Weiss, assist ant chief of the Agriculture De partment chief of the Agricul ture Department's home econo mics . research branch, made these predictions yesterday be fore the- 32nd annual Agricul ture Outlook Conference here. Supplies To Be Ample Mrs. Weiss said that supplies of major items are expected to be "ample" next year. She said "some .evidence of lower food costs" is seen in recent price cuts for coffee, pork, and lard. ' But she said marketing charges are not expected to de crease and "retail food prices next year are expected to aver age close to this year." Furnishings About Same Barring a slight increase in textiles, she said estimates also point to little change from this year in the cost of household furnishings. The same, she said, applies to automobiles 'and home Duuaing materials. But the home economist said current low inventories and in creased fabric prices "suggest that clothing prices will not turn downward."
