which the commission IL charged with
investigating. under q senate resolu-
ton, the report says:
III prices are found to have been
raised to higher levels In some Sec
tions than In others, making due al-s
lowance for quality Of product freight
and marketing conditions, It may be
inferred that an element OF ARTIFICIAL
manipulation has entered into the sd

One table submitted with tho report

was shown in prices in tho east and

No mention was made OF the differ
ences of marketing conditions In tho
