Fargo. Dee 19.-Compctition in the
handling of food stuff in North Dakot,,
has been "reduccd to a minimum ac-
cordins to the report of the United
States grand jury which conducted an
investigation of food prices.
The report made public today ad.
vises that the probe be continued by
the grand jury when it is rccovencd in
January.
ut appears quite evident that terri
tory rights are respected by various
wholesale houses and thereby cOmptti-
tlon is reduced to IL minimum" says
the report. ut further appears that u
uniformity of prices to the retailers is
generally. adhered to thus assuring to
the wholesaler uniformity of gross
profits. -
WHOLESALERS ARBITRARY
'The wholesale dealer apparently
occupies the position of exacting from
the retailer an arbitrary price and
consequently is not interested in so1v,
ing the question of the cost to the
consumer but merely sells to the re
taller at a certain percentage of gross
profits. "
"After weighing the testimony Of
certain retailers under investigation
we conclude that there is a tendency
to demand unwarranted prices on
certain commodities and not within the
scope of the prices as formulated by
the bureau Of justice and fair prices.
Therefore with the question of in
terests of the public in mind we feel
that this matter should be fupther con-
sidered at the reconvening of this jury
in January"
