Milk Prices Jump to Twelve Cents a Quart in Town
Retailers announce new milk price of twelve cents a quart seven cents a pint, arguing producers raised costs in Dauphin and Cumberland counties to seven and a half cents. Producers contest the rise and advocate eleven cents a quart and six cents a pint. C E Sheesley of 601 Walnut St seeks federal action from Herbert Hoover, with hopes the price will hold through winter unless the government intervenes. He says retailers want a wholesale rate near 3.22 dollars per hundredweight, still enabling eleven cents a quart and six cents a pint at retail. A committee could review the adjustment if needed. Chicago's scheme sets wholesale at 3.22, though local rates show 3.49 per hundredweight. Cream prices rose accordingly with milk.
