(By The Canadian Preset Restaurateurs, used car dealers and shoe merchants across Con- ada tended today to follow a “wait and see" policy before act- ing on Prices Board authority to raise their prices up to a moxi- rnum of l0 per cent.

Even in Ottawa-where the an- nouncement was made last Satur- duy——dealcrs felt they would ra- titer have more information about the order before putting it into effect.

Hotel and restaurant owners, in many places, said they would ii- bide by their local association's decisions at meetings to he called shortly. a survey by the Canadian Press revealed.

Though in some places meals irecelvod a blanket nickel increase. elsewhere caterers felt competih. ion would leave prices much where they were unless such sup- plies as meat. poultry and fish 1n illrn became more expensive.

Used car dealers reacted more immediately to the permission. Tn up-scaiing their prices they felt. hotter fortified to combat what they alleged to be a continuing black market in used cars. They felt that. assured of receiving prices more in line with their black market value. citizens now would bring in vehicles fondle- posal and‘ sale in the n al way.

Shoe dealers were alniost un- anlmous in their agreement that retail prices will remain un- changed until manufacturers’ pri- ces to t-hem go up. One said he wasn't aure whether the order mighfn't just legalize increases which have been in effect for th= past two months. rather than tol- erate new ceilings.
