Predicts increase in Bread Prices

SAINT JOHN, N. 3.. Aug. i3— rCPJ-Altliough bread prices ma‘; not advance immediately in all parts of Canada, en increasing number of shakers ‘must find ro lief in higher selling prices when their present stocks become ex- hausted, F. N. Myles. Saint Jonn. said tonight. Chairman of tiic National Council of the Baking Industry, Mr. Myles said he was making the statement on behalf 0-’ all bakers in Canada.

Bakers now could calculate the exact increase in the cost of bread caused by the Federal _Government‘s recent removal of the subsidy on shortening. De- pending on formula quality, tne removal would cost each baker from one-quarter to one-half cent per loaf. he said.

Flour prices also were increas- en 30 cents per barrel last week. fuilmving an adjustment in mill feed prices. This additional cost. to the baker was about one-sixth of a cent per loaf. Wait paper prices had increased more than b0 per cent, and a further boost of rbout 25 per cent would become effective soon.

"These overnight increases, plus the accumulation of smaller in- creases in all other supply and labor expenses, are raising began; costs about one cent per loaf." said

Mr. Myles. Rapid increases in prices of eggs. pastry flour, shortening.

Effect Of Soaring Beef Prices On Local Market Is Viewed With Concern

Beginning Monday the average consumer in the Province as well as the average consumer in the other eight Canadian provinces, will face the prospect of paying the 55mg price as the American consumer plays for beef and beef products without the advantage of the Amerfcan's higher wage standards.

Charlottetown retail meat stores men last nigiht expressed uneasi- ness at the lifting by the Canadian Government next Monday of the embargo on beef and bee! products shipments to the United‘ ‘States and were unanimous in the opinion that the impending jump in prices would meet determined buyer re. sfstance from the City housewives. Yesterday, Charlgtttctown .0911- sumers were paying 60 centaper pound for T-bone steak, 60 cents for sirloin, 47 for roast beef. and 3B cents for the average out of boiled meat. One City retailer said that if the estimate of dealers in larger Canadian centres of a 20 to 25 per cent jump in meat prices was correct. the new retail prices for steaks would be ‘I5 cents a pound and a five-pound roast - little enough for a moderate-sized family's dinner - would cost $3.00. The very cheapest cuts of meat. those used for boiled dinners and stews. would cost the consumer between 45 and 50 cents a pound.

Based. however, on the present live weight prices for cattle on the Toronto market as compared to the prices paid in Chicago, the-Japan, tottha Canadian consume?“ may he even more than 25 per cent. The City retailer said his prediction was based on the fact that; while good steers were selling in Toronto for from 19 to 23 cents a pound, the same quality was bringing from 26 to 40 cents a pound in Chicago, so that the retail price to the Canadian consumer might well jump 30 per cent to maintain; equality. ~ Moreover, he said. beef and beef products purchased by the Cana- dian consumer would likely be of inferior quality to those he has been consuming since the embargo was imposed in 1942, because there is little doubt that only beef of superior grade will be shipped to the United States, thus leaving the Canadian consumer to pay practi- cally the same price for a poorer grade of beef a; the American pays for superior quality.

Another retailer said the jump in beef prices to the consumer would likely result in a “sympathet- ic" rise in the price of pork and pork products because with the sudden disparity between the prices of pork and beef products, there would naturally be a pronounced increase in the demand for ham and bacon of which, he said, there are, approximately. 100,000 pounds iri the Government cold storage plant on Esher Street at the

present time.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13 -—- (CF) — Laurence steinhardt, 56-year- old veteran of such ambassedorlei hot-spots as Moscow, Ankara and Prague, today was appointed United States Ambassador to Canada.

Local Man injured At Tignish Run

The limit o'n live cattle is an American-imposed quota o! 400-000 head a year.
