FARM HOPE LIES
IN PRICE TILT

So heroic have been American
farmers in combating the depres-
sion with economy and their own
labor that a return of farm prices
to what is regarded likely
natural level for all prices will
alone put them in better po-
sition than in 1929, acco1 ding to
the Alexandria Hamilton 1nsti-
tute's weekly bulletin.
At present, however, the farm
ers' plight seems to be every bit
as bad as painted, and the COM
parison of 1892 totals with those
of 1929 is appalling.
Gross income has dropped from
$11,95O, 100000 to $5,24O, ,000, 900,
or Sc per cent. AS the average
price of farm products has de-
clined nearly 81 per cent it is
evident that farmers are produc-
ing more, in spite of the fact
that the number of farms and
farmers is probably somewhat
lower. They have done so with
about 20 per cent fewer farm
hands.
Expenses, meanwhile, have drop
ped only from $6,621 100000 to
$3,920,OOO,O00, or Al per cent, leav-
ing only $1,32O,OOO,OOO for the
farmers labor and investment
return instead of $5,329, ,000, 900,
or $211 per farmer instead OF
$847. Thus farmers actually got
less individually in 1882 than the
1899 they paid out to individual
farm hands, exclusive of board.
A recovery of the farm price
level from less than 40 0929=10O
to 60 would automatically in
crease farm income from $5,24O,-
100000 to $7,860,O0O,OO0, and
would tend to provide a net in
come Of $394O 100000, or $500
per farmer. With the dollar up
so per cent in purchasing power,
this alone would make farmers
better off than in 1929.

YIELD Of GRAIN
SHOWS DROP

The final check-up of the ma
tion's crop production this year
by the Department of Agriculture
confirms earlier indications of
substantially lower production Of
crops raised for sale and SUBJ
Stantially heavier production of
feed crops than in either the
last two years.
The sharpest reductions are
shown by wheat. cotton, tobacco
and rice, the leading cash crops
of which there is normally a
surplus for export.
The production of fruits was
substantially below average due
to weather conditions, and the
commercial production of Vege-
tables grown for canning was
the lowest in several years, due
primarily to reduction in the
acreage planted.
The production of feed grains
corn, oats, barley and grain
SorghumS combined-WaS the
largest since 1920 and the pounds
of feed grain produced per unit
of grain consuming animals on
farms was about 10 per cent
above the average during the
past 10 years. The hay crop was
larger than in either of the last
two years, though still below the
usual level.

BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Jan. 3 uN.SO.
The stock market began 1888 to
day with a higher opening ana
then slipped into an irregular
decline which carried leaders
down about a point from Satur'
days close.
Pressure on the tobacco stocks
following the announcement Of
the long-rumored cigarette price
cut was the early unsettling in
fluence.
Declines Are Small
Declines in the group were
small, however, their recent weak
ness having discounted the news,
and strength in American To
bacco B brought rallying ten
denotes in the second hour.
Stocks like Crucible Steel and
Texas Corporation, which were
marked up on Saturday for year
end purposes, suffered their Gus
tomary sinking spell, Crucible
losing more than points OF
Saturdays 9-point squirt.
A decline in New York Central
sent rail stocks down from frac-
tions to a point. Leaders like
U. S. Steel, American Telephone,
Allied Chemical and Case ThreSh-
ing incurred declines running to
q point and more.
Trading Is Quiet
Stocks were at their worst
toward the end of the first
hour when rallying tendencies
appeared following better action
of the tobaccoS.
Bonds continued to give a
good performance. Commodities
were mixed, wheat tending higher
and cotton slipping.
Trading was quiet, with the
speculative community marking
time pending developments.

COTTON STARTS
YEAR WITH
DECLINE

NEW YORK, Jan. 8 GN.SJ.
In the first trading session of
1888, cotton futures moved
within a narrow range slightly
below the previous close.
Transactions were in limited
volume. Most of the offerings
came from New orleans and local
operators, although there was
some southern selling. Commits
sion houses sold in a small way.
The chief support came in the
form of foreign and domestic
trade buying, with Wall Street
making some purchases in distant
contracts. Liverpool also bought.
Midday quotations were / to 6
points lower. January was off
4 at 5.88. March off l at 500.
May off 3 at Gil, July off 2 at
6.23, and October off 6 at $40,

CROP DIP LEAST
FOR SUGAR

In spite of the much publicized
drop in the price of sugar, the
dollar volume of the domestic
crop, according an Alexander
Hamilton Institute survey, has
suffered less than any other, the
decline being only 81 per cent.
Vegetables, fruits and nuts, the
stuffs of soups and salads, follow
next, with declines of A per cent
each. Dairy products, milk, but
ter and cheese dropped 49 per
cent in dollar volume; poultry
and eggs 81 per cent.
At the lower end of the scale
are cotton and cottonseed, with
a decline of II per cent; grains,
with a decline of 10 per cent, and
wool, with a decline of SO per
cent. Dollar volume of cattle,
sheep and hogs dropped 60
per cent.
Tobacco maintains a midway
position with a decline of 50
per cent, close to all other pro-
ducts, which declined 81 per cent.

DOG AND PLANE

Standard Brands, Inc, because
of recent heavy storms, called air.

to maintain its daily deliveries of
yeast to bakers and foodstuffs to
grocers in marooned districts.
This emergency service, accord
ing to a statement accompanying
the quarterly dividend checks pay

the delivery network which now
supplies 10000 bakers and more
than $4,000 grocers in $1,000

Alaskan dog teams were first
drafted by the company for de-
liveries during a severe blizzard in
the State of Washington in 1914.
Planes chartered by the company
took the first food into Galveston
after the great flood in 1915.

said the decline in retail sales
during the second quarter of the
year lessened so that the total eS-
innate of all retail business Of
the country, including depart
ment stores, had to be revised up
ward to $31,5OO, 100000 for 1882
from an estimate of $4,000, ,000,-

coarse yarn cloths market was only
moderately active 'oday in the first
trading session of the new year.
Prices, however on leading construc-

resisting efforts to lower the standards
that have been maintained during the
last two or three weeks of 1882. There
was some checking in the market today
emanating from plans to get under way

STRAND THEATER

,
Three days were spent building
a pint-sized Oriental bathtub for
a scene in ''The Bitter Tea of
General YEN in which Barbara
Stanwyck was tremendously in
troduced to the rites that attend
an addition in China. Miss
Stanwyck is starred in "The Bit
ter Tea Of General Yen," CO.
lumbia picture, directed by Frank
Capra which plays tonight at the
Strand Theater.
A bath in China is far different
from the Saturday night washings
by which cartoons describe the
good old American manner of
bathing. The tub, to begin with,
is tiny, just about large enough
to sit in. 1t has a high back, and
is trimmed with wicker. On the
sides are handles so that the tub
may be carried about from one
room to another.
Four amahs pay attendance
upon the Bather in China. One
holds a towel; another face
cloth; the third perfume. and the
fourth the soap. In addition they
must heat and carry water for mi-
lady's plunge. Miss Stanwyck was
so fascinated with the experience
that she bought the tub after the
scene had been taken. and will
keep it in her home as a souvenir
of the picture.
Supporting Miss Stanwyck in a
Fascinating role as an American
girl who falls under the spell of
the Orient and the romantic Gem
eral Yen. are Nils Asther. Walter
Connolly, Gavin Gordon, Lucien
Littlefield, Helen Jerome Eddy,
