Matrons Storm Markets As Prices Fall Paris. The first official communique commun-ique in France's new war against high prices brought seventy women to the poultry section of the central markets mar-kets to compete for About thirty chickens. Some of the housewives fell back on lobster or other sea food, but even then there were more buyers than provisions. The market officials says, however, that the experiment promises good results, because Sunday's Sun-day's arrivals were below normal in everything but vegetables. The official offi-cial market communique is intended to inform the people just what provisions pro-visions have arrived, the quantity and the quality. The public is notified-that notified-that all .quantities remaining unsold when the wholesale bidding is over, will be ottered for sale at retail. The effect hoped for is suppression of the ol.l habit of storing all provisions unsold un-sold to wholesalers, so as not to gorge the market and affect prices.
