Chicago. III. Dec 21.-Crfticism d.
rscted at organized grain exchanges
when wheat prices, with all other
commodities. began tumbling se,sral
weeks ago, has materially decreased,
according to agricultural economists.
Many agricultural publications now
are aiming criticism at the federal
reserve board declaring that the 30
per cent Increase In discount rates
during the last year has worked
tremendous hardship on the farmer.
Grain men say that the price read
justment throughout the world, with
bumper crops and other economic
factors, made the fan OF grain prices
a natural consequence
With the grain exchanges free
from the unWarranted charges OF at
tempted price control attention FOR
the time is being centered on the
baker and his profit. In this con-
nection the national crop improve
ment service has presented an inter-
estfng discussion. Taking as q
working basis wheat at S2-l6 bushel
in Chicago, the association says
The farmer gets his cash at the ele-
vator, s213: the elevator takes
cents a bushel; ten days interest at
~ per cent would be .0l4Is Weighing
and inspection would be -0o14i freight
and tax would De .u4sa, ana lne sEaln
commission takes per cent, or .Ozz5

represent the total received by each
person from bread at ten cents, "a
reasonable price with wheat at S2-26."
The farmer gets a little more than
three cents, the baker sells for eight
cents and gets about four and two
third cents OF the ten cents, and the
retailer gets two cents according TO
the association.
The grain commission man whose
commission Is so small finances the
whole transaction up 70 the time he
received the wheat and sells &c 20 the

department. Of commerce today.
Before the war. Germany exported
to this country undecorated china and
porcelain ware amounting annually to
approximately half million dollars.
During the war, Japan and France
gained control of this trade but since
the armistice Germany has made rapid
strides to recapture 1t and has already
surpassed pre-war figures.
During 1919. Germany exported 10
the United States undecorated china
and porcelain valued at $67l,756, an
increase of more than 80 per cent over
Dre-war years. Imports in this com
