He said he would pub lish the list. ' ' Joel A. Eastman, market master of the public market, concurred in Blge low's explanation of why some market prices were as high as at groceries where much more rent is paid. Regular grocers. .Bigelow and East , man declared. can afford to lower prices on a few "leader" items to - compare favorably with public - market quotations. Loss of profit on these Items is made up on other sales.! Market men Belli only one or two things i In most cases, r they said, and their i prices were enough to give them a fair return and- that's all. ' - BASE 03f WHOLESALE FIGURE "We study the market ' quotations of the dally newspapers." said Bigelow, . "but " many times lately, noticing dls ' agreement In newspaper reports, we have arbitrarily set maximum prices which were less than newspaper - quo tations. " Prices in the market, Bigelow de clared, were made so that the pro- ducer would get as much ai if he Bold i wholesale to retailers.' "Complainants who - object to Jap- - anese and -Chinese selling- in the market , f orgret ; that these same for eigners supplied us through the retail- ers before the markets were estab lished., They didn't come here with the market.", N Salem Airplane Will .
