ment was made of a new low price for the
wear Of both raw and refined sugar. Re
fined sugar was quoted at I212 cents a
pound.
Corn and oats started downward in
sympathy with wheat. but resting orders
temporarily checked the decline in corn.
Profit taking and buying against bids
afforded some support, but there was
widely scattered selling and the price
closed 4 a cents lower. Provisions suf-
fered material losses.
Prices of vegetables continued to de-
cline. Six hundred trucks are engaged In
bringing to Chicago markets the products
of nearby vegetable farms, and the
growers, encouraged by the Council COM
mittee, which is battling for lower prices
of foodstuffs, are opening markets in
various thickly-settled districts of the
city, where people may buy fresh vege-
tables much under the prices charged in
the street markets. A survey of several
districts thickly dotted by grocery and
general provision stores shows that
dealers are cutting prices on everything.
The drop In wheat and -four is expected
10 result in lower prices for cornmeal, oat-
meal and other cereals.
