NEW YORK, January 2s.-Hun-

a number of Americans were at the

luton" arrived here from Chicago

Americans about conditions in her

1t was unfortunate that in some

She said she did not think the
peace conference plan to bring the
bolsheviki into harmony with the
other Russian factions would sue

not be expected to adjust their oir-
fArences at Paris IL they could not
first do so within Russia itself.
She did not doubt that President

were friendly with the Russian peo-

BUTTER TO CENTS;
FRESHEGGSAT Is
These Prices Should Be Top
Here, Food Administrator
Announces.

Housekeepers in Washington should
not now be paying more than 10 cents
a pound TOR the best butter or rs cents
a dozen for strictly fresh eggs. accord
ing to an announcement made today
by the District food administrator.
The decided break in the wholesale
butter and egg market is. now being
felt in Washington. and the admints-
traitor contends that retailers charg-
ing prices higher than those mention
ed above are most likely profiteering.
He is anxious that the public lose no
time in reporting excessive charges
for these commodities and promises
that dealers In question will be fmme-
diately called upon to explain why
they should not be punished
Meat Prices Also Decline.
Meat prices, too, are feeling the de-
clining market and the administration
is advised that housewives in Wash
ington should be buying meats at prices
from to 10 cents pound below
those prevailing last week Fresh pork
duo thfilD are cSpcCldlty plcIiltIut mere,
The administration contends that the
local market is practically flooded
with these meats and it sees no reason
why their prices should not take a
tremendous tumble. The administrator
says roast pork should not cost more
than 35 cents a pound. He knows of
one dealer who is selling it for 80
cents a pound.
Following the general slump in the
wholesale butter and egg market the
local administrator has instituted a
close inspection OF the wholesale
trade in Washington and is carrying
1t on to the retail trade. The admin
istrator intends to see that the con-
sumers derive the benefits of this de-
Ginning market and that some re-
taiiers do not deliberately keep up
their wartime prices irrespective OF
the drop in the market.
The administrator believes, how
ever, that few retailers will resort to
profiteering. He bases his belief upon
the great increase in supplies and
the lessened demand. This in itself
should bring retail prices to lower
level
