Judging from the wholesale level in primary mar- kets, retail prices have averaged somewhat higher thus far this year than last and are expected to con- tinue higher this summer.

Decreases were indicatedfor tuna and several other important species of fish and shellfish. Freezings of edible fishery ~ products in the continental United States through midyear were 2 per- - cent less than a year earlier. May — was the only month in which freez- ings were higher this year than last. July 1 cold-storage holdings of edible fishery products were about as large as on the same date last year.
