1 In all the markets except Boston it was found impossible to obtain accurate prices for many inter- 
mediate steps between receiving wholesaler and retailer; hence separate intermediate and retail margins. 
The difference between the wholesale and the retail price are shown as one margin. 
- The retail prices used, except for Boston, are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. All other prices 
used have been collected by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
