Stagg Co., Inc., Housewives ‘Breathing Spell’, By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE , WASHINGTON, April 24. — A | “breathing spell” from mounting | food costs is in prospect for Ameri- | can housewives. Government food supply experts |say that barring severe crop dam- age such as was caused by the re- cord breaking drought of 1934 the outlook is for a general levelling off | of prices in 1936 and probably a sub- stantial decline in meat costs to- | ward the end of the year. ! The plebeian pork chop, which became a patrician of the food fam- ily last year because of scarcity, is expected to cheapen still more early | in the summer and to register a no- ticeable drop next fall. | The cost of beefsteak is slated to ! join the downward movement along with other better cuts of beef. More- over, lower pork prices may have some “sympathetic effect” on prices of beef and lamb. Vegetables Plentiful Prospectively abundant supplies ‘or most fresh fruits and vegetables, |as well as canned fruits and vege- | | tables, indicate that these increas- | ingly important items in the family maintain relatively low price levels. The ubiquitous potato, however, may rise slightly in price | diet will | this spring. | Bread prices which, together with meat and lard quotations, dropped il ) ‘immedialely after elimination of the Food costs which dropped rasher steadily from late in 1925 until 1933, then rose smartly, are expected by Government experts to | “level off” in 1936.

Poultry Supply Grows The poultry supply on farms is but increasing. Egg production will be larger than last year. The effects of the new farm pro- be determined for some time, agr.cu.- . tural experts say. They do not ex- pect it, however, to materially alter the current prospect of gencrally increased supplies. The average cost of all foods, which mounted steadily for almost three years and reached an index high for the rise of 825 on Dec~ ember 31 last, has been dropping steadily since early in January. The composite index (average cost of all foods in 51 cities) was 80.6 in mid- February. The average price of all foods in the 1923-25 period repre- sents 100. While the average of all food costs now is about 20 per cent below 1923-25, meats recently were 1 per cent higher, and cereal and bakery products were within 6 per cent of that level. Eggs were 15 per cent below while dairy products and fruits and vege- tables were 36 to 47 per cent, res- pectively, below the 1923-25 prices e ee——— Talkie moi-es were recently mad: of native American bird voices in o sol{them su»t.es.fl o A .
