O'Connor, Terri- torial Price Executive, says it has been confirmed by wire to the Price | Division of the Territorial OPA of- | fice from the Alaska OPA represen= tative in Seattle that wholesale price on beef shipped to Alaska | dealers' is up only three-quarters cent to oné and three-quarters cents per pound over November, 1941, level. Under previous control of MPR 1194, Alaska's basic price regulation, the statement says this increase at wholesale should have reflected to consumers only one or two cents javerage increase per pound on the | various retail cuts over the pre- Pear] Harbor prices. Actually many | | retail prices were found, by survey, | ito have been advanced far more than this average amount. The pre-Pearl Harbor price to 1Alaska meat dealers for Grade A | beef side at two of the largest whole- | sale suppliers in Seattle was 22 cents per pound. One now sells at 22% | cents, the other at 23% cents per §pound. according to the confirming wire. Ceiling prices established on No- | vvembux' 1, throughout the Territory, were computed to make liberal al- lowance ‘for thls increase at whole- sale—all other acquisition and sell- | irig “éxperises—together with a fair |and equitdble war-time margin of | profit, further stated O'Connor.
