CHEAPER FOOD PRICES.
Indications Are Reaction Has Set In, And
With Good Crops Consumers May Get
Benefit

Indications Are Reaction Has Set In, And
With Good Crops Consumers May Get
Benefit.
New YORK, April 10. The present
sensational drop in the price of potatoes
may mean cheaper food of all kinds.
Farmers are closing out their supply of
old potatoes for as little as 20 cents a
bushel, which is the lowest price in many
years. Other foods are also cheaper. AS
a result OF its investigations the Ameri-
can Agrlculturist for April 23d will say:
"A marked decline has occurred in the
prices of certain food products. If this
decline continues much longer, the com
missions that are Investigating high
prices will find themselves out of lob
Compared to the high point in wheat
last year, the present market at Chicago
shows decline of II cents bushel. The
decline in corn is 10 cents and oats 20
cents. In other words, the present whole
sale price of oats is 80 per cent below the
highest prices of last year, corn is off "a
per cent and wheat IA per cent.
''These declines in grain are reflected
in mill feeds. Wheat bran is now selling
IN the West at SIS or Sc a ton less than
previous highest quotations, decline of
a per cent, while middlings have declined
at New York points about So ton, or 12
per cent. Even cotton-seed meal is off
81 to "a, or to 10 per cent. Cotton it.
self is fraction of cent a pound less
than IN January, showing a decline of
about 5 per cent.
Potatoes have not been so low in
years, wholesale prices at present being
at 40 to SO per cent lower than in No
vember last. Vast numbers of farmers
held on to their potatoes until the late
winter or spring markets, and are now
glad to get rid of their stock at Is cents
bushel, whereas year ago they were
Wholesaling at Chicago at 81 a bushel at
this time.
Butter has declined per cent, eggs

Even beef cattle have no more than held
the high quotations of March, and hogs

and prices of sheep and lambs well main,
tanned. There has been a break in the
price OF hay at country points in the
west; beans are also cheaper.
Altogether, indications multiply that
a reaction in food prices has taken place.
With good crops in 1910 we may expect
the price of food to consumers to be con-
slderably lower than during the past IL
or Is months, although we do not look
for return to the phenomenallv low
prices OF 10 and 20 years ago."

VOLUNTEER PENSION BILL.
Retired Pay to Living Volunteer Officers.
Straight $50 Month for Others Who, are
Disabled.

WASHINGTON, April IA. A pension bill
OF sweeping provisions, under which all
surviving volunteer officers of the United
States Army who served six months or
more would receive retired pay according
to length of service and all honorably dis
charged enlisted men over seventy years
OF age and suffering certain degree of
disability would receive straight pension
OF S3Oper month, has been reported to the
House by Representative Prince of Hi
nois, from the Committee on Military
Affairs. In recommending the measure,
the committee report says that although
the volunteer troops formed So per cent
of the armies of the United States and
achieved SO per cent of the historic re-
suits, the regular officers have received
all the honors and rewards of the Govern
ment and the volunteer officers nothing.
The scale of retired pay for volunteer
officers, as fixed by the bill, is one-thirg
OF the initial active pay of correspondent
regular officers for those who served two
years or more, and for those of less time
OF service the pay is in proportion. Of
ticers who lost an eye or limb in the line
OF duty, Or incurred disability as prisoners
OF war, would receive the full benefits of
the act without regard to length of ser
vice. No officer who served more than
six months would receive less than $500
per annum, and no officer would receive
more than two-thirds of the present pay
OF captain in the regular army A
private soldier over seventy years Of age
would receive $50 per month, provided he
served more than ninety days and his
physical disability (not necessarily of
service origin was such as ito require
the frequent and periodical care and at
tention of another person.
The report of the committee includes an
estimate from the Secretary of the Int
rior which fixes the cost of the first years
