This imitation about tho
profiteer has taken many and
various forms and the general-
ly conducted inquiry in to
wholesale costs and selling
prices of various commodities
is doing much both for the deal

lic for it lias shown that loc-
ally at least the merchants ara
not only not profiteering but
are in some instances celling
goods at a price no greater
than present wholesale cost.

ing discontinued in some local-
ities which were released from
Federal quarantine and whero
