EUR0PE's NEED LARGE
Unusual Export Trade Justifies Hope
That Markets Will For Some
Time Be Decidedly Toward
Better Prices.

Washington-Strong hope for bet
ter prices in the agricultural markets
is justified by reductions in the rail-
road rates on grain for export. already
in effect and proposed, according to a
statement issued at the White House.
Recent reductions in the export rate
on grains between Chicago and New
York, the statement said, will be fol-
lowed by sweeping revisions of grain
rates generally, including those from
Mississippi river points and on the
lines to the gulf, in order that the en-
tire agricultural interest may snare
fully in the benefits.
Europe's Needs Unusual.
'In general" the statement con
tinued, advances in freight costs are
passed on to the consumer by adding
them to the selling price. But in
grains, whose domestic Erice is do
minated by the foreign price of the ex-
ported surplus, the %prodacer suffers
when rates go up and benefits when
they go down. Therefore, though the
exports represent a minor share of
the total grain production, the lower
ing of export rates affects the entire
crop.
These reductions of rates, together
with the arrangements for financial as
sistance to export trade and the as
surance that Europe is going to need
extraordinary quantities of American
foodstuffs, constitute altogether a JUS
LITIGATION for strong hope that the ten
dency in the agricultural markets will
for some time be decidedly toward bet
ter prices"
Hoover Demanded Reductions.
Reductions Of transportation rates
on grain for export was described as
zone of the most important measures
the administration has Initiated for
the relief of agriculture and of gen.
eral industrial conditions" The re.
auctions, it was explained, we're in
sisted on by Secretary Hoover as a
concession to the agricultural inter-
ests, when, on behalf of President
Harding, he negotiated with the car
riers the basis for settlement of their
claims against the government, grow
ing out of Federal control.
This was made the basis of the
adjustment" the statement continued,
"the railroads %relinquishing their So
called labor ~ineficiency' claims and
undertaking to inaugurate reductions
in the export grain rates, while the adj
ministration undertook to assist them
by securing early settlement of their
claims against the government"
