PRICE OF BEEF DECLINED DURING
 MONTH OF MAY
New Zealand Shipments and Transportation Strike
 Responsible.

Wholesale prices of beef, continu- ing their decline during May, de- creased from three to five cents a pound and at the end of the month were not far from the level prevail ing when the United States entered the war, three years ago.
 At the beginning of May the pros pect indicated that the conditions arising from the railroad strike would be restored to normal, with a fair trade and satisfactory prices. But ac- cumulations occurring during the strike exerted a depressing influence on prices practically throughout May Other depressing factors were impor- tations of New Zealand lamb ship ped here by the British government, the existence of 3'second hands of beef bought from the governmen and an over-suppIy Of dressed beef in eastern markets.
 These circumstances, coupled with declining values for hides and fats, were reflected in lower prices for cat tie. Receipts were fairly large and the cattle were unusually heavy with the result that the supply of beef has been quite large relative to demand. Wholesale beef prices furnish an in teresting contrast to the price trend in many other comm odities.
 Popular demand for the choice cuts of beef still results in an unusually large differential between the price of meat from forequarters 0ess expens- ive) and meat from hindquarters. This "spread'' has narrowed slightly but nevartheless remains abnormal
 Pork-An improvement in the for eign exchange situation at many con- tinental points resulted in more ex. port trade to the Continent than has been the case for several months In- quiries ran more to meats than to lard.
 The present high price of corn may result in free mar.Aetihg Of hogs by the farmers. Present hog prices some farmers feel, do not justify the payment of the high prices demanded for corn. Furthermore, the high price of labor. corn and other feed aIsd has resulted in a noticeable reduc- tion in the quality of hogs, many farmers being unable to feed corn as freely as normally. A decline in quality is to be expected at this time of year, but the loss in grade is greater than is usually the case. The credit situation may have played a part in the decline of quality
 Mutton and Lamb - Frozen New Zealand lambs shiped here by the British government have depressed both beef and lamb prices. Since the domestic trade is not accustomed to handling frozen lambs, the imported lambs have sold at lower values. This reacted sharply on the price of Cali fornia lambs. The first California spring lambs of this seasons crop sold around $19.50 per hundredweight and speedily increased. in price until within a few days they were selling as high as SPOTS. Then, on account of i'm nportations of the New Zealand product, they declined until they have been selling as low as s17 to s17.50 wh o1esale.

DEALERS FORGED TO PLACE THEIR
 GOODS ON MARKET
Change in Credit Situation Make Immediate Sales
 Necessary.
IN. Y. Federal Reserve Agent.1
 The Credit Situation.

In the last thirty days there has
 been little or no reduction in the volume of credit as reflected either
 in the loans of the banks the Fed
 eral Reserve banks. There are, how
 ever, other movements under way,
 the importance of which cannot be
 gauged until it is seen how long and
 to what extent they continue. It is
 apparent that a great change has come over the public mind with re-
 spect to prices; whereas last fall and
 winter purchasers of goods bought
 regardless of price they now watch
 values closely, and whereas certain
 stores a few months ago advertised articles for sale without even men
 tioning the price they are now ad-
 vertising substantial price reduc- tions.
 A number of factors conspire to
 bring about price reductions in this
 district The general credit situa- tion makes it increasingly expensive
 to carry goods and has obliged some
 spectators to put their goods on the
 market Railway congestion, es- pecially in it's early stages, caused
 the sale locally of goods manufac- tured on order for distant points. but impossible of delivery: and in it's later stages when the railroads began
 to catch up on their shipments, some
 goods came through to New York in
 more than usual volume. A third factor in inducing a decline in prices notably to the textile trades, is that
 production has in some instances overtaken demand. Thus on the one hand there has been at least the
 beginning of a falling off of demand and on the other of an increased supply, though both may prove tc be only temporary.
 The recent change in the buying
 temper of the public is reflected in an attitude of greater conservatism on the part of the merchants and in the retail price cutting wave which is passing over the country. Wholesale comm oddities showed no general ten- dency to react to the conditions pre- vailing in retatil trade until the last fortnight. The Bureau of Labor price index for April, made up of a large number of commodities az wholesale, was the highest yet reach ed. But for the week, ended May 1 24 the price index maintained by this bank of 12 basic commodities showed it's first decline since Febru- ary. Wheat cotton, hogs, lead and rubber declined; hides. copper pig 1T Ou, ueIliOCh ana pelIOleUI1 Te11ldiL- ed stationary; corn and sugar in- ] creased. Inasmuch as these com
 modities have ready markets at all times they are especially susceptible to speculation, and the movement of a single week is therefore, by no
 means a reliable indication that the peak of high prices has passed. 9th CT clements in the cost of production have not gone down. On the con trary many wage increases have re- gently been granted, and others, no- tably of railway workers, are pending. Higher wages, rents and local taxes continue as increasingly heavy charges against production and must be reflected in the cost of goods to the onsumer.

Plans for action In the event the

force Its ruling barring secret socie-

OF the frsternities and sororities In
the schools.
Meetings of the various chapters

the chief topic OF discussion.

The possibility of wholesale sus-
pensions OF students. who. in VIOLA
ton OF the boards ruling. have Joined
fraternities, has caused alarm among
more than $50 members OF the secret
societies.
A meeting of a chapter of ma
tional sorority which Is affiliated In
the Washington schools. has been
called for Friday night, and several
mem bers are planning for the chap
ter to issue a statement outlining
Its stand on the question.
IL is not expected that members of
the fraternities or sororities. who are
now in the schools, viii takke any
active part In a move to appear be-
fore the school board.
The alumni OF the fraternities win
take the lead in any move, and are
cautioning those in schools not to
discuss the question.
The fact that most of the high
school principals have knowledge of
the various fraternities and their
members has added to the alarm. for
II would be an easy matter for school
officials to nnd those affiliated with
secret societies in the event the
school board ordered action be taken
to ban these organizations.
