FOOD PRICES TAKE
SHARP DROP IN -.
NEW YORK
Eggs Are Fully Fifty Per Cent Lyw-
er Than Six Weeks Ago, While
Other Necessities Cost Ma
terially Less.
Chicago Also Reports Reduction in
Cost OF Eatables-Hogs Are $l.J5
Below High Figure.

NEW YORK. April 2l.--To the
farmer, who just now is being blamed
for the high cost OF meat products,
the Wholesale grocer is today giving
credit for the downward march OF
prices OF other food products.
The decline reached the retailer to-
day Up to this morning while the
Wholesale list showed material re-
ducuon, the average citizen was I'M
Affected He was purchasing the
old stock AT the high figure. but the
action Of the wholesalers in explain
ing that there had been material
drop forced the middleman's hand and
prices slumped.
Sample reductions reported We're:
Flour. on one. and one-half cents;
beans, 10 cents a bushel; pota-
toes, 80 cents barrel eggs. fully
80 per cent lower than six weeks
ago barley, OF two cents a bushel.
oats and oat products down 10
percent; all canned goods reduced
nearly one-third
The reason for the drop, the whole
salers say. Is that green goods and
market in such profusion that prices
OF the fresh product were. in many
instances, nearly as low as the pre-
served
CHICAGO. April 2l-Comparisons
made today OF the current wholesale
prices OF necessities of life In Chicago
show that the cost OF living has de-
creased and is expected TO decrease
slill more The decreased prices nave
not yet reached the consumer In all
products affected. but wholesalers
said today that they would reach the
onsuner soon.
The comparison shows the following
decreases i'm Wholesale prices since
Dec l, 1909. five months ago: Wheat
Sl-4 cents: corn, IL "a cents; oats,
: IA cents: -four. 90 cents; potatoes,
10 cents, eggs, II cents, butter .
cents; cattle. 80 cents: hogs. sl.95'
sheep, 10 cents, lambs. 90 cents.
One significant fact shown by the
comparison Is that the chief neces~
stiles OF life that have increased In
the wholesale price since Dec. |. are
plates and rounds These have IN
creased from 80 To 40 per cent in hVe
months. This Is accounted for here
by the nation wide-campaign OF edu-
cation oil how to cook such cuts anu
also by the absolute control Of prices
by the packers. In five months the
price OF cattle at the yards has de-
creased 80 cents a hundred weight,
yet Plates No 8" for instance, which
on Dec /. sold for 4 "a cents
pound, now sell for "a, 1t is charg-
ed that the packers, during the recent
meat strike" taught American house
keepers how to prepare cheap cuts
and then deliberately raised the price.
Further decreases In the prices OF
-four and butter are looked foI. The
butter market Is expected TO be affect
90 by the attorney-genefals agitation
against the Elgin butter board. while
the recent decline in wheat prices on
the Board OF Trade is expected TO af-
lCct flour prices materially.

There is every reason for casting 4

We want to urge our home folks 10
do their duty, we want to urge our
