NORTHERN CITIES TO GET EARLY CHANCE AT NEGRO PROBLEM
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-HeraId,
 500 Davidson Building

500 Davidson Building.
 Washington. February 4.-tSpc- cial.)-Census figures to date prove beyond preadventure thnt southern cities are yielding to northern cities in respect to negro population. This condition. if long maintained, will unquestfonabiy have effect on socini conditions. as we'll ns economic and political. In regard to politics, this increased negro population in north ern cities will, of course. greatly strengthen the republican party.
 In 1910 Baltimore was the fifth city Of the United States in negro population. Philadelphia. Washing ton md Chicago now have more me- groes than Baltimore, and figures later to be revealed will show that New York has passed the Maryland metropolis. Washington, incidentni- ly, has 100,976 negroes. This is m interesting fact in connection with Washington's effort to obtain the right of suffrage. Unless New York takes the lend when its figures are announced. Philadelphia, with 1884, O9S negroes, will be the negro mecca in the United states.
 Census returns for practically .ev- cry southern city to date indicate loss in negro population.

WOMAN TO FIX FATE
 OF LIQUOR TRADERS

Washington, February 4.-(Special.) The fate of liquor traders and con- sumers, as far as statute Or law off, cial may determine such fate, seems to be in the hands of woman. She Is Mrs. Annette Adams, assistant Att torney General. :t the present time, Mrs. Adams is preparing an opinion for the Attorney General bearing on the right of wholesale dealers to dis pose of whisky for nonbeverage pur- poses. There is a contention that the intent of the law was that whole. salers could sell only to druggists CT retailers. On the other hand, 1t is ar |gued that it is clearly provided that wholesale dealers. with certain re- strictions of course. could do non> beverage business on 2 general scale. It is understood that Mrs. Adams will hold for the Attorney General that wholesalers can sell only to drug stores. This may cut off the supply which has kept the country no<,rious- ly "wet" since the general effecttye> ness of prohibition.

 VALUES DECLINE
 The results of the 1920 census of live stock have been issued for few states only; the two sets of figures (census and crop estimates) are not made from the same basis. and therefore are not comparable, in that the bureau of crop estimates figures are the result of ap- plying yearly estimated changes to the census figures of 1910, which were taken on April 15, instead of on January 1. as was done in 1920. No attempt has been made to readjust the bureaus 1soo fig ures to the new census basis in the few states for which census figures have been published. Establishments will be deferred until the census will be com plete for all states.
 The total value of livestock has de- clined $2,N ,5U,00 or 26.7 per cent dur ing the year; that is, from total of $S,507, ,145, 900 on January 1, 1920, to s,2s5, . 5SS,000 on January I, 1921. This decline is due partly to the reduction in num- bers, but more to the lower value per head Horses, with value of $S245 per head as compared with $94.42 a year ago, are lower than they have been since 1906. The total value of horses is es- timated at $1,664. .166. 900, which is $2SS, ,s37,- 900, or 15.3 per cent less than year ago.
 OTHER LIVE STOCK
 Mules have declined in price relatively more than have horses, due, probably, to the depression in the cotton states, where mules are largely used The Jan uary 1 price, $11572, is the lowest value since 1916, whereas the value year ago, $147.O7, was the highest on record The total value of mules is $57S, ,47S, ,000 a reduction of $162, ,s27 900, or P per cent as compared with year ago.
 Milk cows have declined PAS per cent in value per head, from .$s5.n to $6a.97 and in total value have declined $51S,- 2S,o0o. or 25.s per cent, from $2ol0, 2s, ,oot to s1,491, 300 900. Other cattle have de clined 273 per cent in value per head from .$4322 to $31.41: and in total value have declined $5S7 .52o,0 900. or so.4 pc, cent, from $1 ,9Sl. 900 to $1,346, ,665.0 .000 All cattle have thus declined $1. los, 74S 900, or 2S per cent, from $3,944 4,S1S,0oo to $,934.- 1S5,000
 Swine have declined in value per head s17 per cent from $19.01 to $1299; ant in total value have declined $497 .636, 00o or 36.6 per cent, from $1, ,3ss, 2es,ooo to $Ss5,- 63s, ,0O0
