The drought through Great Brit
ain and France has been 50 severe
that IL bids fair to have far-reach-
ing effects. II may yet prove to
be a factor nearly equal to the
Russian food shortage in its effect
on our foreign trade. The usual
green English landscape is parched
and brown and the loss to English
farmers in stock feed is vary seri-
Gus, since grass is the basis of the
livestock industry on English farms.
The root crops have been damaged
to such an extent that large areas
have been plowed up and cattle are
being fed on winter rations as there
is nothing In the field for them.
These difficulties have been an
added burden to English farmers
already working under an extreme
handicap of controlled prices that
were for from satisfactory to them.
While the e-grown wheat crop
of England is normally only about
one-fifth of her needs, this part of
the supply has considerable influ-
ence on prices. Old wheat has been
selling higher than during any re-
cent year at about twenty shillings
per hundred weight. The quantity
marketed this year TO date has been
n little more than in any of the
three previous years. The. present
harvest has been fair to date since
the wheat has not suffered from the
drought as have pastures and grow
ing root crops.
In France the drought has cut the
Stocked production most severely
and the numbers of animals will
probably be reduced as result.
France has not yet regained the prs-
war status as regards numbers of
livestock and a reduction at this
time would be felt in the markets
later on. Grains have not been so
seriously injured and the outlook
for wheat crop in France of
around 23O,00O,OO0 bushels appears
fair. The average prewar annual
production was about $4,000, 900
bushels.
The grain crop is too valuable
for human food to be used for stock
rood consequently cheaper feeds
VIII be imported where necessary
to tide over the cattle in the drought
sections. Some of the hogs and
cattle will be sent TO slaughter early
and imported meats will find a
market to replace the shortage of
meat to some extent. With an
ample grain supply. however, the
European can ecOnomize closely on
meats. Butter. cheese, and mar

INDUSTRY
RAPIDLY GETTING
BACK TO NORMAL
Banks Not Worried Over
Higher Grade Con-
Germs.
FORD is KEYNOTE
Overland and Chevrolet Auto
mobile Price Cuts Are
Deeper.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Sept. "a
In the banking and trade circles
there is not the slightest concern
for the standard automobile COM
psnies. It is admitted everywhere
that the sitting process has begun.
Many motor cars today offer the
greatest dollars worth in the his
tory of the industry. The public
is seeking values. and those con-
Germs which cannot offer them are
faced with difficulties.
Ford's recent cut was met i'm
mediately by General Motors with
a 800 reduction in its small Chew
rolet models. The Chevrolet tour
ing car is worth s525. against s355
for the cheapest Ford. The week
end 500 Overland reduction places
this car at S5s5. The willys-Knight
is down to s1,525. All three COM
panies are large producers, and their
action may not go unchallenged. II
il not a year since the Ford COM
pany made its first price cut from
S575 to S440, and in that time many
manufacturers have cut three times.
Practically all made reductions last
fall and again this spring or sum-
mer. Some, including Chevrolet.
have acted three times since the
first OF the year.
Ford Is the Keynote.
More than ever. perhaps. Ford is
regarded as the key to the industry.
His production is nearly twice the
combined output of all other passen-
ger and truck manufacturers
Ford's reduction on the touring car
is $50 from the high of 1920. In
the used car markets, Fords COM
pete indirectly with many cars SELL
ing much higher. II the dispropor-
tion seems too great the purchaser
is inclined to buy a new or used
Ford. in preference to a used better
car.
Fords reductions this calendar
year have been exceeded by both
Overland and Chevrolet. Ford
prices are now approximately 22Te
lower than on January 1. By drop
ping from s9S5 to s5s5. Overland Is
approximately 40% below January 1,
end at s525 from $500, Chevrolet
Is $50 lower.
Prize Not Sole Fnctor.
In the view of motor observers
these price-cuts are assisting in
placing the industry in an unassaIl-
able position. II 1t interesting to
note. however. that price, while in
creasingly emphasized, is not the de-
Gliding factor in motor purchases.
Eliminating companies that could
easily be identified one company
which has reduced prices twice this
year operated only about 40G the
first half of 1920, and another in
the same general class which has
made no reduction. operated 65%
Another company. with two reduc-
tions, operated less than 50[: and
several making one cut were above
the 60% line. Price cutting is a
stimulus TO buying, but not the in
citing motive.
Motor people think that economic
necessity is the deciding factor in
most car purchases. Many friends
believe that in the present read
tustments the industry is further
sntrenching itself near the top Of
those most vital to American life.

L.
This record of the last three
years probably does not give a fair
idea of the trend Of trade in food
stuffs to France because pf the
very heavy shipments there. due to
the fact that II was the war area
and the people were ready to take
anything that could be had. The
fact that American products were
introduced to larger numbers OF
the French people has removed
prejudice and opened the way for a
call for more when the need Is
great. The fact that prices are
still relatively higher in France
will aid to offset the disadvantage
of buying from America because of
the difference in exchange.
American meat products had n
peculiar experience in England
The government control of meats
which was only recently terml-
mated, resulted in a largo quantity
of American pork being sold after
it had deteriorated in quality. 1t
was not prepared exactly as the
English consumer prefers il in the
first place and this was not the
fault of American packers so much
as the natural result of packing
the fat American hog.
The Englishman likes a lean.
fresh, hghtly-salted pork. The
Netherland product, which can be
laid down in England in a few days.
is widely used. During the last
six months England imported over
$4,000 cwt. of frozen pork from the
United States. In 1913. however,
over $4,000 owt. of fresh pork was
received from the Netherlands,
and only 3,337 cwt. from the United
States.
The exports of principal meat
products to England during the
last three years has been as fol-
lows:
