REPORTED SINKING

COMPARISON SHOWS SOME REDUCTIONS

Effect of European Slump is Already Being Felt in This Coumry. INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERYtCIt Price comparisons secured today by th International News Service Indicate that the terrific slump inforlgn exchange, with its corresponding effect on American exports Is already effecting a considerable reduction In the price of foodstuffs. So far the crop has been most noticeable In the wholesale market but according to the wholesalers in retail prices should soon show considerable decrease. The shutting oc of exports has created a big surplus of meats, a prominent stock yards packer aid today. HAM? MICH LOWER "Medium grade hams which so:d at wholesale on July 5 for 3S cents a lo., are now filing for 28 1-2." he aid. "Beef selling at IS cents a pound on July o has dropped as low as 14. cents and medium pork loins have ala gone off about 3 cents a pound in th wholesale market. Lard took a similar lump. "A corresponding decrease."' said tha f aeker, "should obtain among the retailers. Unquestionably these eharv reductions are due to the shrinkage in foreign exchange which curtailed exrorts. If the low- rate continues it nay mean a complete stop to all errorts and then of course prices will g o still lower . " 1U0T( IHPORT5 "And tha flump in exchange works both ways for the benefit of the Amer ican consumer. Vbil it la unprofitable for America to export goods, it is extremely profitable to import thine, for a few American dollars will go a long way towards paying for import ed goods wun loreign coin. "For instance, tho heavy slump In the wholesale price of roquefort cheese warrants a reduction in the retail price frcim $3.00 to $1.50 a pound. CAEI GOODS DIE "Due to curtailment of exports condensed milk, had dropped today $1 on p case of 4S cans. All other canned articles commonly exported are now scheduled for reduction." wholesalers said. CALUMET BAKERS HAD WAITED FOR CHICAGO'S RAISE Bakers of the Calumet region wr one Jump ahead of the Chicago bakers in the matter of increasing the rrice, according to F. C. Dietrich of the Dietr.ch Bakery. The only reason that th people of the Calumet region have not been paying increased prices for bread for the past several weeks has been because the local bakers must meei tha prices of th Chicago bakers in oreler to compete with them for th leical trade. Increased costs of production, says Mr. Dietrich, have made an increase in the price of local baked breads imperative for several weeks and the local bakers have been looking for an increase by Chicago bakers as the onl means of averting bankruptcy. Other bakers intimate that the price of bread of local bakers would go still higher if the Chicago bakers were not competitors in the field.
