New York, April 19.-Close observers
of the food products markets today
expressed the belief in a probable
speedy setting in of an era of low prices
for food stuffs.
One provision man today declared
that the tendency Of prices is just now
u~nmistakable downward and that the
people may look for a decrease in the
retail prices of beef and pork in
short time. The pientitude of grain,
he argued, has compelled the farmer
to feed it to his cattle, which are wax

market.
Other provision men expressed sim
liar views based largely on the decline
in the grain markets and the predic
tions of bountiful crops both here and
abroad.
