Abstract

For practically every commodity - beef, wool, grains, hides, lard, milk, eggs, etc. - there are standard grades based on quality. A price based on these standards is a fairly accurate measure of value. A person who deals with one of these commodities can use such price quotations in his business operations; in fact, he must. These quality specifications are essential if there is to be any fair and intelligent pricing of the product.
