VIII Be Plenty Of Corn.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-The nation
should put every bushel of corn pos
sible into cattle, hogs and sheep.
Everett C. Brown, president of the
Chicago Live Stock exchange. back
today from Washington. after a con-
ference with Herbert Hoover, brought
this message to Chicago.
1t is certain that there will be a
vast over supply of corn, while the
meat supply will be short this win
ter, Brown said.
Few cattle, withdrawal of the dis
tillers from the corn market and linn
tied exports will all tend to increase
the corn supply, Brown pointed out.
Prices Too High to Gan.
CHICAGO, Aug. 18.-The canning
season is on, but Mrs Consumer
can't can as in former years. In
normal times the market would be
flooded with every variety Of cam
able fruit, Chicago retail grocers said
today, but this year is an exception.
Scarcity and an abnormal demand
also gets the brunt Of blame.
Apples which sold this time last
year for fifty cents to $3.50 bushel,
are 81 to SO today. Last year peaches
were high at SITE and s2.00. Today
they are $3.50 a bushe1. Pears are
So, compared with So last year.
Much fruit faces the danger Of rot
ting on the trees in western orchards
It was also asserted, owing to short
age Of farm labor. Packing cases are
high also.
Cherries and berries are from Is
cents to 81 higher a crate this year.
Public Won't Stand for II.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1s.--Eggs won't go
to a dollar a dozen, nor butter to
dollar pound--as predicted by east.
ern agricultural experts-because the
public won't stand for It.
Chicago dealers admitted this today.
Further, owners OF over six million
cases Of eggs in storage here fear be-
fore the season is over they may have
to take a loss on the greater portion
Of the supply And lastly Chicago
dealers would not be surprised to see
Herbert Hoover step in and put max
imum on eggs.
This last statement was from Prest-
dent Davis, Of the Chicago Butter and
Esq board who declared reports Of one
dollar eggs as perfect rot" The gov.
ernment investigates all such reports,
he said.
Davis admitted that eggs were high
er today than a year ago at this time,
but he said the government report for
Aug. ! showed there were 42,129 more
cases in storage now than last year.
Other dealers said that while eggs
were higher they could not increase
much more because high prices al
ways diminish consumption and there
was limit to the consumers pocket
book.
Davis said there was difference OF
s to 10 cents between the wholesale
and retail price Of eggs. This repre-
sents the profit Of the middle man,
distributor and grocer. The latter, he
said, gets approximately five cents of
this.
Eggs went into storage early IN the
season at so cents wholesale. Later,
