FOOD PRICE INQUIRY
ASKED by MERCHANTS

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, SeRt. rs
Resolutions demanding federal in
vestigation of high prices OF wheat
and other food products have been
drawn up by officials of the San An
tonic Retail Merchants association
and will be acted upon at a mass
meeting to be held here Friday night
under the auspices of that organi;a-
|tion.
Secretary Adolph Crasso of the as
sociation said that the merchants OF
Texas were disappointed at the APP
parent discontinuance of the invest'-
cation recently begun by the govern
ment. Recent advances in the prices
of flour, breakfast foods and other
staple groceries, he said. had reduc-
ed the profits of the retailers to such
an extent that they could hardly af-
ford to handle them
San Antonio grocers are of the
Opinion that the increase in whole
sale prices is not justified by the re-
lationship between supply ard de-
mand.
