gust % ciaD.-According to gov
eminent reports, the supply of meats
in cold storage has fallen of recently,
and while live muttons showed a de-
cline last week, values were strong
for the best class of steers. West
ern cattle will make up a large part
of the supply during the next few
months, and sellers look for break
in competition with range stock.
Traders state that choice steers will
hold up on account of a light supply
in sight, but this is a small part of
the meat trade. and should not be
used as basis for the general mar
ket to consumers of ready product.
Compared with one and two years
ago, present prices of beef cattle
show a decline of more than 81 per
100 pounds on the hoof, while the
range of prices the corresponding last
week last year for hogs was 1S.5Oa

More Confectionery Sold Because

Saws Expert,

Candy has not taken the place of al
cohol for men who formerly INDUCED

ton ban, according to Walter C.
Hughes. secretary of the National
Confectfoners' Association.
In letter to the State Department
relative to the coming session Of the In
ternational Congress Against Alcoholism
Mr.. Hughes today placed the confec-
tionery industry as fifth among those
benefited by prohibition. Savings
banks, the soft drink industry, ice
cream makers and motion picture
theaters, in that order, had drawn
greater proportionate profits out of
the dry edict than the candy trade,
he said
THE theory that men addicted to
the use of alcohol have become candy
eaters since the advent of prohibi-
ton is based entirely upon wrong
premises and is not logical he wrote.
More candy is being consumed be-
cause the people have more money to
spend, not alone for candy, but for
everything else that they want that
