Chicago. July 15.-The American

never was brighter from the stand
point Of the producer, and the con-
sumner, on the other hand, need nave
little teal in increased prices during
the fall and winter. In fact, a slight
reduction in beef prices may be ex-
pected by winter, while pork and nut
ton prices probably will see little
change, in the opinion Of G. B. Heine-
man, secretary of the Exchange.
The splendid response to the gov
ornment's request for increased pro-
0uctiop. the phenomenal reduction in
1osses from p~reventable diseases, es-
pecially to western markets, and the
satisfactory condition of most ranges
combine to make the outlook unusual

man.
The cattle increase. based on ex-
change reports from 50 markets and
covering the first five months Of h
year. is 1874 per cent over the corre-
spending period of 1917. Officials of
the organization say that late reports
indicate that the increase of 3,871,000
hogs estimated January l, by the de-
partment of agriculture, will be far
surpassed. and sheep receipts for the
first five months increased 397,327 or
6.3 per cent over the same period of
1917. The western lamb increase alone.

ANOTHER WARNING
TO STATE GR0cERs
Edmund Mitchell, Food Admin
Istrator; Defines now Sugar
and Flour Can BE- Sold

ITO the Grocers Of Delaware:
II am again calling your attention
to the importance Of complying strict
" with the rules of the Food Admin
istratiOn in selling sugar and -four.
1T may not be necessary in many
cases to again call attention to these
rules, but az the Food Administration
proposes to take drastic measures in
all cases where these rules are not
strictly complied with, l thought It
would not be out Of place to send an
other warning notice.
sugar can only be sold in Quanti-
ties not to exceed five pounds to con-
sumers in cities or towns, or ten
pounds to those In country districts,
unless for preserving purposes, when
it may be sold in twenty-five pound
lots, upon the customer signing GER
tificate. Certificates will be mailed to
you upon application.
"No dealer can sell to . manufac-
turer, sugar in any quantity unless he
receives a special permit from this
Office.
"Flour can only be sold in h-barrel
lots to persons living in city or town,
and u barrel lots to farmers or per-
sons living in rural communities, and
this can only be done ii this amount
is necessary to run the consumer for
thirty days.
Zone hundred per cent Of substi-
tutes must be sold with -four in all
cases.
"None of the above rules can be
deviated from without penalty unless
special permission from this Office is
received.

for Delaware"

GET SUGAR NOW
lam Manufacturers Urged to Buy
Seasons Supply At Once.

Jam Manufacturers Urged to Buy
Seasons supply At Once.
The Food Administration asks all
manufacturers Of jams and preserves
to take immediate steps to obtain
their entire sugar requirements for the
1918 pack. Federal Food Administra-
tors in all states are being instructed
to see that manufacturers of essential
food products requiring sugar take the
first opportunity of building up their
supplies.
The Food Administration takes the
position that preserves and jams are
essential foodstuffs, and that Gamers
perform a valuable conservation func-
ton. In the event that it is necessary
to reduce still further the shipping
tonnage that now brings sugar to the
United States, the Food Administra-
ton is endeavoring to guard against
any possible loss Of the fruits that
could be saved by canning.
This recommendation does not affect
other manufacturers requiring sugar.
