Coffee Prices Drop Ten Cents a Pound in Council Bluffs
Coffee went down 10 cents a pound in most Council Bluffs stores Wednesday as wholesale prices fell. J. J. Hannan of the Retail Food Dealers Assn. said the cut would likely lower retail prices, noting grocers previously sold at list price without chasing profit. The peak price cited was 31.25 a pound before the cut, with some country grocers charging 1.40. He attributed the decline to a stronger dollar in Brazil rather than a coffee-market drop.
