FAVORABLE NEWS,

NEW YORK. July 81 (by the Asso-

the financial markets seem to offer
cumulative evidence that the country
is entering upon another and more
comprehensive phase of post bellum
readjustment.
Stocks of all descriptions exps-
rienced another period of liquidation

the years lowest levels. while L. s.

Much of the reversal was retrieved

views of Gov. Harding of the Federal
Reserve Board respecting the future
credit situation causing heavy short

DROP IN FOOD PRICES
FORECASTED FOR WEEK
Maryland Official Reports Fruits
and Vegetables Are to
Be Lower.

BALTIMORE, July 81 Especial. A
drop in all food prices, especially fruits
and vegetables, next week is forecasted
by Walter ]. Bienemann. acting fair
price commissioner for the state of
Maryland.
This seems to be borne out by the
statement of r. w. Norris, county agri-
cultural agent, that, although the retail
price of Anne Arundel corn is still
quoted in the markets at 10 cents a
dozep, the general slump in the quota
tons on vegetables has brought the
amount which the farmers are receiving
down to 45 cents, the lowest paid the
farmer fer Anne Arundel corn for sew
eral years.
On the basis of calculate which for
merly prevailed, corn for which the
farmer gets 40 cents a dozen and Oh
which the commission man is paid 10
per cent for distribution would retail for
90 cents. By this standard the retail
price of IS cents does not reflect a re-
duction in price proportionate to that
sustained by the farmer who raised the
corn.
Slump I'm Potatoes.
Another drop in the price of potatoes
is also reported by Mr.. Morris. Last
week farmers in Anne Arundel county
received SO per bIishel. This week they
are being offered at 81 to $3.50 per
bushel, with few buyers, in the market
at that price.
Comparing these prices with the gen.
eral market, in which the decline in po-
tatoeS has been almost sensational
Anne Arundel farmers are receiving
more than some other producers, as
choice grades are being retailed in the
markets at is cents a quarter of peck,
or $40 per bushel. Hucksters are Of
fering them freely in the residential
sections at 10 cents a quarter peck and
in some instances at 80 cents a peck.
The drop in cabbage also has
reached Anne Arundel county. 3 cents
per head being the price paid the
farmer this week. Cymblings. or
squash, as they are more commonly
called, are due for another drop at
retail. as the highest price paid the
farmer this week was / cent each.
Carrots, for which the farmer re-
ceived only 3 cents a bunch. are
about back on their pre-war basis.
when they could be had freely in
the markets for 3 cents.
The farmers have been receiving
more encouraging prices for wheat.
tobacco and tomatoes, according to
Mr.. Norris.
On wheat they received $500
pushed; on tobacco, 81 cents pound.
and on tomatoes, from 81 basket
up to 10 cents apiece The latter
record breaking price was paid for
some extra choice Anne Arundel
specimens.
Anne Arundel watermelons are not
ripe yet, according to the county
agent The prospects for a fine crop
are encouraging. he said. and the
quality promises to be excellent. and.
/6est of all. the price win be con-
siderably lower than last year.

IRON AND STEEL TRADING
FAR FROM SATISFACTORY

NEW YORK. July s1-Develop-
ments during the past week in the
iron and steel industry have been far
from satisfactory.
The transportation tie-up has re-
suited in a general slowing up of
production at the mills in the Pitts
burgh and Chicago districts. Fuel
shortage has been acute in certain
sections because of the drive for ex-
ira heavy loadings of coal for the
great lakes.
From a market point of view the
chief feature of the week has been
the falling Off in demand from auto
mobile and motor truck makers.
There has been more buying from ME
railroads. Car repair work has re-
suited in demand which has
brought scrap prices to higher levels
in the local district.
Tinplate. Pittsburgh, is now quoted
at 50 per box of 100 pounds Tinplate
mills in the Pittsburgh district nave
been forced to close on account or

tural material is more active, but IN
