ing since 1888, the normal new or re-
placement demand for residences is
not being met. The shortage of homes
which has accumulated during the de-
preston amounts to nearly a million.
Hence rents have every reason to con-
tinue on to higher levels. With land
values on the upgrade and the Fed
eral Housing Administration offer
ing attractive financing terms, the
wise renter is either signing a long
lease or making plans to build in the
near future.
Clothing is in the same position as
housing from the cost standpoint AL
though there is promise of a good
crop this year, raw cotton prices are
holding firm. Inventories of finished
goods are the lowest in years. Mean
while, retail trade is excellent and
stocks are turning over rapidly. Re-
tail clothing prices had a very sharp
rise-25 to 30 per cent-soon after the
announcement of the MIRA but have
been practically unchanged during the
past two years. The long-pull outlook
however, is for definitely higher
prices. I believe readers will be pay
ing more for suits and dresses next
spring than they are now.
TOday's Danger
In many cases, home furnishings
are selling 20 to Is per cent higher
than in 1888. Their advance is not
over. Raw materials are working up
ward. Labor costs are bound to in
crease. Furniture demand is the best
in years. I see nothing to be gained
by waiting to purchase furniture and
the like now if you have the cash. Do
not, however, buy small items on
"easy payment terms. You pay too
big a premium for the accommoda-
ton. Buying a home on a long-term
'installment" mortgage is sound, but
on small purchases the loading
charge" is out Of line due to book
keeping overhead.
The administrations monetary and
agricultural policy has been aimed to
bring about higher prices-a return to
the 1926 level with a hope of helping
business. Rising prices do stimulate
business provided that maladjust-
ments do not occur For instance, if
the city workers food bills are dou-
bled, and are not offset by increases
in his pay envelope, he is forced to
cut his buying of other goods. Then
recovery falters. This is the real dan
ger today: Too sharp a rise in food
costs. AS a hedge-stock up now with
as many staples as you can buy. If
you have a garden, revive the old
wartime practice of putting down
a good line of vegetables and pre-
serves for the coming winter.
Business, as registered by the Bah
sonchart, is now IS above a year ago,

presents one-third of most cost Of liv-
ing ca:cu't lions. Other weightings
are: Housing 20 per cent. clothing IL
per cent, fuel and light five per cent.
and sundries 80 per cent.
Retail food prices have jumped fifty
per cent since 1888 and are at new
peak for the past six years. The
drought alone has boosted grocery
and provision expenses 10 per cent in
the last few weeks. Contrary to gen
eral belief, the real stimulus has been
the short corn crop, not the spring
wheat failure. Most city folks think OF
wheat, as our biggest farm product.
Like cotton, it is spectacular because
it is money" crop. Wheat farming
is "big business" and the stakes are
high when conditions are right The
! fact that 20 per cent of our wheat
harvest used to be exported in normal
times adds romantic touch. But fun
damentally the corn crop is more i'm
| Dortant.
Hogs market Corn
Less than a fifth of the corn crop
is marketed in the form Of grain. The
remainder is fed to livestock right on
the farm Hence, the corn crop comes
to market on the hoof-principally
of hogs. That corn which does leave
/ the farm as grain Is used primarily
for dairy and poultry feed-only a
small portion goes into corn mullins
or corn starch pudding. Hence a
shortage in corn quotations means
higher pork, higher beef and higher
dairy prices. This in turn should Gre
ate stronger demand and rising prices
=, for substitute foods such as fish, GER
tain vegetables and fruits. The short
crop has already lifted corn prices to
par with wheat, when normally
there is a 30-cent differential per
! buShel.
A sharp rise in the price of any
commodity so thoroughly interviewer
in our national economic life is bound
to be reflected all the way down the
line. For example, high food costs will
force wage increases in textile mills
woodworking factories and other in
dustries. Increased labor costs will
bring higher clothing and furniture
sales tags. In turn, this will produce
an inevitable advance in automobile
prices, amusement tickets and doctors
bills. We may get an idea of what te
expect in the next year or two by re-
viewing the changes in the various
cost of living items since farm prices
first started their upward jaunt in the
early days of the New Deal
Plan To Build Now.
While food has been the outstand
ing performer, rents have also made
substantial gains-as much as 20 pei
cent in some localities. There is big
theoretical shortage in homes. Ever
with the sharp Improvement in build
