a week in the larger cities of the

of markets and rural organization in
the U. S. dept of agriculture.
There are no definite statistics
on stocks Of food on hand in the cit

some months past have been giving
us the total carload shipments of va
rious commodities, but it will re-
quire fully a year of collection of
such statistics before we can esti-
mate the weekly or daily consUmp-
ton of various foods in the cities.
