Consumer Division not to raise
prices of ham, bacon. pork chops.
and other pork cuts above mid
March prices. OPA put a ceiling
on wholesale prices of pork pro
ducts on March 10, effective March
%. The Consumer Division ad-
vised housewives to question any
increase in retail prices over
those of mid-March and to report
any marked increase to OPA in
Washington.
Meetings of egg case emptiers
and used egg crate dealers were
called for March 26 in New York
and March 27, in Chicago to dis
cuSs the establishment of a per-
manent schedule of maximum
prices on used egg cases, replac-
ting the temporary maximum price
regulation on these products.
Service stations in II eastern
States and the District of Colum-
bia were permitted to raise the re-
tail price of gasoline 1-2 cent per
5allon over the level set by the
original maximum retail price
regulation under the terms of an
order issued by OPA in recognition
Of the higher transportation costs
involved in using railroad tank
cars instead Of ocean tankerS to
maintain adequate supplies along
the eastern seaboard. Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland and Delaware are
included in the territory affected.
Increases Of 0.4 cent per gallon
on distillate fuel oils, and 20 cents
per barrel on residual fuel oils,
were allowed under the same or
der, and for the same reason.
That further price regulation
may be expected was indicated by
the statements Of Dexter NJ. Kee-
ger, Assistant Administrator CT
OPA in charge of the Consume
Division, at the National Confer
ence Of Business Paper Editors in
Washington.
In spite of the fact that many
retailers have been fighting a good
fight to keep prices down. he said,
they must have allies if the war
against the terror of initiation is
to be won. Prices are going up
all along the line and at a danger
ously accelerated pace"
Restrictions have been placed on
production or distribution of quite
"a few things that we're used to
taking for granted - so we're all
going to feel the pinch of war a
little more perceptibly in the next
few weeks. We're going to have
to change our eating habits and
our dressing habits and our living

But most of US will welcome the
feeling that we're off the sidelines
and in the fight, with a real oppor-
tunity to do something to help the
boys who are in the thick of it.
WPB has ordered a SO per cent
cut in the distribution of tea, to

asked grocers to limit sales to

CHICAGO, Aug. pa compari-
son of farm and parity prices today
disclosed that all livestock, with the
exception of sheep, are selling we'll
above parity levels Most prices are
also higher than ITO per cent OF
parity.
Attention was focused on parity
prices this week when Secretary OF
Agriculture Wickard urged farmers
to forego a provision of the price
control law prohibiting ceilings at
less than ITO per cent of parity.
Wickard said the law should permit
a ceiling at 100 per cent.
Livestock men pointed out that
the law does not make ceilings
mandatory at 110 per cent and
would not at 100 per cent. Ceilings
could not be placed on livestock
without the approval of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, regardless Of
where live animals were selling in
relation to parity figures.
AS far as livestock men were con-
cerned, therefore, any debate over
what the law should say was re-
garded as highly academic. They
said the question was not where the
theoretical ceiling should be, but
whether or not any more was to be
made to bring into operation such
provisions of the law as now exist.
On that point Secretary Wickard
said he would approve livestock CELL
ings "if practical plan for livestock
marketing can be evolved" There
were few men in livestock circles
who thought it possible to evolve
such practical plan" because of
the numerous classifications and
qualities of livestock
The following table shows the
actual far mprice and the parity
price on livestock on July Is, the
last date for which such information
is available.

Spectators generally adopted a
hands-of attitude in the buyine

the four months from March l to
July of this year, leaving most
of the transfers up to the farmers
themselves, the Agriculture Depart

The department said that land
values and volume of transfers lev

trast to the substantial increases
noted in both brackets during the
year ended March /. Even then,
the report stated, more than 60

scrap piles this week, trade reports
said today, as output Of the metal
for ships, tanks and guns continued
close to capacity.
Results from the current SCRAP
drive still were coming in and steel
men expressed hope they would be
able to start winter with better
supplies than they have now.
Scrap collections usually fall off
as cold weather sets in.
Wood substituted for steel sheets
in truck bodies was expected to help
out the tight situation in both
sheets and strips. Many sheet mills
already had converted to plates.

BY FRANKLIN MULLIN.


CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-With wealth
er regarded as ideal for development
of the Nations huge corn crop now
virtually out of danger from the
normal summer hazards of drought
and heat, corn prices tumbled al
most 2 cents bushel today, carry
ing market quotations of other ce-
reals lower.
MidWeek rallies in corn, associated
with good industrial demand. were
virtually wiped out by this fresh re-
treat and prices sank to around sea-
sonal lows and closed more than q
cent lower than a week ago
Liquidation of September con-
tracts, which become deliverable in
nine days, reports of record barley
receipts at Minneapolis and a let-up
in industrial demand helped to
weaken corn. Wheat, which fell
cent to quotations about a cent low
er than a week ago, reflected q
light expansion in receipts at spring
belt terminals and increasing move
ment of grain from the Northwest
to Chicago.

Wheat Receipts Rise.
Traders noted that wheat re-
ceipts at Minneapolis and Duluth,
principal spring belt terminals, in
creased to 1876 cars, about so more
than week ago but almost 600 less
than a year ago. There were indi-
ctalons that more favorable har-
vest weather recently had permitted
large-scale field operations, although
high loan rates continued to check
producer sales.
Minneapolis September wheat is
more than 7 cents under the Chi
cago contract and there were reports
OF increasing movement of spring
wheat in this direction, although
much OF the grain has been Govern
ment feed. Yesterdays run in
cluded large percentage of No. l

A record run Of barley at Mime
apolis, resulting in ordering of an
embargo effective Sunday, attracted
much attention. The fact that
Minneapolis oats prices are about S
cents cheaper than Chicago also at
tracted attention.

Northwest, no sales were reported.
