OPA Denies Request lor Mcrk-up

Los Angeles, Calif., Nov. 13-The Office of Price Administration announced today that it had denied a request of lumber wholesalers for an 8 per cent mark-up on mill ceilings. The wholesalers asked permission to acld the 8 per cent to mill prices and let it be absorbed by retailers, and contended such a mark-up would result in better distribution of lumber to smaller retailers. Large line yards, it rvas argued, were able to hire lluyers to go ottt to the mills, and obtain lumber, leaving none to be distributed to the smaller yards who could not afford such buyers. With the 8 per cent mark-up, the rvholesalers.could better serve the smaller retailers, it lvas contended.

In denying the recluest OPA upheld the contention of a large group of retailers, that they could not afford to absorb the requested 8 per cent wholesaler mark-up. Many retailers argued that any increase that they would have to pay, either in the form of a wholesaler mark-up or a higl-rer price to the mill, would have to be passed on to the consumer.
