Off-ration Tea Slumps -Firms To Find Out Why
London, Nov. 9, +
A month's experience' of tea off the ration has shown such a sharp decline in sales that importers, blenders, and retailers are getting together to find the cause.
Just before rationing ended it was found that sales were higher than the average pré-war consumption; merchants made special efforts to maintain the rate.
But in most parts of the country retallers, with their shelves packed with tea priced from 3s. a 1 upwards, report lagging sales,
Last night a upekesman for Lyons said: "We bellove the reason is that most housewives were building up stocks, when the nation was generous.

Or, it may be, more home- grown pigs could be sent to the fresh pork market with the object of building up meat sup ∙plics to an annual total of about
2,000,000 tons.
At this figure the Government believes it would be safe to abandon bulk buying and restore the meat trude to private hands.
