Food Prices in Area
Fairly Stable Despite
Slight National Rise
Food prices in the Washington
area remained fairly stable \his
week, although an Associated Press
roundup from New York indicated
slight price rises on the average
across the country.
Spokesmen for the major retail
food distributors in the District said
the price of food was essentially the
same as this time last week. Normal
changes in prices, resulting from
market conditions, were the only
ones noticeable, the spokesman said.
The Associated Press roundup said
Government purchases for price
support and shipment to Europe put
firm floors on the prices of many
foods. The rail embargoes on the
eve of the expected railroad strike
confused some markets, but most
retail outlets had ample supplies, it
was reported. •
, Meat supplies were adequate fn
most places, although production at
slaughter houses was still below last
year’s level because of the packing
house strikes.* If the strike ended
there would be nothing on the hor
izon to indicate any widespread in
crease of prices in the near future,
food spokesmen said here.
The dried fruit industry hailed
the Agriculture Department’s an
nouncement that it would enter the
market as a buyer. The trade be
lieves this will take up the surplus
and leave the market healthy when
the new pack season begins.
The roundup estimated that con
sumers are spending about 10 per
cent more than they were a year
ago. Wholesale grocers reported
dollar volume up an average of 5 per
cent over last year.

Archie Hutson, District director of I

in the District Building yesterday.
Five companies submitted bids,
ranging from $158,000 to $177,000,
Mr Hutson said. He added that ad
ditional time will-be required before
the low bidder is determined be
cause the District has asked for six
alternate plans. The building will
take a year to complete, Mr. Hutson
said.•
