Beef and Pork Prices Rise as Eggs and Veggies Fall
Retail prices show beef and pork items climbing slightly in the first week of the year while eggs and several vegetables edge lower. Coffee prices at major chains rise two cents a pound amid higher green bean costs, and butter is removed from the Government surplus list as stocks dwindle. The Agriculture Department notes drought and other weather reduce olive oil output in the Mediterranean, with cocoa exporters projecting near 7 percent above the 1935-40 average. The Dun & Bradstreet wholesale food price index climbs to 6.93, about 21 percent above a year ago.
