PRICES FOR FARM
PRODUCTS ADVANCE
DURING PAST YEAR
Wholesale Prices in General
Decline While Retail
Prices Increase,
BY DIR. L. II. HANEY
Director Of the Business Research
Bureau. New York University.

Bureau, New York University.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The bureau
of labor statistics at Washington has
just published it's index of wholesale
prices. We also have for comparison
the bureaus index of retail food
prices, which makes it possible to see
pretty we'll where we stand.
AS to wholesale prices, the Novem-
Der level is found to be lower than in
October by less than L per cent. Farm
products. cloths and clothing and
chemicals and drugs were up, but
there were declines in fuel and light
ing, metals and metal products, and
nous furnishing goods which turned
the scale downward. Foods and build
ing materials were practically I'M
changed.
The number of articles which in
price was much greater than the mum
Der of items which declined.
In comparison with year ago, the
average of wholesale prices was IN
per cent lower. This fact, however,
was chiefly due to the large decline
in coal and oil prices. Food and
clothes are considerably higher than
last year at TINS Tune.
When we turn to the retail prices,
the picture is different. The list of re-
tail food prices in November was
nearly 1 per cent higher than in Oc-
tober, and was per cent higher than
year ago.
Another item of food for thought
is the fact that retail food prices have
gone UP more than wholesale.
The retail index in November was
81 per cent over 1913 and the whole
eAse food index was up only 48 per
cent. Moreover, retail food went up
in price during November, while at
wholesale foods were unchanged

Indianapolis Moderator Says
FundamentaIiStS Are
Few Here.

A majority of Indianapolis Presby-
terrain ministers will join n the pro
test against the action of the General
Assembly in indianapolis last May in
condemning the doctrines of the Rev.
Harry Emerson Fosdick of the First
Presbyterian Church Of New York,
DR. George w. Allison. moderator of
the Indianapolis Presbytery, said to-
day
According TO announcement from
Buffalo, a committee of $50 Presbyter-
ian ministers has signed an affirmation
upholding the right of the Presbyter-
ian clergy to exercise liberty in
thought and teaching.
The General Assembly Of 1923 ex-
pressed the opinion concerning FIVE
doctrinal statements that each one is
an essential doctrine Of the word OF
God and our standards, the state
ment said. Furthermore. this opin-
ion of the General Assembly wants to
commit our church to certain tIeo-
ries concerning the inspiration of
the Bible. and the incarnation. the
atonement, the resurrection and the
continuing life and superna tural power
Of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Not the Only Theories"
Some Of us regard the particular
theories contained in the deliverance
OF the General Assembly as satisfac-
tory explanations Of these facts and
doctrines. But we are united in be
lieving that these are not tue only
theories allowed by the S '-ipturcs,
ard our standards as explars tons OF
these facts and doctrines OF our re-
Igion."

of the Indianapolis Presbyterian min
listers are in sympathy with DR.. Fos-
