removal,

The price ceiling on butter, now generally selling over the ‘TO-cent- a-pound line, will be fixed on the basis of 67 cents a pound for wholesale solids at Montreal.

This. said Mr. Abbott, will "stab- ilize butter prices a little below those prevailing during recent weeks."

Meat price ceilings will be re- established al: levels which are in line with thc new and increased prices in the Anglo-Canadian food agreement which "in turn have recognized the recent advances ‘n farmers feed and other costs."

"This will mean that Canadian wholes1le and retail prices for pork products will be considerably above those prevailing a month ago, but less than many of the ‘prices which have been reported ,during the la" two weeks.

‘Beef, lamb and veal prices will Ibe fixed at levels moderately above the former ceilings."

Observers said the ceiling might mean that bacon, now ranging from '75 to $1 u pound across the country, will settle at around 75 to 80 cents while beef, lamb and veal might drop 15 to 20 per cent in price.

The new ceiling order on butter \\‘lii e issued ‘in u day or two.‘

Wh lc it will take about tux: weeks to draft the necessary schedules on meat prices, Mr. Abbott said h‘ expects that the effect oi tonight's announcement will be to "bring meat prices ai-

The Minister also disclosed that the Government has opened dis- cussious aimed at Canada obtain- mg access to additional supplies of butter should current stocks and production prove insufficient to meet essential requirements until the new season of production gens underway.

He concluded: .

"I again llff" every Canadian v/hether producer, manufacturer of distributor, ‘* his own true in- tefest as well as in the national lnlcrcst, to make the utmost effort to keep prices and costs at the lowest possible economic levels.
