OTTAWA. Nov. 5—K. W. T531101‘. Prices Board food con- troller. said today he saw little likelihood oi an immed- iate reduction in the present Canadian butter ration.

He was commenting on a Vancouver dispatch which quoted dealers there as report- ins the possibil ty o! a reduc- tion in the ration to four ounces from the present allot- merit of six ounces per person per week because oi a "strict" quota imposed on retailers due to low production.

Mr. Taylor said it was im- possible to make a definite forecast at present but added that it was thought likely October butter production would be high because oi good fall pasturage conditions. October production figures will become available shortly.
