DECLINE FORECAST
IN FARM INCOME
Downward Trend of Prices
Cited by Review of Ham,
iIton Institute.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, July 13-Despite the
fact that total farm cash income. as
compared with year ago, was 1877
larger in MAY and 1874 per cent larger
in the first five months, the price
situation indicates that the annual
1885 income will be smaller than that
of 1894, according to the Alexander
Hamilton Institutes Bureau Of BuSi-
ness Conditions.
at is also probable that the farmers
purchasing power for the year, as a
whole, will be smaller than in 1884
despite the increase over last year of
1872 per cent in May and of So per
cent in the first five months" the re-
view states.
Since the quantity of farm products
marketed in one year always CORE
spends closely to the size of the har-
vest in the previous year It may be
estimated that the index of the guam
tity sold this year will be 67.2, as COM
pared with 85.7 in 1884 and 1000 in
1929. This estimate is based on the
curtailment of last years harvest as
the result of the drought and of the
Governments acreage restriction
measures.
"The quantity of farm products sold
during the first five months was
slightly lower than the estimate for
the full year. The figure for the last
seven months should therefore be
somewhat higher than the annual
estimate. The figure works out at 67.7.
The price index of farm products dur
ing the remainder of the year must
consequently average Sl.4 in order to
provide an income from marketingS
this year equal to the 1884 income.
"The present outlook is that the
price average will be considerably lower
than that. The highest figure reached
during the first five months was 760 in
April and since that time the trend
has been downward. In June the
price index of farm products was only
71.2.
"It would not be surprising II the
price average during the remainder of
the year dropped below the June
figure"

Top-Heovy Excess Of Shipments to Europe
Is IsReduced BY Moderate Increase in Imports

large export balance TO an import ex-
cess, from the standpoint of the
United States, is trade with Germany.
In the first five months goods
bought from Germany were valued at
$3l l,206,211, compared with exports
valued at $26, 6,721,1 ,194. Imports from
Germany in the comparable period
last year were about the same total,
but exports were more than twice as
great, exceeding s62,000,000
The abnormal decline in sales

Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter will say
in its July Is issue Business was
irregular to quiet. Competitive ac-
tivity was noticeable in a few articles
in the fine group, with some offsetting
influence exerted by diminished
supplies.
Scarcity of santonin resulted in
the doubling of the price. Current
quotations on potash fertilizer salts
were advanced, but the introduction
of new discounts lowered the prices
for Fall and Winter deliveries. Dark
higher; the light shades were moved
downward. Higher prices were named
on red lead and litharge in car lots
and on tetrachloride of tin, aloin and
superfine shellac. Competition brought
lower prices on iodine and the iodides
of soda and potash. There was no
change in the price of bismuth metal,
but quotations on subnitrate, SUBJ
carbonate and subgallate were re-
duced. Barytes was cheaper at East
ern points. Lower prices were quoted
on domestic castor pomace, South
American bone and dried blood at
Chicago"
The Reporters composite index
number of prices for heavy and fine
chemicals was lowered from 1858 to
1857 compared with August /, 1914,
as 1000. In comparison with average

Golden Text is from James, Bless
ed is the man that endureth tempt
alton; for when he is tried, he shall

The Lesson-Sermon presents these

Verify, verify, I say unto you. He
that heareth my word, and believeth
on him that sent me, hath ever
lasting life, and shall not come into
condemnation; but is passed from
death unto life For as the
Father hath life in himself; so hath
he given to the Son to have life
in himself"
A passage from the Christian Sci

man with his deeds must be put
off. Nothing sensual or sinful is
immortal. The death of a false ma
