New York City.--Wheat, corn, cot
ton, some Of the metals, and those OF
the other commodities which lend
themselves TO speculation have been
declining for the past few weeks,
some OF them sharply, and the poor
consumer, who has seen the cost OF
living go up steadily since the panic
period, is beginning to hope that the
crest OF high prices has been reached
and that most of the necessities of
life may get back again to something
like real values,
Flour Steadily Declining.
There are indications that the back
ward slide has begun. Flour has
gone down % cents a barrel since
January, and S1.10 since its highest
price Of last year, and cast side bak-

kets, but meats stubbornly hold out.
Beef in Chicago is still about at its
high price of S19,25 per 100 pounds,
reached on March 2S, and pork is
only trife lower, and lamb and NUT
ton also refuse to come down.
Taking a list of fourteen commodi-
ties, such as wheat, corn. oats, beef,
pork, sugar and the standard metals,
it would seem that the top prices
were hit in. January. A number of
commodities reached prices then
which they have never since returned
to, although the falling off has been
by no means constant.
These market prices, although in
fluenced by speculation, usually indi-
cate the true level of values in the
long run.
OF the commodities chosen IL will
be seen that they reached their lowest
point for the year in April, and that
none have reached new high levels
since March, when four of the group
made high record prices. Nine of
these fourteen were dearest in Jan
uarv.
These standard commodities are set
forth in the appended table, which
gives the high and low prices, highest
and lowest prices reached this year,
together with the lowest prices in
1909. The prices are in the cash
