The sweet potato syrup plant which
the Department of Agriculture is to
install at the Newcomer sweet DO
tato house for the purpose of deter
mining the. commercial value of the
newly discovered sweet potato syrup,
will not be here within thirty DAYS
and it may be longer than that before

ing to information received by Mr..

reau of chemistry
Several parts of the machinery are
now being manufactured in the lab
oratories of the bureau of chemistry.
1t is the first plant of its kind ever
built and while most of the parts are
standard articles, some of them are
not obtainable from ordinary irnple-
ment manufacturers for the particular
size which the first plant is to be and
must be especially made by the gov
eminent.
1t is understood that the depart
ment of agriculture does not hope to
be able to learn the true commercial
value of sweet potato syrup before
the next sweet potato crop is harvest
ed as cost of production of this years
crop will have large part in deter
mining the cost.

Price Trend Will Be

Eastern markets are no longer over

OF sacrifice selling by wholesalers are
over, according to observations made
last week in, New York, Boston and
Baltimore markets by J. C. Holder.
manager and buyer for the Bazaar
Store, who returned home yesterday.
Mr.. Holder found New York crowd
ed with buyers who were anticipating
a revival of brisk business and pros
porous conditions soon after the
change in national administrations
Buyers of years experience declared
that business in the New York whole
sale markets is brisker now than it
has ever been.
The heavy reserves of goods which
accumulated during the so-called
consumers strike" of the last few
months have all been dissipated and
nearly all mills and factories have re-
sumed operations with heavy orders
for goods. Business confidence is
much better now than it has been for
more than a year and business opera
tons are being conducted on nor
NAL scale again. AS result, the re-
tail price trend will soon be up and
away from the "sell-at-any-price"
basis of the last few weeks.

CHICAGO, February ll.-Union
men, marshaling their forces before
the Railroad Board yesterday, won
their fight before they started.
Before the employees side of the
controversy as to whether wages
should be reduced and the national
agreement abolished was presented
the board announced its decision. 1t
denied the plea of Gen. w. w. After
bury OF the Railroad Executives AS
ISOLATION for reduction in the wages
paid unskilled labor and scrapping of
agreements.
Despite this favorable decision
however, the employees represented
by Frank p. Walsh and B. M. Jewell,
presented their case. Mr.. Walsh re-
iterated the charges he had made of
a conspiracy on the part of Wall
street financiers, who control 90 per
cent of the railroads, he said to crush
unionism
incidentally, it was decided last
night not to subpoena William Rock
efeller, George F. Baker and other
eminent financiers before the board,
as requested by Frank P. Walsh. 1t
is believed their testimony might
becloud the real question before the
board as to whether the national
agreements should be abrogated.
Wartime Rules Stand
The wartime working rules will re-
main is effect, including the so-called
penalty bearing clauses" which rail-
roads claim costs them $3OO,OOOOOO a
year.
Railroad employees will continue to
work under the agreements until the
board issues new ruling.
Meantime the executives said the
roads will proceed individually O
ask conferences with unskilled en-
ployes over wage redultions In this
manner they will establish definite
controversies which they can bring
