Agreement has been reached in principle with the Eire Government about revised prices for agricultural produce. The new prices will be announced as soon as the necessary detailed schedules have been worked out. We hope for an early increase in the supply of fat cattle and meat from Eire. Larger supplies of other produce must depend on increased production, which may have to await an improvement in the world feedingstuffs position.
