Prices per 100 pounds for steer quality grade under Inspectors guidance were established, showing slight changes from August.

Restaurant keeper Woods goes out of business over food rules
Joseph Woods of GIS Main Street Little Falls North Carolina has closed his restaurant after refusing to comply with United States food administration rules. He offered to donate $25 to the Red Cross instead of a one week closure, paid $5, then refused further payment and faced an unfair order barring supplies. He left town amid federal prohibitions. Shortages of animal feeds in France push forage prices higher with mixed quality fodder valued at $2 to $3 per ton for first quality and lower for others, transport shortages causing uncertain deliveries.
