Conditions that appear stronger
than last season:
l. Current prices for domestic
woods are slightly above the average
level during the past season when
prices at Boston advanced 8 to 10
per cent from April to December,
then levelled off. Regardless of what
may happen later, those who sell
early this season will realize more
than those who sold at the same
time last year.
2. Domestic mill consumption in
the latest months reported was run
ming higher than a year previous.
3. Military buying is much less
now require that domestic wool be
used so long as the price is below
10 per cent of the government sup
port level. At present prices, all mill
tary goods must be made from do
mestic woods.
f. Part of the wool placed under
price-support loans, amounting to
100000 pounds of grease wool on
Dec. 81, probably will be turned
over to the government on March
81. Fine and half-blood woods at Bos-
ton are quoted little over the loan
values and coarser woods are at or
near them. Some may be high enough
to make it profitable for the grower
to redeem the loan stocks, but many
are not. Once the government owns
the wool, it cannot be sold until
prices are considerably higher.
5. The last Southern Hemisphere
clip is being absorbed without diff
ficulty. Foreign markets have been
firm for several months and do not
appear low compared with domestic
prices. Present prices for Australian,
New Zealand and South African
woods are higher than the past sea-
sons average. South American woods
appear to be about the same as they
have been on the average in the last
II months.

Supply and demand forces that
look weaker than in the past season:
1. Government loan rates under
the price support program probably
will be about 8 per cent lower than
last year. They will be intended to

law, but parity is about that much

2. Even though prices for foreign
woods do not appear to be cheaper
than domestic woods, imports of APP
parel wool at three leading ports
in the first ten weeks of 1853 were
about rs per cent greater than year
ago. The increase has been mainly
in South American woods due to
preferential exchange. rates put into
effect last July. Imports of wool
fabrics and wool tops also have been
increasing.
Carryover stocks in the United
States on April / and world stocks
of apparel wool on July probably
will be slightly larger than last year.
The increase will be too small, how
ever, to have appreciate influence
on prices. AS pointed out previously,
part of the carryover in the United
States will be owned by the govern
ment. Free" stocks will be less than
in 1852.
4. World production is uptrending.
1t is likely to increase slightly this
year and next unless severe drouth
strikes some important producing
country. At best, however, the in
crease will be small.
5. Output of synthetic fibers which
compete with wool, especially in
summer clothing and to some ex-
tent in blends for heavier garments,
probably will be greater in the COM
ing year.

kept pace with this decline? Be-
cause of the same factors which
seem likely to block any notable
trimming of the food budget this
year, the industry says: Rising
operating costs. resulting mainly
from higher wages. transportation
rates and taxes.
1.-THE Nations 1852 tax bill of
about $85 billion will far exceed
its food bill Of $64 billion as con-
trasted to a tax bill of $12.5 bill
lion and a food bill of SIG billion
back in 1885," says Paul Willis.
CMA president.
Then. too, food factory en-
ployes now get $2.55 for the same
amount Of labor for which they
were paid 81 in 1899. And the
same amount of rail transporta-
tion which cost 81 in 1899 now
costs $1.79 and in some instances
as much as $1.85."
How about profits in the in
dustry? Mr.. Willis calls the earn
ings picture "the only disturbing
element in the food year" Despite
big sales gains, for 80 grocery
manufacturers whose products
represent a cross section Of the
grocery basket, the rate of profit
has declined from a. cents per
dollar Of sales in 1889 to "a cents
in 1851 and to an estimated 90
cents for the past year, he said.
Profit Vote Declines.
And for 18 big food chains the
profit rate went down from 1.8
cents per sales dollar in 1889 to
nine-tenths of cent in 1851 and
to an estimated eight-tenths for
1852.
Food supplies. barring unfor-
seen weather or international
complications. are expected to be
generally adequate this year.
Weighing the anticipated demand
for food this year with the sup
plies in prospect, the Bureau Of
Agricultural Economics has pre-
|dicted that retail prices will aver
age about the same as in 1852.
1T forecast somewhat higher
prices for turkeys, milk. cheese,
eggs, butter, some cereals, dry
beans and peas and canned vege-
tables.
On the other hand, beef, veal
and lamb may sell for a little less
on the average. the bureau said
(although some meat industry
authorities dispute this). as prob
ably will chicken, fish frozen

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Con-
sumer food prices climbed to a
new record high in 1852. And
although they've eased a bit lately,
the food industry doesn't look for
much of a decline this year.
The peak came in August when
effects of the drought were being
felt. Food prices as whole
pushed to the highest average in
the Governments 39-year-old re-
tail food index. BY November
this index, covering Sc cities. had
fallen below the year-ago level.
But the estimated average Of
231.6 for the whole year 1852 still
was well above the previous years
227.4. (The index uses average
1935-1939 prices as a base Of 1000.
These higher prices helped push
Americas total food bill to a new
record. An authoritative trade
association. Grocery Manufacture
ers Of America, estimates that the
total value Of food sold through
all channels of distribution rose
to $64 billion in the past year,
compared with $60.7 billion the
year before.
Prices Partly to Blame.
Only part of that big increase
could be blamed on prices, food
men said. They pointed out that
there were more mouths to feed,
too. Also, more housewives were
demanding foods processed to save
time and trouble-and were will
ing to pay more to get them. Evil
dence of this trend was a sharp
increase in sales of such items as
frozen foods. canned meats. ready
to-cook turkeys, packaged Chinese
or italian combination dinners.
American families are estimated
to be spending about 81 per cent
of their income after taxes for
food-compared with % per cent
in the late 1930s.
Wholesale food prices have
dropped much faster than retail
in recent months. The wholesale
processed foods index of the
Bureau of Labor statistics will
average well below 1851. And the
Associated Press weighted index
of food commodities covering
eggs. sugar. cocoa. coffee. flour
lard and butter) near the year
end was at the lowest level in
more than two years.

NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-The Ma
tion's railroads reaped benefits in
1852 from their 81 billion postwar
improvements.
They hit new peaks Of efficiency
in operations.
This. coupled with freight rate
increase, lifted net income 1.8 per
cent above the preceding year.
despite small declines in freight
and passenger volume.
Outlook for 1853 is favorable,
too. While industry and business
stay at high operating levels. the
carriers will be kept busy.
Emphasis in the coming year
will be put on a campaign to revise
restrictive railroad legislation, on
efforts to reduce the continuing
deficit from passenger service, and
on increasing the freight car sup
ply.
Results Reviewed.
Reviewing 1852 results, the AS
sociation of American Railroads
estimated net railroad income to-
tailed SITS million, representing a
return Of 4 per cent on property
investment. This compared with
about $693 million, or $3.50 per
