Beef Ceilings
Go Into Effect
Retail butchers are required to
post by June 4 the new ceiong
prices for all beef cuts although
the prices were effective Monday.
May 14. ’
Beef prices under ceilings es
tablished for May 14 will remain
ui effect until July 31, when the
LFS will require a reduction of
4 */s percent in prices paia for live
cattle. Another similar reduction
ot 4^ percent is to became effec- "
tive October 1 also at the produc
er level.
These step-by-^tep reductions
should result in a lowering of the
retail price of beef by 10 percent
by fall, the OPS says. Reductions,
however, will depend on style
and type of beef cuts and their
grades. Ceilings becoming effec
tive next wdek will place prices
at about the level prevailing last
February. ,
The OPS, regulations relating
to beef are designed to control
prices slaughterers pay for cattle,
prices charged by wholesalers,
as well as charges for various
cuts to be paid by the ultimate
consumer.
