With this, The Evening World presents another*instalment of its High Cost of Living Reviews. Of course it does no good to con- front the speculators with facts, but the public will probably ap- preciate this—that this newspaper has made an effort to get indisputable fig- ires, especially those Which have to do with 1© receipts of foodstuffs at this the varying differences in prices when receipts ran high and low. The beginning of the third week of tthe war shows a slump tn the wholesale prices of meats, butter and eggs. Those familiar with coriditions do not expect this slump to be permanent and the consumer need not be surprised if no visible drop occurs in the retail prices of these products, in spite of the fact that exgs axe still plentiful and butter ie not scarce, Gambling is still the star feature in storage exes. re are 250 cars lying in the Chicago yards whose final ownership depends on the last drop of the cards. NEVER A GOOD REASON FOR THE HIGH PRICES, The slump in meats was due to the throwing on the markets last. week of thousands upon thousands of pounds of ail kinds of this product, which was in grave danger of becoming stale, Fact after fact piles up to prove the contentions of The Evening World that up until the present time there had never been the slightest reason for the boosting of the necessl- tes of life.

It is one of the oddities of war opinions on war prices that the big meat packers of Chicago, the men who have profited most by high prices, are the first to come out in favor of Government regulation. They have pulled in thelr heavily laden nets during twenty-nine months and are quite ready now to accept Government regulation of future prices for what must be a temporary period, Whatever way moves the packers stahd to make the big profits they were making prior to the world war. TABLE SHOWS EXTENT OF THE EGG CRIME. The big egg gamble ts still on, and the consumer is expected to pay 62 cents a dozen for storage eggs about Nov. 1, As The Evening World tndl- cated last week, several cars of the packed for storag have gone into Western warehouses at 40 cents, oth- | ers at 39 and some at 38 cents a dozen, There was a slump on Saturday of jthe storage price on the New York | exchanges, but nobody expects this {to last. In fact the trade papers | frankly admit that there ts “too much speculation just now" to bring about anything but a “still higher price” for “packed for storage eas.” Switt & Co, are, according to some of tho trade papers, the biggest buyers of storage packed eggs. One thing 1s certain now, that the Gov- ernment’s final report on storage egss |for the present season will show at least one-third more eggs in storage jthan last year, and there has never | been in the last twelve months any- | thing that could reasonably be called jan ces famine, For a week or ten days at a time there have been short- ages, but never a permanent upset- ting of the trade by reason of pro- longed lack of supplies. | Here are the receipts of eggs at | this port, day by day, during the past j}Week and the varying distributing | prices: Day of Week Wholesale Prices. er Ke, a The above the past wook were under the | total rece ek before, | which ran up to 196,201 cases. REVEALING THE BUTTER EX- TORTIONS, And now for butter, the wholesale price of which opened to-day at 44% and 45 cents a pound and the retail at 53 cents a pound, The present retail price is 8 cents above the wholesale market, when, experts claim, 6 cents would be a reasonable profit.
