Kansas City-Another week of good
growing weather has greatly improv-
ed the condition of corn, and wheat
has entered the harvest stage under
favorable circumstances. The volume
on trade is not up to the level of ear
lier months, but compare favorably
both from standpoint of tonnage and
on a monetary basis with the same
season last year. Difficulty in making
shipments, due TO car shortage, is the
most dlscouraging note in the present
business situation.
Omaha-The settlement of the strike
among the building trades is still
pending and this situation has had
some effect on retail trade. Some
merchants complain of slow collections
though it is true that more seasonable
weather has been beneficial to nearly
all job lines. Jobbers in dry goods
groceries, hats and caps, and drugs
report BUSINESS in good volume, with
collections satisfactory. With the ex.
ceptions OF winter wheat, crop conci.
tlons are good aud predictions are be
ing made of a large increase in the
yields of oats and corn.

Commissioner Dillon said he did not
mean TO charge that officials of the
Health Department favored the milk
dealers.
"But I mean TO say that the rules
and regulations Of the New York Health
Department have been such. and are
such. that they help the big dealers
who have been robbing the milk con-
sumers Of New York for years past"

Egg Prices Tumble;
Six Carloads Arrive

The New York price for cold storage
eggs took big tumble yesterday, when
six carloads Of April and May eggs
were sold at 35 cents a dozen whole
sale. The price of storage eggs on
Tuesday was 81, 80 and 40 cents a
dozen wholesale. The egg experts OF
New York said the stock sold yesterday
was the finest grade of storage product
in the country. These eggs should re-
tail at from 80 to az cents dozen, 1t Is
said.
Two reasons were ascribed TO the
sharp drop in prices yesterday. John D.:
Dillon, Commissioner OF Foods and
Markets, said it was practically impos-
sible for New York dealers to hold on
to storage eggs, because Of the state
law which went into effect last Decem-
Der compelling merchants to stamp all
storage eggs as such. This utterly pre-
vents retailers from selling storage
eggs in good condition as fresh eggs at
fresh egg prices.
p @. Foy, publisher of "The New
York Daily Market Report" said the
publication in New York newspapers
yesterday morning of facts and figures
from the government relating to the
enormous supply of eggs in the ware
houses Of the country, together with'tht
dull conditions, caused the bottom to
drop out of the market.
at was virtually a smash" said Mr..
Foy. "And it came directly on the
heels of one of the biggest egg deals Of
the yean Droste & Snyder, of this
city, purchased 30,9o6 cases of eggs dur
ing the morning from J. A. Long, Of
Portland, Ind. one Of the egg kings of
the Middle West. The price is not an
nounced, but inasmuch as Droste &
Snyder sold part of the eggs at 35 cents
a dozen it is easy to see that somebody
must have dropped lot of money"
The first consignment Of the second
Virginia crop of potatoes was received
in New York yesterday.\ New York
dealers expect about one million bush
els in the next few weeks. 1t was pre-
dicted yesterday that the price of po-
tatoes would drop about 80 cents bag
within the next week.

Milk Drivers Win
All Their Demands
Union Recognized, Wage
Scale and Vacations Grant
ed by Sheffield Co.

The threatened strike Of drivers OF
IA Sheffield Farms, Slawson-Deeker
.oupany was averted yesterday, when
the company agreed to recognize the
union and to grant the wage scale and
vacations. 1t practically agreed to the
same conditions which the Borden
Farm Products Company accepted last
week.
This is taken 70 mean the end Of the
strikes among those employed in the
distribution of milk. Union men have
considered Sheffield Farms and Borden
the companies most strongly opposed
TO the organization Of employees. Since
both have agreed 20 treat with the
union. it is believed that the smaller
companies will follow suit. The En-
pire State Dairy Company and the Alex
Campbell Milk Company accepted the
unions demands early last week.
Under the new agreement the men
will be paid SIS a week and will be
r1anted one day off month and one
weeks vacation a year. The companies
will employ only union men. although
men at present employed who do not
wish to join the union will not be re-
ouired 20 do so. Many Of the smaller
companies already pay the scale Of
wages demanded by the workers. With
the new organizations success against
the stronger companies in mind, repre-
,sntstives Of the men believe that in

Edison Urges His Men
To Buy Liberty Bonds

ORANGE, N. j., Oct. 24.-Thomas A.
Edison, who has been almost inces-
sanity at work on a war device for the
United States government during the
last three months, paused yesterday to
send a telegram to his West Orange
plant, urging all his employees to buy
Liberty bonds. 1t reads:
Zone hundred and forty-one years
ago our forefathers fought for less
than we are fighting for to-day. We
have made heroes of the men who
fought to make this country free,
and we have branded as towards or
traitors the men who refused to
fight.
''Posterity will pass similar judy
ment on US. The men and women
who do their duty now are creating
a heritage for their children and
their children's children. Germany's
place in the sum means nothing
short OF a world domination. Every
Liberty bond you buy this week is
message from you to the German
Kaiser that his ambition to conquer
the world cannot be realized"

No Change in Wheat Price
Unless Peace Is Declared

WASHINGTON, Oct. q. = Unless
peace should intervene and the food
administration come to an end. there
will be no change in the government
purchase price of the 1917 harvest of
wheat. This announcement was made
to-day by the food administration In
denial of rumors that the price was to
be altered
In event of peace, IT was pointed out,
the large quantities of wheat now in
accessible in Australia and India would
be available to the worlds markets
and the maintenance of the present
American price would be highly un-
likely.

British Capital to Combine

LONDON, Oct 24.-"The Central

employers soon will be formed with the
purpose Of protecting the interests Of
capital and in an endeavor to adjust
relations between employers and en-
ployes in order that a further spread
Of state intervention will be rendered
unnecessary.
The leading association of employers,
"The Central News" says, is reported
to have approved the plan. The root
o. the idea is the establishment Of a
central authority, which constantly will
review conditions of work and wages
without government interference and
will have the power to negotiate agree
