Decrease In Wholesale Beef Prices

TORONTO, Aug. 24 — (OP) - Wholesaie beef prices for medium- low grades slipped Tuesday to levels prevailing before lifting cl the export embargo last Aug. 16. Packers say glutted atockyords caused the decrease.

A Canadian Press survey show- ed that most meat packing com- panies expect they will be forced to lower by a few cents prices set after- the lifting o1 the embargo on cattle shipment to the United States.

In most cases tzhls will not af- fect the retail prices since many butchers had an ample supply of beef, and didn't. raise the price rrntll they had to buy new high- er priced stock.

It is not expected that this lowered wholesale price twill alpply to top-grade beet’.

Ottawa reports indicate all com- mercial bed! prices there are back to pre-enrbsrgo level.

1n Halifax a break in the Un- ited States market for beef re- sulted in a five-cent decrease in carcass value. This ao-cent a pound carcass price is expected to _lra reflected on the rclail marker. by the end of the wcok.

Wholesale beef prices in Winni- peg have dropped one-three cents a pound, but retailers say they will continue to sell at the pres- ent price.

Montreal and Vancouver prices have remained steady during the last. few days.
