ceiling price of fertilizers in Eastern
Canada will result from removal of
a subsidy, Prices Board announced last
week. The Board said the change
would bring the price into line with the
level existing in 1941, and that the ad-
justment was necessary to enable man-
ufacturers to produce at prices in line
with the current 'Cost of materials.
Manufacturers in the Maritimes
will 'continue to receive subsidy pay-
ments, however, to keep the price there
the same as in Ontario and Quebec.
This was necessary due to the high
