of Chicago. Today the Municipal
Markets Commission, will meet to
complete final arrangements for the
starting of markets at the Goldsmith
School property. Maxwell and Union
sts., and Eckhart Park, Chicago av.

Both are poor districts and con-
gested. The markets, according to
plans, will seel foodstuffs to~the peo-
pie at cost. Eventually the commits
sion will establish five more mar
kets.
We've done a great deal toward
lowering the cost of food already"
said Aid. Lawley, chairman of the
commission. "a number of the gro
GERS have cut prices, announcing
that they were selling goods at the
usual rates. A number of others have
been kept from joining the food grab
bers and price boosters crew by the
city's action. August Geweke, pres
ident of the Cook County Truck
Growers Assn, will tell us tomorrow
where and how to buy"

IMMENSE CROP OF
CORN IN THE WEST
But There is Such Shortage Of Cat
tie, the Prices viii Continue
to Remain High.

A Kansas City commission company.
in a letter to customers, among other
things makes the following interesting
forecast of conditions:
In weighing the prospects for cat
tie feeding this winter it looks like it
would pay big. It is seldom you see
and 10 cent fat cattle, on corn under
soc, but never before has there been
such a shortage of cattle, and never
before have We seen as high prices in
July, with prospects of higher prices
in August Cattle receipts at this
market since January LIST are 10000
short Of the same period last year; or
5000 short a. the five western mar
kets; the lightest in twenty years.
High prices have come to stay, as
with this shortage of cattle and our
population increasing over a million
each wear, how can we expect lower
values.
Everything so far points to an i'm
mense crop of corn and roughness In
Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska, and the usual yield in Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, and with
the shortage of stock to consume it..
prices of feeds will likely be much
lower. (Some predict 35c ccrn.)
Last year Kansas, Oklahoma. Ne
braska and Missouri were sellers on
account Of the dry weather, shipping
out everything, and with poor grass
nurt by the drought last year, they
have not yet replaced them. These
states will be buyers this year instead
of sellers, thus cutting the supply
and increasing the demand.
