At the same time, "utility" grades (low grades) of beef and lamb will be made point-free. Values of creamery butter and processed foods will remain the same. Points will be Increased, however, for cheeses and so called farm or country-type and process butter. Supply Decline OPA Chief Chester Bowles said point values for the choice cuts of pork loins and hams were restored because of a sea sonal decline in supply and heavy buying by the armed serv ices and civilians. The new pork values range from four to eight points per pound for loins and two to nine points 'for hams.. Whole hams average five points per pound. The new point-free status for utility beef was announced last week. Point values for "commercial," "good" and "choice" beef steaks and roasts will continue at their present high level, OPA said, because "many areas are in short supply." Other beef cuts, such as short ribs, plates, bris kets and shanks, continue point free In all grades. Bowles said utility grades of lamb were made point-free be cause it was feared that such cuts would not sell with similar beef grades off the ration list. Fish Shortage Return of canned fish to ra tioning was prompted by short ages in nearly all parts of the country. The more popular va rieties salmon, bonito, shrimp, tuna and yellowtail were set at six points per pound; mack erel and sardines at four points and canned oysters and miscella neous products at two points. Values of cheeses were in creased because civilians are buying faster than allowable un der the allocated supply. Cheddar and Colby cheeses were raised to 12 points, cream and Neufchatel to six, and Swiss, limburger and Italian to eight. The changes in the current ra tion list were two weeks late in coming out due to a disagree ment between OPA and the War Food Administration over re moval of better beef cuts from rationing. The new values will continue through Sept. 2, end of the August ration period. The OPA also announced that another 10-point red stamp DS would be validated next Sun day and would be good indefi nitely. Livestock Portland, Ore- Aug. 10 (CP) Livestock: Cattle. 350: calves, SO.

Wall Street New York, Aug. 10 (U.R) Broad investment demand for utility shares, which made a new high for more than four years, lifted the main list of stocks today fractions to more than a point. Trading expanded moderately on the movement. Buying in utility stocks was described in Wall Street as "real investment demand" and attributed to belated realization that the power and light indus try has virtually no reconver sion problems to solve with end of the war. Furthermore, the industry faces good peacetime prospects.
