Reviewing the recent record of
cattle marketings and beef purchas-
es it was pointed out that in the
early weeks of July the Prices Sup-
port Board received as much as 3.5
million pounds of beef per week for
shipment to Britain. Because beet
supplies since mid-July have been
very little more than the amount re-
quired by the Canadian market, it
has been possible to reduce Board|"
purchases to about 750,000 pounds
a week. During the next few Weeks,
depending on cattle marketings,
Board purchases may be further re-
duced.

Since the inauguration of the beef
exchange plan with Great Britain and
New Zealand, the Prices Support
Board has purchased approximately
45 million pounds of beef for ship-
ment to the U.K. This represents
about three-quarters of the amount

estimated to be required to offset di-
versions to New Zealand beef to the
United States during the preseut
calendar year. Any reduction in cur-
rent buying will help to conserve the
balance of the contract for delivery
later in the season when cattle mar.
ketings are likely to be heavier than
at. present.

The minister, stressed, and again
emphasized, the desirability of farm-
ers continuing to hold their cattle on
