Dip’ Unlikely In Food Costs, Survey Wams
But More Meat Is Due This Fall
WASHINGTON, July 31 (U. P.). —Housewives were advised today that steaks and pork chops will be more plentiful this fall. But the family food bill as a whole willl probably be just about as steep as it is now. i That big “break” in food prices that was supposed to start abou! this time_is not even around the corner, agriculture department ex.
perts said. Last February the bureau of agricultural economics forecast a
probable drop of 15 to 25 per cent lin food prices during the last six months of 1947, But a lot of things have happened since then. | The same agency now says a de{eline in food prices is unlikely in | the foreseeable future. Here is its price outlook for the fall: Meat—Not much change, although some slight decline is possible during the period of heavy slaughter in the late fall and early winter. Eggs, Cheese and Butter—Up seasonally.
EY
Flour—Not much change. Truck Crops and Fruits—=Seasonal’ decline. Corn—Will stay high. Agriculture experts don't expect (seasonal changes to have much ef{fect on prices so long as demand reimains high. They. pointed out that the period of relative abundafce will be followed by a period.of reduced supplies, serving to level off prices.’ Meat Supply Increase The experts’ views on meat sup(plies coincided substantially with those expressed in a house agricul-| ture subcommittee report. After looking into food prospects throughjout the nation, the subcommittee said meat supplies should increase by 15 per cent during the fall and winter months. But it expressed grave concern over the effects of America's food export program. * “Should the program be continued on the same scale as during the last 11 months, the -prospdst for lower meat prices may not be realized,” | {the subcommittee said. The report | {noted that 445 million pounds of | | meat products were shipped abroad ' {during that period. Preliminary estimates of the gov{ernment’s bureau of labor statistics . |indicate that food prices last month et an all-time high.
