S2,500,0 900. and the loan of 81, 900 has

ton, were in favor of the present

For instance, tomatoes which cold at
25 cents per box retail thirty days ago
today are quoted around 10 cents, while

But for high freight rates and lack
Of railroad facilities, some dealers de-
clare, prices on foodstuffs would be

cause a reduction in canned goods as
well as fresh vegetables and fruits, they
aver.
A Canvass of the retail, wholesale and
fruits today brought forth the follow
ing summary of the situation:
There is tendency In all lines OF
foodstuffs toward reduction. with an av-
erage reduction of % to 30 per cent over
a month ago in effect, vegetables and
fruits suffering the heaviest cuts. Cab
bage, potatoes, onions and other staple
home commodities cost much less than a
few months ago.

There is an oversuppiy Of peaches

eco more bushels of potatoes than last
