Discontinuance of certain trade practices by the Cream of Wheat Co. of Minneapolis was ordered by the Federal Trade Commission today in a complaint. The company was charged by the commission with attempting to main- tain standard resale prices for its products, which was held to be an unfair method of competition. Findings of the \commission declare the resopndent's policy of naming and enforeing adherence to minimum resale prices for its product, in con- nection with fts Nation-wide ad- vertising, and its dominating posi- tion in the market for package cere- als has had the effect of substan- tially lessening price competition among producers of cereals prepared from purified wheat middlings and to anhanc the price.of such cereal m consumers. . s { RAISING THE AMERICAN FLAG out i .
