S-14-tf Washington. — The agriculture department forecasts shorter civi lian supplies of meat, butter and cream during the rest of the year but promised continued large sup plies of fresh vegetables, eggs and 'grain products. Prospective large non civilian demands are expected to curtail civilian meat supplies below the amount available during the last three months, and the quality will be ‘‘generally lower”, the bureau of agricultural economics said. Output of better quality pork will incerase seasonally but no Im provement in the quality of beef is anticipated. Butter supplies may well be even smaller than in the last month or two as a result of sea sonally lower production and low distributors' stocks, BAE said. The bureau noted a recent trend toward lualdistribution of butter with available supplies disappear ing close to producing areas and shortages developing in urban areas on the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards. Poultry produtlion will in crease Beasonally during the fall and early winter, but still will be less than during the same period of last year. Meantime, ample egg stocks, particularly of the lower grades, will be on the mark et. BAE commented that this somewhat gloomy outlook may be "altered by the progress of the war in Europe”. It also reported that this year’s deciduous fruit crop will be larger than last year's, that a record citrus crop is in prospect, milk MIMGU WAU FINISH t. omeosTcoviiiiiwrtwos- 4. «ixis wnu w*ia raimfd mwa* 5.
