[GH PRICES FOR FOOD IN ENGLAND overnment Control to Continue| During Winter Distribution York, Eng., Aug. 2: ce of the Associated FPress.)— bundance of imported meat, bacon, (Correspond- pheese, margarine, rice, tea, sugar and ppples is assured the people of Great Britain the coming winter by the au- horities but home grown products puch as milk, meat, butter and dried ruits, it is said, will be scarce and ostly. Meanwhile the government food ontrol will continue in order that ich and poor alike may share in the pvailable supplies. Nothing like the ardships endured during the last two rears of the war is anticipated because he government supervision and dis- ribution will not be so rigorous as fvhen Haig's arny had its “back to the wall.” The expense of feeding and fatten- ng cattle is the factor that will make ome zrown meat scarce.

The price for August was fixed at 68 cents per gallon to the dair man, and for September at 75 cents. Last winter it was 20 cents a quart, but higher prices are expected the coming winter, There is plenty of tea in the coun- try, but transportation systems are so out of joint, dealers say, it will cost more to handle and distribute it.

Nobody is worrying about sugar ex- cept as to price. The sugar commis- sion has been very active in the gen- eral market, and has obtained enough to last the coun until the end of the year at prices which, it is de- clared, are a little below the avera of Europe, but, of course, much high- er than the American price. 1f the commission had to go into market now it would be compelled to pay as much for sugar as the present retail price, and as it will likely have to do that early next year the consumer ex- pects to pay more Apples are high and scarce, the con- trolled price being 18 cents a pound. It is expected, however, that the fine crop here in England will serve to re- duce this price materially before the winter comes. Bakers and the government expect an increase in the cost of bread. There are abundant wheat supplies in Aus- tralia and the Argentine, but the scar- city of shipping makes immediate de- livery impossible. So England must depend on the United States and Can- MILLIONS OF PELTS TO BE AUCTIONED $15,000,000 in Furs to Be Placed on Sale at St. Louis—Many Ex- cellent Specimens. St. Louis, Mo.
