in Last Year.
WHILE FOOD PRICES SCARED
PrOfiteers Holding Out Until

ExpectHunger-ImpeIled Strikes
To Boost Their Profits.

Washington, Aug. T.-Altho prices
of practically all important foods have
shown a substantial increase during
the last year, stocks of food held in

Guided from the comparison.
THE fact that stocks of many i'm
pOrtant foods were much larger on
June 1, this year. than on the same
date last year" said the commissions
statement. while prices were as high
or higher, apparently means that they
are being withheld speculatively for a
world demand which is not now here
but which is expected when hunger
impelled strikes secure higher wages
with which higher food prices can be
paid
supply and Demand Not Working.
To show that the flaw of supply
and demand is not work." the COM
mission listed eight staple foods which
on June l showed an increase in
stocks withheld from the market
ranging from 3 to 298 percent over
the stocks on June l, 1918, and in
each instance there was shown to have
been a substantial advance in the
wholesale price during that period.
Stocks of frozen fowls showed a maxi
mum increase of 29S per cent and the
price. despite this fact, increased
cents a pound. Wheat stocks showed
an increase of TIA per cent with an
increase of price of 81 cents; flour
stocks, an increase of 81 per cent, with
an increase in the price per barrel OF
nearly three dollars; egg stocks an
increase of 9.S per cent with an in
crease in price of IL cents, and butter
stocks. an increase of 129 per cent
with the price soaring IL cents above
last years figure. Salt beef. canned
salmon and canned corn completed
the items in this table, the latter
showing an increase of 81 per cent In
stocks with an increase in price.

err factors. In the corn trade, the principal
Influence was the prospect that receipts

troubles on the railroads. Such a shrink
age OF supplies hers and at other terminals
was regarded as decidedly bullish. Open
ing corn prices, which varied from the
same as yesterdays finish to INC higher,
with September $1.S2I5 to S1-S3H and De-
cember $1.51lA to Sissy, were followed by
a temporary sag and then by material up
turns all around.
Later, the market except for September
delivery reacted sharply owing to the fed
eral trade commission report that food
stuff supplies were plentiful. Besides the
walkout of white employees at the stock
yards here exerted a bearish influence and
so. too did talk of railroad embargocs on
wheat, as that perishable freight might be
handled. The market closed unsettled, 1lac
