CUTTING TO BESTARTED Reductions on All Commodi- ties Beginning Thruout | Country BY RALPH F, COUCH WASHINGTON, June 9.--A new Weries of reductions of prices of all Sommodities is beginning in nearly fery section of the country, James | McCoy, actuary of the treasury de- Partment, claimed today. The nation das witnessed a price cutting wave hich began just about a year ago wut has slowed during the last aths. Now pricecutting is to be umed on a new and faster scale, Wt is indicated by factors which Mo- Dey considers important. One of the factors is an unysually vig drop in the per capita circula- tion of money. In the month ended June 1 the per capita circulation fell ' off 88 cents to $55.43 a person, ac serding to an announcemet by the treasury. This shows conclusively ‘hat prices are falling, says McCoy. | “It means that money {s getting harder to obtain, because there is less f it to be had. When you have to vork harder to get money, it is worth more and will buy more. “During the war money was tn- Mated, plentiful and easy to obtain —that is, comparatively, That is what made all prices soar. Now that we're being deflated, the con- Terse becomes true.” | STATE COAL NOT USED IN STATE Among the questions to be consid- ered by the coal strike commission, hich was -in session in Olympia hursday, is why California oil and foreign coal are being for heat- ing and lighting public buildings, While there is plenty of local fuel available, Recent findings of the commission show that only 50 per cent of the eal used in Washington ts produced im the state. Figures show that 20 per cent comes from other states, and 30 per cent from Canada or other foreign countries. The commission is succompanied by William Short, executive chair- man of the State Federation of Labor, and W. B. Fairbanks, prest- dent of district No, 10, United Mine Workers of America. Thursday a conference was scheduled with state Officials, and Friday at 10 a. m. is the time set for hearing of union gnembers. EGGS INCREASE; MELONS DECLINE An increase of from 1 to 2 cents gn egg quoations was chalked up late Wednesday afternoon on the local market. The new prices are 27 cents @ dozen on the fresh ranch eggs and 22 cents on the pullets. A decreas- ing production, combined with a steady demand, is the reason for the advance. Cantaloupes, which are arriving in larger lots daily, were $1 cheaper § » Thursday on the standard crates, at $5 @ crate, and from 75 cents to $1 less on the pony crates, at $1 to $4.25. ‘The first straight car of watermel- oms for thie market is expected to arrive early next week.
