Food Producers See
Lowering of Prices

CLEVELAND, Nov 20.-Food prices
will drop, not through the lowering ri
the cost Of labor so much as by lower
markets for raw material.
This was agreed uron by some OF the
largest food producers in America, who
are attending the annual convention Of
the American Speciality manufacturer s
Association. which opened a two days
session today.
No forecast was made when tho lower
prices would come, but it was predicted
tho reduction would follow tho purchaS"
of raw material on lower market after
present high price stocks arc exhausted.
The evils Of soap Relating were s"t
forth by speakers ut the meeting Of
members OF the soap section and the
consensus OF opinion that SOAP prices
will remain as high If not higher because
OF the scarcity OF fats and oils on &C
count OF the demand in Europe.
