true of Standard Oil of Indiana,

Pressure against public utilities and
air shares accelerated the general de-

soon were joined by pipe lines, natural
gas shares, mining issues, food stocks
and miscellaneous issues.
Fears that the new revenue bill may
include an impost on electric consump-
ton caused selling of the utilities Then
the fact that electrical output has
shown a steady downward trend this
year, not surprising in view of declining
industrial production activities, dimmed
earning prospects. The way public util-

FARM BUYING POWER
SHARPLY CURTAILED
Recent Decline in Per Capita Con-
sumption Has Cut Down
Rural Incomes.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer

Despite the increase in the farm
prices level that has occurred during
the last month, there are several eco
nomic factors which darken the farm
erS' outlook
The relatively mild Winter has ad-
vsnced most farm work throughout the
country, while the drought conditions
Of the last two years have been COM
pletely obliterated by ample rainfall and
snow. But these favorable conditions,
however, are more or less nu!llned by
huge inventories of farm produce and
restricted consumers purchasing
power.
This condition is said to apply in
severe degree only in this country. In
Europe and the Argentine. competition
has become less severe, due In large
measure to tariff walls and other forms
of import restrictions. In this country
there has been also gradual decline In
the per capita consumption OF princi-
nal articles of farm merchandise, from
wheat to meats, coupled with the de-
cline in general purchasing power due
to the low level Of general business
activity.
Prices of farm produce are reported
by the Agriculture Department as OF
March Is, latest available date, at 81
per cent of the five-year comparable
period 1910, 1914. With prices Of other
commodities still above this pre-war
level, it is seen that the purchasing
power of farm produce Is but little
more than SO per cent measured in the
terms of other merchandise.
An outstanding feature Of the de-
partment's report was four point ad-
vance in the index of meat animal
prices following a drastic drop during
the previous month. A comparative
firmness in this group of prices in the
past has resulted in many farmers con-
verting much of their feed crops. in
cluding some crops normally sold for
human consumption. into livestock. This
situation has created an advantage to
those farmers who have increased their
feelings.

COTTON PRICES DROP

NEW YORK, April 2.-The cotton

tied during the past week. with price,

llon Ior balancing the budget and the
action OF the stock market. Disturbing
nnuences were evidently found in both
directions and, while rather a sharu
break early in the week was followed
by some rallies of 20 to 25 points on
covering and trade buying, the marke,
weakened again later, owing to the
decline in security prices and a falling
of in the demand.
The decline extended to nearly the
scent level for May contracts, making
loss OF about III points from the
recent high level and a decline tc
within or points of the seasons low
record for that position established
last october, but there was nothing to
indicate that the declines in futures
had caused any weakening of the spot
situation.
The trade buying, which had been q
feature on the advances of late Feb
ruary and early March, appeared to
have tapered off to comparatively small
proportions, but made its appearance
on the declines or on scale-down or
ders. and reports reaching here from
the South late in the week said that
spot offerings we're light, with some
qualities of cotton difficult to buy and
the basis generally f1rmer Further
rains have been reported in the South,
delaying farmwork, but the market Is
not yet showing much response to the
daily weather news. Two private re-
ports on planting intentions were
issued during the week, one Of them
placing the probable reduction in
acreage at 73 per cent, while the other
estimated it at 9.3 per cent. Southern
selling has been very little in evidence
and, except for spurts of liquidation
or covering, general business has been
comparatively quiet.
