Chicago reports that women’s demand for top grades has prompted retailers to raise prices beyond wholesale levels. J B Mitchell of the Chicago Butter and Egg Board cites a 25 percent premium for a 1-2 percent quality gain and notes imports rise with cheap foreign butter. The fanciest grade was selling about 87 1/2 cents per pound, while other grades spill into 24 to 86 cents wholesale and 29 to 11 cents retail, suggesting consumers would pay far less if demand for only the best eased.
