Mr.. Hoover Says Consumer Is
Not Getting Benefit of Whole

REVIEW OF THE SITUATION

Wholesale prices of foodstuffs have
shown moderate though general de-
clines. but the retailers are not giving
the consumer the benefit OF these re-
ductions according TO a statement Is
sued by Herbert Hoover. federal food
administrator
The statement calls attention to the
fact that the law gives the food admin
istrator no authority over the grower
or producer at one end of the chain.
nor over the retailer at the other, but
only over the warehouseman, manufac-
turer, wholesaler and commission man.
These agencies, it says. are co-operat-
ing finely and the reduction of prices
will continue, but IT is indicated the
retailers have not yet made correspond
ing price reductions

The price. which is somewhat higher than

Text of the Statement.

The statement, in full. follows:
The food administration considers
that, subject to cooperation from the
farmers and the retailers, the corner
has now been turned in high prices. and
that most of the essential commodities
should. one after another, continue to
show reductions between now and the
end of the year. The food administra- :
tion has no control OF either the grow
er or his organizations. nor OF the great
majority Of retailers. The foundations
have been laid for regulation of the in
termediate trades, and where these
regulations have come into force-and
the trades are cooperating finely
considerable results are evident in the
wholesale prices
The current prices at which -four is
being sold at the mill door in jute bags
vary somewhat with the locality and
freight charges on wheat. Toledo show
ing the lowest prices at SO for first
patent and S9.70 for second patent, the
highest being Buffalo at 5000 for first
patent and 5000 for second patent;
Minneapolis, $1,000 for first patent and
1916 for second patent. This shows a
large reduction under August prices.

to these difficulties there exists through

Prospect Of Big Crops.

"The very large corn supplies from
the new harvest. together with the
larger supplies of barley, velvet beans.
cottonseed. peanut and soya bean meal,
all promise much cheaper cattle, hog
and poultry feed. and will enable the
production of beef. pork, poultry and
dairy products at much lower levels of
cost to the farmer than today, and his
earnings can be maintained with lower
prices of products. The packing, cold
storage and other manufacturing and
wholesale distributors in these trades
are in course of regulation.
Beef already shows some tendency
toward reduction in wholesale prices
but these have not been SO far reflected
In the prices quoted by the retailer The
price of beef at the packers door is
14k cents per pound. as compared with
16 cents in the month of July, while the
average retail prices of round steak in
796 cities is 81 cents per pound, against

Sugar Price Should Drop.

Beet sugar prices are being controlled
by the manufacturers upon a basis that
should reach the retailer from to So
cents per pound. depending upon the To-
cality. Sugar to confectioners from the
beet factories is now being restricted and
temporary shortage in the northeast
ern states gives no warranty for the
advances by retailers to over cents per
pound. For this allows fair margin upon
the prices paid by them for cane sugar
they are now selling. In any event. the
rise in retail prices Of sugar during the
last three days in the eastern states is
solely due to the advancement of these
prices by retail dealers in the face OF
short supply. and does not bear any re-
lation to the prices at which these sugars
have been purchased.
THE price of the new Cuban, Porto
Rican and Hawaiian harvest in Decem-
Der will maintain the best level as soon
as It Is available. The beet is one and
three-quarters below August prices and
without the concerted action Of beet
manufacturers and the ref1ners of cane
sugar prices would now be UP to Is
cents. owing to the short supplies dur
ing the next few days.
