The visit of Messrs Nee and Cook, of Wilcox, representing the firm of cattle buyers operating under the name of Cook & Johnson, to Clifton this week, resulted in an agreement among a number of local cattlemen to fix a price on cattle for fall de- livery The price the local cattle men agreed to take was $20.0O for yearlings; $25.OO for two's and $30.OO for three's. It is very probable that the cattle will be moved at these if gures and that approximately three thousand head will be represented in the shipment bringing into the county the sum of s10O,OO0.O0 in round numbers which will relieve the local cattle situation to some extent.

BALTIMORE, April 2s.-Baltimore,
which has always been an important
distributing point for fruits and vege-
tables, is now handling consignments
in greater volume than for months.
As a considerable quantity of these
shipments is transshipped from here
to nelghboring cities. the effect OF
lowering prices at Baltimore should
be felt during the coming week in
the nearby towns, especially since
distances have been decidedly mar
rowed by the growing use of the mo-
tor truck.
New potatoes from the South are
quoted in the Baltimore commission
district at SO to $3.50 per barrel, and
old potatoes at 81 per 100 pounds.

Director Lewis hnds that the best

fewer amounts.
Although the war appeal has been
eliminated, the war savings bureau
has been put upon pcace-time
economic basis. and will be continued
as an active agency of the Treasury.
Redemptions have been greatly re-

DECLINE NOTED IN
COST OF BUILDING
Construction Work Takes Squirt
as Material Prices Fall,
Hoover Reports.

Both labor and material costs must
drop before Americas shortage of
1 .000. 900 homes can be overcome.
Herbert Hoover. Secretary of Com
merce, said today.
There must be a recession away
from the war level of costs" said
Hoover. "Readjustments in this as
we'll as other industries are necessary
to a revival in construction work, to
relieve the congestion felt over the
entire country"
Reports to the Commerce Depart
ment reflect a gradual decline in
building material prices. Experts
agree that there will be continued
drop in these prices. Lower prices
have produced more activity in build
ing operations, but officials declared
that a revival in building depends
upon the expected declines to be OBJ
served further in material prices. and
expected reductions In wages of
laborers In the building trades.
Epitomized. the view of Secretary
Hoover is that the days of the $40
silk shirt and wages which have
made such prices possible ARE past.
and the now era demands stabiliza-
tion all along the line.

on Dye Protection.

Elimination from the emergency
tariff bin, of the sixty-six and two
thirds currency .valuati ton Limitation
adopted by the House was tentatively
agreed upon today by. the Senate
Finance Committee.
After a brief session. the commit
tee adjourned abruptly until tomor-

tariff commission and customs ex-
perts scheduled to testify.
; Senator Knox Is to appear before
the committee tomorrow to urge
that protection for American dye
stuffs be included in the anti-dump-
Ing provision of the bill.
Opposition to the Knox proposal is
varied by Senators supporting the
bill on the ground that to provide
protection for dyestuffs before the
permanent tariff bill 1 senacted would
open up the emergency measure to
further amendments and encourage
unlimited debate. s.f-..
Republican members of the COM
mittee predicted the bill would be
favorably reported to the Senate be-
fore the weekend, but admitted It
would probably lead to a.>wide di-
Nergence of views and In Its amended
form threaten serious disagreement
between the Senate and the House.

ANY one who can find food for OPP

Of the United States Steel Corpora ton

The fact that appeals most strong

corporation was operating at about 81
per cent, compared with possibly IS
per cent at the present time.
Furthermore, the lowest prices fer
