I noticed this as well. There were still some of the Chinese Motomasters available, but you could see that the Fram-built filters are returning to the shelves.
Obviously there must be a rather significant reason for this..... I'm curious now!
Went to CT this weekend, and the china filters are almost gone. All newly stocked Fram built filters. I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but those filters gave me a bad impression first time I saw them. That shiny rough metal for threads was enough to put me off. I too would like to know the reason!
Why not give CT a call and find out why?
