MEAT PRICE SCHEDULE
‘Margin Still Unsatisfactory’ (N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Jan. 20. "The increase in meat operators’ schedule prices for woolly lambs in the coming week will be appreciated, but still the margin for seconds of the lighter grades is unsatisfactory to producers,” said the chairman of the Meat Producers’ Board (Mr J. D. Ormond), in a supplied statement tonight. Mr Ormond said the increase of a halfpenny per lb for woolly lambs of all grades was not an adequate adjustment. 1116 schedule from the start of the season had been based on a pessimistic view of the market, a view which events had not justified.
Mr Ormond said that the board’s information on schedule prices for f.a.q. quality lambs, compared with realisations, revealed the margins the operators were taking were too great. He considered that further adjustment was due.
