CUT IN PRICES
ONLY A BLUFF
Interests Have Released Their
Hold on Our Throats to Get
/ Fresh Grip

Washington. Nov 16.-The so-called re-
duction in the price in meats is a deliber-
ate manipulation Of the market, accord
ing to DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry of the department Of
agriculture. in a statement made here to-
day.
''rhe interests which manipulated the
prices upward, said DR.. Wiley, ";empor-
ariiy have released their hold on our
throats for the purpose OF getting a fresh
grip. The so-called reduction in meats is
fictitious. Its manipulation was deliber-
ate Just as the Increase in prices was un-
just. unreasonable and uncalled for by
conditions prevailing throughout the
country. The prices were fictitious at the
top notch because they were forced there
arbitrarily by the interests. Develop
ments will show that the interests are
after some one 1t may be some inde-
pendent movement they hope to drive
from cover"
Secretary Wilson said to-day that the
announced reduction in prices was ,ab-
normal. lie said it was due to the fact
that the drouth in the cattle raising
country had increased the cost Of hay
The farmer, with cattle on his hands
must pay an excessive price for hay and
rather than do this he is sending his cattle
and sneep to market.
This tumble is not all normal and will
not all be permanent" declared Secre-
tary Wilson, but a plentiful corn corp
and plenty of grain will enable the farmer
to feed freely and we should get a lower
level of prices. Lower prices are certain
to come, provided that somewhere be-
tween the farmer and the consumer there
is no combination nor agreement to keep
prices up"
