' Retail Food Prices ’ Will Continue High To Remain Sharply t Over Prewar Level 1 ——— Washington. Dec. 17—(UP)— ■ The agriculture department said 1 today that retail food prices pro- ' bably will not drop signlfh sntly before spring and that even then ' they will remain sharply above prewar levels. In a review of the national food situation, the department said food supplies in turning months will average somewhat larger per person but that there is no prospect of an immediate decline from current record high food prices. The department estimated previously that farm prices would drop five to 10 percent during the next three months. It was explained, however, that it usually takes some time for a drop in farm prices to be felt at retail levels. The report showed that food pi ices In October were 87 percent higher than in October. 1940. But most of the increases were on foods width bad (hanged little in price during the war when strict price controls were in effect. Civilian meat supplies probably will continue at prevent near-rec-ord levels at least through thia winter Production ikely will decline seasonably next spring but total output still should l»e larger than last spring. Supplies of turkey, fresh chicken, fresh deciduous fruits, sweet potatoes and dry beaus probably will drop off seasonally during the next few months. On the other hand, there should lie mon* fluid milk and cream, eggs, cirius fruits, canned fish, cheeae and lard. Larger supplies of corn products also will be available as a result of the record crop. Other food supplitw are not expected to (lunge appreciably. 0 36,000 TONS OF (Continued from Page 1) serves. The allocation announced in Washington was 6H.<M’O tone of wheat and 16.000 tons of other grains. One poasibility of easing the shortage appeared to be for the ; British to buy American flour ini stead of wheat. Success of such i a purchase would depend upon the > availability of transportation
