SENATOR OWEN APPEALS
 FOR LOWER DISCOUNT RATES

Washington, Dec 2.-An appeal by Senator Owen, democrat, Oklahoma, to the federal reserve board for general lowering of it's rediscount rates, brought response tonight from w. P. G. Hard ing. the boards governor, which deciar- edssfI1at the Organization was reluctant tp discuss proposed, ehaiiges sia} discount rates' because such discussion wouie have an unsettling effect and give thpsc pest in position to form an opinion as 70 the probable action of the board an ad- vance over those not thus situated"
 Senator Owens letter said that reserve bank earnings from present discount rates were running at 150 per cent. per annum putting the government in the position of profteering' and in some cases absolutely stopping legitimate dis tribution."
 Governor Harding countered with the statement that the senator was ignoring the economic forces governing the move ment in prices which for months past have been in evidence all over the world" "The board believes the unfavorable conditions which are now the subject of so much complaint were inevitable, Governor Harding added. and could not i in any event have been long deferred lit confidently asserts that but for the precautionary measures taken several l months ago, conditions would be far
 worse than they are, with the prospects
 of stabilization and revival much more i remote"
 To the profteering charge, Governor
 Harding retorted that the profit of re-
 serve banks, after paying the govern. ment franchise tax would be, not 15C
 per cent. or more, but barely seven pel cent on their liability to stockholders

October 1. Other declines on November 29, as compared with October l of this year show: Smoked hams. 3S per cent. fancy breakfast bacon, 15 per cent. standard bacon. 25 per cent. fresh skin- ned shoulders, 90 per cent; and lard 10 per cent.
 Explaining why the wholesale price has failed to fall as fast as the live stock quotations an official of one of the pack ing houses said: !
 There are two features of the com, parative price situation that should be borne in mind. One is the price of by products the other the cost of labor The average consumer naturally thinks oi meat animals only as they affect his table. He sees that the price of hogs has dropped and he thinks. of course that meat should follow at once.
 "Only about 75 per cent. of the live hog is meat. The other 24 per cent. con sists of waste and by-products, whict just now have little value. Also in tht carcass there are parts that must bt sold for low prices.
 'Iabor is now receiving much greater rewards than 1t did in 1913. the total in crease of plant wages has been more thar ITO per cent.
 "Thus, though there have been sub stantial decreases in wholesale porf prices, these price drops cannot quite rqual the fall in live anima prices, be cause of the conditions outlined. y''
