PUBLIC WARNED
Of PRICE RISE

Prices Of some foods in Wash
ington have risen faster and are
consequently higher than the
general average of prices through
out the country, it was disclosed
today by officials of the consum-
ers' counsel of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration in
warning the public to beware of
profiteering.
AS an example, quotations on
eggs were cited. Last February
local retail prices averaged 23.7
cents a dozen. BY october 10
they had increased to 42.1 cents
a dozen, in comparison with the
national average Of 32.5 cents.
On the other hand, drops were
noted in the costs of potatoes and
hens. Butter was boosted from
24.8 to 1913 cents a pound during
the nine month period, however,
even though prices paid to the
farmer decreased slightly. . $500
