butter led the procession of receding
prices on the pro-food products to-
day. The nation wide agitation aid +

movement to combat the trusts that
have advanced food prices.
Today the special grand jury, whose
particular office it will be to consider
the effect of combinations among the
dealers in food stuffs, was sworn I'm.
