PRICE OF FOOD MAY GO DOWN,
Cudahy Reduction story Causes Talk
of a General Decrease.

OF General Decrease.
Reductions in the price of foodstuffs
in general are likely to come in the near
future, according to opinions expressed
by Chicago jobbers and meat packers, and
inspired by predictions credited to Ed
ward A. Cudahy Of Omaha. There is,
however, no general move just now to put
lower prices into effect. Mr.. Cudahy, it
is reported in dispatches, said that his
company had reduced prices 10 per cent.
As soon as the financial conditions be-
come more settled l look for further de-
clines in the price Of live stock" said
Michael Cudahy, president of the Cudahy
company. There is an abundant supply
and reduced prices to the retailer and
consumer will very probably follow. Re-
cetpts, which have slightly fallen of dur
ing the recent disturbance, will be all the
heavier when the furry is past. l think
the Omaha report that a 10 per cent de-
crease had already been made is errone-
GUS. In fact, if it were so | think l as
president would be aware Of it A. A.
Sprague II. of Sprague, Warner & Co.
held out some hope of a general cut IN
prices. Everything is so high now that

go lower" he said. Il look for cheaper
foodstuffs if there is any appreciable
change in the present level of prices. Just
at present, however, quotations are fairly
stable and l know of no general move
ment toward lower cost Of living"
whether foodstuffs are to go lower all
depends, of course, on supply and de-
mand," said Franklin MacVeagh. I'm
many lines of merchandise handled by US
there has been a short supply. There is
at present no general outlook for lower
prices that | know Of Here and there,
of course, there will be minor fluctuations.
Cereal products have gone up tremendous
ly, and there is some doubt whether
these prices can be maintained. That
largely depends on speculation"

Convention of Trust CURRIERS'

At Chicago 400 delegates appointed by
State Governors met, under the auspices
of the National Civic Federation, to dis
cuss the curbing of trusts. President But
Ter of Columbia university, who presided,
made an address, in which he warned
against premature or ill-considered meas
ures for the regulation of public service
corporations, lest they disturb that faith
which civilized man has in his fellows and
upon which rests the whole enormous
structure of our credit system He add
ed that if this were destroyed there would
be few corporations of any kind left to
regulate. At the same time he admitted
that the country was face to face with
new economic conditions and abuses
which must be checked. He thought that
the Sherman antitrust law commits the
nation to a too extreme policy by eXalting
competition over cooperation. Many
economists of national reputation took
part in the discussions which followed or
delivered set addresses. Bankers mer-
chants and labor leaders were also heard.
Judge Grosscup aired his favorite plan
for a national corporation commission and
Samuel Gompers said that the trade
union was the proper accompaniment of
the trust. The majority favored some
form of federal regulation of all corpora
TONS Many of the delegates took the
same position as that of President But
Ter against the Sherman antitrust law,
it being the sense of the convention that
the law was more at fault than the trusts
for existing conditions.

NATIONS ARE IN ACCORD.
Details of the RussO-Japanese Treaty
Show Complete Settlement.

The State Department in Washington
has received a complete translation of the
the new treaty of commerce, navigation
and fisheries between Russia and Japan,
and thus has obtained possession of its
important details. All the questions be-
tween the two governments have been set
tied, except the delimitation of the from
tier between Russian and japanese pos
sessions in the Island of Saghaln and
the settlement of the japanese claims for
maintenance of Russian prisoners of war.
The treaty follows closely the convention
in force before the war and provides for
mutual mOst-favOred nation treatment in
stead of a tariff liberty of residence and
travel; equal rights before the courts; ;
ownership of personal property and the
right to transmit the same; liberty of con-
science and the burying of the dead, and
mOSt-favored nation treatment as to the
ownership of land not now open to for
eigners in Japan.
