No change can be expected for the high point value of creamery butter, since only 87 million pctuids have been allocated for civilian use for the month. There are increases, however, in the supply sup-ply of rationed meats moving into in-to the market at this time, but the increase is so slight it may not even be noticeable in the actual ac-tual supply. The overall outlook for December Decem-ber is this: Estimates call for between 5 and 6 percent less beef of all kinds, rationed and non-rationed combined, than m November, and 4 percent less lamb and mutton. The 15 and 16 percent increase in pork supply and a 3.5 increase in veal supply will offset the decrease in beef and lamb production. |
