In White Plains New York a General Foods spokesman said no planned price drops for ground coffee after a May 13 reversal of earlier boosts. Folger ground coffee saw a 54 cent cut to 409 per pound at Safeway, while Maxwell House remained at 421 a pound. The coffee price surge followed Brazil’s 1975 frost damaging much of the crop, lifting U.S. retail prices from 129 to higher levels.
