Enormous World Demand,
Reports Commission.
BIZ United Press:

By United Press:
WASHINGTON, Aug With
prices generally higher stocks Of
food IN storage this year are much
greater than last year, the federal
trade commission reported today.
The commission charged that ZAP
parently' these stocks are being held
speculatively for still higher prices.
The excess on June l. 1919, over
June I a year ago, was 10 per cent
in the combined total or a number
OF the most important foods in dry
and cold storage. the commission
said. This did not include surplus
army food.
The fact that stocks OF many i'm
portant foods were much larger on
June /. 1919, while prices were as
high or higher. apparently means
that they are being withheld specu-
latively for q world demand which
is not now here. but which is ex-
pected when hunger T-impelled
strikers secure higher wages with
which food prices can be paid, the
commission said.
