city, in his effort to fix the RESPONSE
bility for the loss of $4,000 worth of

mittcd to rot
The discovery was made in one rail
road yard, and Immediately the Mayor

Army Food Sale Hinted
Commissioner Day Fears COM
petition OF Chain Stores Un~
less Baker Lowers His Prices

Possibility that the city will aban-
don the sale of army surplus supplies
was forecast yesterday by DR.. Jonathan
c. Day, Commissioner of Public Mar
kcts.
DR.. Day declared that, from the
prices published and the gist of q dis
cussion between Edwin A. O'Malley, a
Deputy Market Commissioner, and Cap
tain A. a. Stewart, zone surplus prop
erty officer, he is convinced that any of
the chain stores could sell goods as
cheaply as the city could dispose of the
army's supplies.
He declared that unless the govern
ment's quoted prices are lowered it
would scarcely be to the city's advan-
tage to 90 into the foodstufs business.
He said that he had been informed that
the packers have purchased large por-
tions of the stores at from 33 to so
per cent below the cost to the govern
ment. The packers originally sold this
food to the army, he said.
He added that he fears the packers
armys food and left the poorer quail
ity goods for others. He dispatched
Deputies Smith and OMalley to Wash
lngton 10 attempt to obtain lower quo
tatlons from the Secretary of War
Mayor Hylan has aided their efforts
with letter to Secretary Baker.
"A fine volunteer organization is in
shape to handle the goods,' Dr. Day
declared, but | VIII hold up all plans

ccive more definite information about

Report on Crop Damage
DriveS Prices Uparard
Effect Of Wilson's Message Is
Obsc'1red by Estimate Of
Heauy Loss Caused in yuIy

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Every staple in
which there arc dealings on the Board
of Trade rose decidedly in price TODAY.
Whatever effect to the contrary might
have been looked for from the address
of President Wilson to Congress in re-
gard to the high cost of living was en-
tirely obscured by the opposite inhu-
ence Of the government crop report,
which was issued shortly before he
spoke.
SO impressed were traders on Change
here to-day with the unexpected mag
nitude Of the crop losses shown during
July that the Presidents views ap-
pearcd to be virtually ignored as IA
market factor. Price chances turned
instead almost entirely on the exccp-
tional severity of recent crop damage,
estimated at rs per cent for July alone.
The July cut of 221 100000 bushels in
estimated wheat production was. said
to be .he most drastic on record.
Extreme upturns Of four cents a
bushel in the value of corn, and Of
$175 a barrel for pork, resulted. De-
cember delivery Of corn jumped to
$1.547s and September pork to S47.75.

House to Act Promptly
Much valuable information was

IN the House to-day.
"The House viii proceed imm odiately

dent suggested that further appropria-
tions should be made. Thus far no
estimate of the amounts needed has
reached Congress from the depart
ments for which the President desires
the extra money We hope these esti-
mates will be sent in promptly, so that
they may be investigated and the ap-
propriations acted on by the House
The President has suggested lcgis-
lation along certain lines. Some of it
can be provided by amendment to ex-
listing law, and this CO be done with
out delay. Other suggestions are revo-
iutlonary in character and very far
reaching. They Will require study and
careful framing into legislation. The

WASHINGTON, Aug o.--Thc Federal
Trade Commission has ordered the
Mutual Candy Company. New York
City, to discontinue its practice Of re
curing dealers TO resell its products
to the public at standard resale prices
fixed by the Mutual company.
The order specifically prohibits the
concern from:
l. Entering into contracts. agree
ments or understandings with deal
ers. whether jobbers, wholesalers or
retailers, including its stockholders,
to the effect that such dealers, or any
of them, in reselling the products
handled by respondent will adhere
to any system of prices fixed or
established by respondent
2. Securing contracts, agreements
or understandings from such dealers

A. Discriminating in favor of or
against it's iobber-stockholders or
other dealers by means of any system
Of so-called purchase dividends" or
otherwise, conditioned upon the

fuse to sell to any such dealer be-
cause of failure TO adhere 10 any

beef products are completely under the
control Of the packers Every foot OF
freezer space is contracted for by
them. Let fleet of ships, with inde-
pendent dealers controlling the freezer
space, make the trip to Australia or
South America and the cost of living,
at least in meats, would descend
rapidly.
Beef Prices Jump
"Of course, the importation Of this
beef would lower the price of domestic
beef This would undoubtedly an
tagonize tho. farmers and cattlemen, re-
sulting in tic loss of considerable po-
litica backing to the man who fostcrcd
the importing project"
Dealers who expected the prices of
commodities to slump trifle IN view of
the firm note in the Presidents mes
sage also were disappointed. The price
Of beef climbed from 30 cents pound
wholesale to between 32 and "a cents.
According to Peter Becker, president,
of the Retail Grocers' Association, the
retail dealers are too hard pressed by
competition at present to indulge in
protiteering Federal food control
could not shave the margin Of the re-
taller any closer than it is at present,
he declared.
Grocery Profits Small
"Mcn are going out of the grocery
business daily" Mr.. Becker said. "It
is not because they are actually fail
ing in business, but because they find
it utterly impossible to do justice to
themselves and their customers under
present conditions. The money they
have invested is much greater than in
pre-war times, while the profits are
considerably less.
"Porhaps if the government gets
after the men who handle the food
before we receive it something can be
done in the way of lowering prices.
There is undoubtedly some profiteer-
ing, but not by the retailer. He must
bear the brunt of it because he con-
fronts the consumer"
The manager Of A. j. Callahan &
Co., downtown grocers, declared that
the speedy releasing of army food
supplies would alone relieve the situa-
ton. He pointed out that tho keynote
to the present difficulties is the pre-
ponderance of demand over supply.
