Bonds Decline
On Rediscount
Rate Increase
By WARREN BENNETT
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK. Nov. 10 R.-
Treasury bonds declined this
week as the Government tight
Iened credit another notch. For
the fourth time this year redis-
count rates in Federal Reserve
districts were raised one-quarter
Iper cent to az per cent, high
est since 1884.
The announcement came after
the close Of the market Thurs
day. The increase is a clear In
Idication that the Reserve Board
believes the business boom with
Its infiationary presSureS will
continue well into 1856.
Treasury bonds reacted on
Friday by dropping 7f32 to
1882. Over the week the 21as of
1868 lost 1882 to close at
81 6f32 bid. The Victory avs Of
December. 1s72-67, dropped
1882. The long range issues
were steadier. The 30-year SAs
lost 4l32 for the week while the
40-year IS were down 3/32 at
80 30l32 bid.
The rise in the rediscount rate
depressed corporate bond values
too. Investment quality issues
and debentures convertible into
common stock were lower for the
week as were rails and some util-
titles.
Foreign liens were fairly quiet.
German and Greek issues worked
lower. Japanese issues were
mixed and some South Ameri-
can bonds registered gains.

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Former-Food Paradox Cited
BY SYLVIA PORTER

Day after day your newspapers
carry headlines telling Of the
decline in farm incomes due the
drop in the prices Of farm
products.
But, day after day, at the food
store you find a loaf Of bread or
a box Of cereal or q tin OF
crackers aren't any cheaper
Milk may be more expensive
than ever. Any price reduc-
tions on the cuts Of meat you
choose are hardly as sensational
as the headlines you read would
suggest.
The paradox pushes itself into
your face.
Farmers incomes are down al
most IS per cent Just since l947.
are at a new postwar low. Since
the beginning Of 1855 alone. the
annual rate Of farm income has
dropped more than II per cent.
a
Yet. the prices you pay for
food have retreated only slight
ly. You still must pay Sill for
the food you could have bought
for 81 IN 1947-49. The official
food index actually has risen
since the start Of 1855.
Why? The answer to the para
dox lies in the middle.
The dollars the farmers are
not getting are disappearing into
the higher costs of the processes
between the farm and the food
store.
This is what is known as the
marketing margin" and 1t
covers everything from process
ing to packing. from storing to
grading. from transportation to
distribution.

II such checks aren't made. he
went on, this is what might
happen:
The sales person realizes that
