New Beef Ceiling
Prices Next Week
Retail butchers are required to post
by June 4 the new ceiling prices for
beef cuts that go into effect May 14,
says the Detroit District Office of the
Office of Price Stabilization. These
beef prices will be effective until July
31. On that date OPS will put into
effect the first of two ceiling price
reductions. The next ceiling price reduction will take place October 1.
These step-by-step reductions in
beef prices will result in average reductions by fall in the prices consumers pay of about 10 percent, says
the OPS district office. Actual percentage reductions will be partly dependent on the type and style of beef
cuts. The ceilings effective next week
hold retail prices at about the freeze
level of last February.
The OPS regulation controlling, beef
prices is part of a "group of regulations
that reduce the prices that slaughterers can pay for beef cattle and that
wholesalers may charge retail butchers. The cattle prices will be reduced
about 10 percent on May 20. Another
4% percent on July 29 and still another 4^_ percent on September 30.
The new beef ceiling prices are
based on zones that take> into account
distances from markets, transportation and the like.
Grocers To Fix Ceilings
Retail grocers as well*' as wholesalers on May 14 are required to put
into effect ceiling prices for a "long
list 01 standard grocery items, sayS
the OPS district oflice at Detroit.'This
means that all sellers must recalculate their ^prices on many, items to determine their allowable Ceiling prices
under the regulation which .affects
them. Grocers in this county can get
any information and help "they need
from the Detroit District OPS Office.
