Since the amounts of goods from Morehead City sold at these prices are 

 not known, it is not possible to arrive at true weighted average prices or 

 mark-ups; a non-weighted average of the above prices is 12^ cents at

 These mark-ups are only the second step of the distribution process (the 

 first being between fishermen and coastal producer-dealer); the products 

 are still subject to at least one other, the retail (or restaurant) mark-up 

 before the consumer acquires the product, and possibly two or more. These 



3. Government controls of prices under OPA were lifted by Executive Order of the President 

 on October 15, 1946.
