Grain Market

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 13-Grain prices
averaged higher early today influenced
by scantinesS of wheat supplies on ocean
passage and by hostilities between Jap
an and China. Fears were expressed
that the war-like complications would
eventually involve Russia.
Opening as 10 Is cent higher, wheat
afterward held near the initial limits
Corn started unchanged to IS cent up,
and subsequently reacted.
Wheat price advances resulting from
strained relations of Oriental powers
led soon to enlarged selling to realize
profits, and the market in some cases
dipped temporarily to below Saturdays
finish. Much notice, however, contin-
ued to be taken Of the fact that wheat
supplies afloat for Europe showed al
most 100000 bushels decrease in the
last week, and more than 100000 de-
crease. compared with year ago. Civ
ing impetus to curtailment of floating
supplies en- route to importing coun-
tries were Liverpool wheat quotations
higher than had been expected.
Further bullish factors as to wheat
included word of fairly good export
business in North American wheat over
the holiday largely, however, Canadian
wheat. There were also adviceS that
Russian chartering of grain vessels had
stopped. and that Russian wheat SOW
ings to october l were only 60 per cent
of the total planned, with the seeding
date passed in northwestern and cen
trail regions. Japan's rice production
was reported 1906, 500 900 pounds short
of last years total. Corn and oats
were steadied by grain strength, de-
spite big receipts of corn here, AIT
cars.
Provisions were responsive to hog
market upturns.

SPECIFIC u. S. PROGRAM
ON TARIFF is URGED
BY the Associated Press.

oS thC AooOSIdlco FIeSS..
The Committee on Federal Taxation
OF the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States has analyzed the Gov
ernments fiscal situation and the nee
essity for providing a balanced budget
within a reasonable period In a tenta-
tive report for the third quarter of
1881.
The committees report raised ques-
lions to be considered whenever expan-
sion Of public expenditures is contem-
plated as an aid to economic improve
ment. In identifying the extent to
which the Governments requirements
might now be financed through borrow
ing, the committee cited that since 1920,
the national debt has been reduced not
only by statutory sinking fund in the
amount Of 5000, 100000, but by So
475,000,00 additional from year end
surpluses alone, made possible and
amaSSed through maintenance of taxes
at a high level.
While indicating that in the current
situation the borrowing power can and
should be relied upon to a considerable
extent, short Of imperiling the Govern
ment's credit, the committee recognized
the necessity Of developing a specific
program covering the next few years to
produce revenues equal to expenditures
without further dependence upon Dor
rowing.
1t mentioned tentatively some possible
means Of obtaining additional revenues
for the Government through increases
OF existing tax rates or the addition of
new taxes as an emergency measure.
With the determination later in the
year OF the expenditures schedule of
the Government and ascertainment of
revenues requirements, the committee
will present its final report.

NEW REFRIGERATION.
| IS SAVING MONEY!
Retail Customers Expected
to Benefit to Extent of
S5OO,OOO 900 a Year.
BY BRADLEY w. TRENT.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, October 13.--Attempts
are being made to save retail customers
of this Nation about $500,000,o00 on
their annual food bills through i'm
proved methods of refrigeration, which
will partially Offset the eventual ris-
ing price tendency of foods and will
create sufficient additional employment
to enlarge or fill now strained or empty
family Ipocketbooks.
Several railroads, one harvesting ma
chinery company, several transportation
corporations and showcase and carton
as we'll as makers of re-
frigerators and special types of refrig-
Grants, are cooperating in this pro-
gram.
Perishable foods represent more than
II per cent Of the national food supply
in terms Of monetary value at retail
prices. Estimating the value of perish
ables consumed annually in the United
States at $16,8o0,0o0, 900. Clarence
Birdseye. inventor OF quick-freezlng
process, said today that these foods are
moved from producer to consumer at
ruinouS cost and with loss in retail
stores alone Of more than S50O,OOO,-
900 a year
he said, but it is fair to assume that
fully Is per cent and probably as much
as 40 per cent of all perlShable food
crops that reach maturity never reach
the consumer. Surplus production,
glutted markets. unstable prices and
tremendous spoilage all the way from
producer to retailer account for by
far the greatest economic loss In any
commercial or industrial activity"
Citing as an example the wasteful
methods of transporting spinach grown
in Texas and consumed here, Mr.. Birds
eye said:
AT the source the whole spinach
plants, containing about one-third
waste. are packed loosely in round
bushel baskets, which in turn are loose
Nv stacked in refrigerator cars. Event
ually the baskets of spinach reach re-
tail stores in the East, where from
is to 40 per cent spoils have to be
thrown out. The consumer, who pur-
chases the remainder, has to eliminate
the inedible portions and wash out
the sand"
From the angle of meat distribu-
ton, he pointed out that under gen.
orally existing conditions steaks con-
sumed in a small Massachusetts town
may be cut from a steer fattened in
Oklahoma. shipped alive to Chicago,
slaughtered and partly dressed there.
and then shipped to Boston hung in
refrigerator car as sides or quarters.

Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, October l3.-The adj
vance in money rates occasioned by the
increase in the New York Federal Re-
serve Bank rediscounnt rate to az per
cent has been the sole reason put for
ward for the sudden slump in United
States Government bonds.
1t does not, however, sufficiently ex-
plain why Treasury long-tern issues
should drop 2 to points in a single
week. It does not explain why Treas
which they yielded only $50 per cent
per annum to price where their yield
is OBS per cent.
Trading Volume Doubles
More than that, the volume Of trad
ing in Government bonds suddenly
doubled on both the exchange and over
the counter: Government bonds traded
on the Stock Exchange on one day
amounted to only 81 10000 and the
next day the total was doubled
A rediScount rate of 2l2 per cent is
still only a nominal rate, 1t is not high
enough TO attract important blocks OF
funds away from the security of Gov
ernnent bonds The explanation for
in the wild reports exploited in Europe
that the American dollar was shaky
and that the United States was about
to abandon the gold standard.
Undoubtedly the market is now in
the reverse phase of the situation some
months ago, when securities of all kinds
that were obviously destined for lower
levels were sacrificed in favor Of the
safety and taX-exemption provisions of
1T l.
bought them for their liquid features
have not sold them yet in any large
volume.
But many corporations with their re-
serve funds in Government bonds, in
vesting concerns which have stood
aloof from both stocks and bonds, and
thousands of individuals who had
turned their money into Government
issues have sold these bonds during the
past week in order to obtain money with
which to take advantage of the adj
vances in the stock and junior bond
markets.
Buying Power Increased.
This potential buying power has long
been promise of stimulating an up
ward movement. So long as Govern
ment issues were yielding per cent
or less, it was only a matter Of time
before those receiving such a small
return on their money would again in
vess their funds in more speculative
but much more profitable ventures. The
sudden turn of the markets in the past
week provided the opportunity. Presi-
dent Hoover's plan for a revolving
credit for frozen bank assets and his
promises of other constructive steps to
aid business provided the necessary re-
assurance to the American investing
public.
