correct price ON EVERY PURCHASE.

Who next amongst the food proliteers is billed tor a scorching. Sugar ﬁends are getting their medicine, making wry faces and kicking hard against the dose. But prices of other things are tumbl- ing. and people are going to be bit. in natural course many opera- ting in the regular avenues of trade are going to suffer, and for

these the sympathy, and as tar as possible the support, of the con- suming public should and we be- lieve will be manifested. But for those who have deliberately cor- nered the food of the people for the greedy and selfish purpose of extracting improper gains, there is no room for either compassion 0r commiseration. Will Aha butter operator be the next to take the unpleasant dose. “The summer has been one of unusuaiy large ipro- ducLion. A portion ot last year's stock was actually caried over in cold storage to the present season, and then . unsaleable except lo: halting purposes. The high prices of fats and of molasses gave the hull-r specuiator visions of a sus- tained market which by cornering goods he could exploit to advan- tage. ‘But. fats are on the roadway 0t decline; molasses has already dropped 50 cents per gallon and

with every prospect oi a. still larger drop, one dealer estimating 90

cents or less as the retail price in the not distant duture. 'l‘hesc

things most naturally cause a de- crease in the consumption of butt- er, and Iwlth the largest stocks in cold storage in the world's history the outlook for the profitoer is cert-atiniy not roseate. Already a slump of 9 cents is recorded at St. Hyacinth, a leading creamery centre, with somewhat smaller reductions in other places, and buyershoiding off in lmany cases anticipating lower prices.

Meats too are showing a decided inclination downward, not rapidly but -swlft enough, in sympathy with other foodstuffs. The staple char- acter of these articles may prevent too quick n. descent, but the mur- gln of profit is not. usually large and it will not require a big drop in prices to “strike the ﬁllevlllﬂlﬂl‘ sharply. in the smaller articles of consumption which constitute the side dishes and delicacies which even the poorest of us have om- bltions to enjoy, there is also n strong disposition to meet us hail way. ‘Spices, and particularly our pungent pepper. are very much cheaper. While those declines have not yet reached our markets, and may not for some little time to come, it ls a conrfort to know that they are on the road and will in d-ue time reach us. One Montreal merchant claims that he has al- ready reduced his prices on ricc, sago. tapioca and other products of the Orient from nhoif to a quarter of previous prices.
