 Ipervision of food prices went into eff
 1 feet in Chicago today, when the first
 | of the daily prices which Harry A. Wheeler, food administrator for Illinois. considers fair, were formally announced Prices as they change will be published
 daily. and iron, time to time, as the price committees can agree on prices, other staple articles will be added to
 the list The prices the retailer should
 pay the wholesaler also win be pub lished SO that the consumer may know what the committee considers a fair ] profit for the retailer. The prices given out today include flour, sugar and po- tatoes.
 l The prices fixed today as fair averages ] are about what are being asked by rep resentative grocers in Chicago. The price fixed for flour in quarter barrel sa cks Is from $2.95 to $S.1S, for which rel itailers recently have been asking $3l5. | On one-eight barrel sacks the. price was fixed at $1.4a to N.60 as against $l.59 asked by the retailer. Five-nOund sacks were listed by the food administrator at SS to g cents and retailers were quot ling at s cents. < Potatoes jumped In price overnight and were quoted by the food administrator at 4S to 46 cents peck, while the gro- cers were selling them at 40 to 43 cents. Sugar prices were fixed at 7A to SM cents a pound. while dealers were ask ing 91x and 10 cents
 The scarcity of sugar. however. has lcompelled retailers to pay fancy pre- miums in order to get enough to supply their trade. Sales in nearly all cases today were limited to two pounds to q customer when other goods were pur- chased.
 Reports from railroad officials prom- ises some relief from the present short age of sugar.
 MT Wheeler points out that not all re- tall grocers have agreed to abide by these prices. The remedy suggested for consumers is to refuse to buy from all
