NEW YORK, September 18.—The American householder can buy a néw The new company, it was announced, can opener and use It freely without has procured a charter in Delaware iserious depletion of his pocketbook in New York. throughout the coming fall and win- ter. The great staple articles of food which are packed or preserved, and which play & prominent part in the daily sustenance of the United States, give no evidence of any marked ad- vanca in price, and in general may be expected to remain at present or lower levelss This conclusion {s based upon tel graphic reports received within the last twenty-four howrs from experts in every blg producing and plcklr‘\j section of the country. Packs ned foods in nearly every center are running heavily in excess of those of 1921. The hold-over &t>cks of that year aré not yet nmlrel% disposed of, and there certainly will be no refty of the greater number of varietles of canned fruits, vegetables or milk in the next year.

As a consequence prices came down in many sections.

The avail- able supply of salmon is less than at this time last year and jobbers have bought conservatively and sold close. Prices for tuna and other Cali- fornia fish packs are unsettied. owing to keen competition and higher prices | demanded by fishermen. Unsettlement in the canned goods situation also prevails in the Pacific northwest, according to telegrams from Seattle. Although stocks are greatly depleted. prices are low and there is little demand. Canned sal- mon packs are on a par with last year and prices likewise. The packs in the northwestern states in general are 10 per cent above the average, St. Paul reported today. The price tendency is downward, but the decline will be emall because the production cost line has already bheen | approached. Minnesota’s corn pack {s short, however, and the amount of beans for canning has been cut down by protracted hot weather. See No Advance in Prices. Canners In the middle west, accord- ing to word from Chicago, are confi- dent they can dispose of the entire output of the 1922 season at prices now being quoted. ~Wholesalers at last are showing real interest in that section, but there is no intention of canners to boost prices. Retall gro- cers who have deferred buying now are convinced that nothing is to be gained by waiting for further reduc- tions. Prices are lower than those of {1921 for all the great staples except canned peas. Canned goods hold a firm position in the south, New Orleans states. and prices are steady with an abundant supply of shrimps and a heavy oys- ter pack in prospect. Increases in price, however, are not belleved to be imminent. Offset to Decrease. Reports from Boston assert that EDUCATIONAL. Colimbia Kindergarten Normal School. Reopens October 4.

Prices made a sudden jump of more than 4 cents a bushel in the early dealing and the market showed broad activity. Big purchases of Canadian wheat for shipment to Furope were reported. Speculative traders who have been persistent sellers of late became urgent buyers. The opening which varied from 14 to 1% higher, with De- cember, 1.02% to 1.02%, and May. II.OG* to 1.07, was followed by a rise 1 which was unchecked until December touches 1.06, after which something of a reaction ensued. Corn and oats went upward with wheat. After opening % to % higher, December 57% to 58, the corn market scored moderate additional gains. Oats started % to 8, December 35% to 36, and later continued to ascend.
