PURCHASED STOCKS

Mr. Remedios said that all his clients had purchased their stocks before the wholesale prices were controlled. They had to pay to the wholesalers $17 a picul or, in some cases, $17.80. The average was,

however, about $17.40 or a little, over 17 cents per catty. He produced receipts of various de- fendants to prove this.

It would, therefore, be impos-

clients to sell at the prices fixed.
