FEATURE ARTICLE
U.S. Wholesale Prices
Each month we provide a weekly summary of prices at wholesale markets. With our September 1995 issue we added coverage of the Chicago, Miami and Dallas markets to our coverage of New York and San Francisco. This information is available everyday at the University of Florida's Web site. If you try to check it weekly you will soon learn how much easier it is for us to do it for you! Our format also makes the information much easier to read. Unfortunately the translation to our web page caused us to loose the essence of our paper format. Still, you will find the following information much easier to follow than the University's format.
