COST OF LIVING DE-
CL|NES-FOOD STUFFS
ARE CHEAPER THAN 1910

A decline of two cents in the
Wholesale price of eggs Tuesday and
a drop of thirty to thlrtyfiye cents
a hundred pounds in the market for
hogs at the stock yards reflect a
continued movement toward lower
cost of living. Tuesdays wholesale
quotation for eggs; fourteen to six
teen cents, Is sixteen cents a doz-
en- lower than at the beginning OF
the year, and eight cents lower than
a year ago.
Compared with prices a year ago,
hogs are now selling about $1.25 low
er on the hundred pounds, cattle are
fifty cents to 81 lower and sheep
are So lower.
Wheat and corn are now worth
about eighteen cents a bushel less
than at this time last year.
Dealers i'm eggs say the present
low prices are due in part to excess
i've stocks put up in cold storage las
spring, although the principal reas
on is the mild winter. which has
caused the hens to lay more eggs
than usual at this season of the
year.
The big corn crop of 1910, ex
ceeding that of any previous year
explains the lower prices for thai
grain and also the reduced prices
of livestock.
Wheat is cheaper because of {
much larger worlds crop, which has
made importing countries independen
Of the United States and left the
farmers Of this country restricted
largely to their home market. Ever
though wheat is so much lower nov
than year ago, 1t IS still relatively
higher In the United States than IN
any other important wheat prodslc
ing country.
Receipts of hogs at the five pri
cipal Western markets Tuesday were
100000, the largest in more than {
year, and 10000 more than the cor
