Year dinners despite higher prices. Dealers report strong advance orders and expect gains of about 10 cents per pound for pork with center cut and end cuts priced up from last year. Sauerkraut stays three pounds for 25 cents, though some stores charge six to seven cents per pound as supply remains ample.
