Hore is Phe Evening World's sug- estion to housewives, based on a careful study of the produce market following the break last Wednesday: Keep up the economy campaigh in the home. Don’t for a day increase your consumption of butter, eges, po- tatoes or poultry. campaign ts kept up the prices of these commodities will gradually be restored to a normal level. There is every reason to expect a further drop in butter, egss and potatoes if the housewife maintains her present att!- tude. It will mean losses to the crowd that created the unnatural prices and these losses may have the result of finally and permanently awakening the food men to the fail- ure of a policy of bluff and unfair dealing with the public that supports them. This is what happened yesterday after the publication in The Evening World of the break in wholesale prices: The retail price of potatoes dropped from 10 to 8 cents a pound. But at the present wholesale prices the re- tallers can afford to drop % cent more and sell two pounds for 15 cents. There was a drop of 25 cents yesterday on the wholesale prices per barrel, making a total drop of $1.76 in three days. Virginia potatoes are quoted at $8.50 and $10.50 a barrel wholesale, RETAIL DROP IN BUTTER NOT ENOUGH. Butter dropped 2 cents in most stores, yesterday's retail quotations being 43, 45 and 47 cents a pound. ‘This is not quite down to the levelof the wholesale drop of the iast three or four days, which ranged from 2% to 3 cents on the pound. Yesterday, however, the market stiffened and there was an advance equivalent to % cent. This would atill leave a wholesale decrease of 2% cents on the pound. Here are the prices with which the wholesale markets opened to-day: Creamery, fine to fancy, 4" and 41% cents a pound; creamery, good to prime, 40 and 41 cents a pound; creamery, ordinary to fair, 40 and 41 cents a pound; Eastern: dutry tub, finest, 40 and 41 cents @ pound. These quotations are from Foy’s New York Dairy Market Report. Price-Current, published by the Urner-Barry Company, quotes cream- ery firsts a and 41 cents a pound and creamery seconds at 87% and 39 8 a pound. The New York Produce Keview and Amer! an Creamery has ti. to say in its current issue: “A drop of two and a half and three cents in the The World’s Best Guaranteed to ple perfectly or you ca) back and get your m ONDER FROM YOUR GROCER, INsIs Sunbeam,” © doubt you've Gul- den’s in the Louse, but learn to use it more, No flavor like Gulden's, GULDEN’S Mustard American Standard for If the economy} GREAT MARKET NEWS! BUTTER AND EGG PRICE TAKES ANOTHER DROP The tutter and egg market broke to-day again. The wholesale cost of eggs dropped 11-2 cents a dozen from yesterday's prices. This makes a total break of from 31-2 to 88-4 cents in three days, The Will Indicate Food That May Be “Eaten Without Pa- © triotic Qualm.” ECONOMY IN THE HOME, retailers have made no change in the prices of the grade known as “firsts” since May 20, and it ts the “firsts” variety, the best of fresh eges, that has broken in the face of an economic campaign and a |] fear that has taken hold of the wholesale hoarders. “Fists” went down to-day to 381-4 and 381-2 a dozen wholesale. There were 23,106 cases received to-day, or 693,180 dozen, Butter dropped 1 cent on the '{ pound. The receipts to-day totalled 11,608 packages or 696,480 pounds. On these “breaks” there should be a further reduction on butter for retail and fresh gathered eggs. Tno “firsts” variety should drop at least 4 cents a dozen. Put Check of Intelligence on All Waste and Extrava- gance, Marguerite Mooers Marshall. R a patriotic drive on waste and extravagance, three of the 1a est clubs in the olty, representing ing in their mem- bership practically all of New York's well known women, have combined forces in an advi ory board which is to deal with the Problem of war price of most grades of table butter only partially tells the styry of the week's trading. The decline is the natural sequence to an over bullish movement the previous week, in pages’ which values were forced np to 43% cents for extra creamery and 44 and ts dts fe 44% cents for some of the gilt edge lots, Those figures stopped all specu- lative support, forced retail prices higher and checked consumption to such an extent that stock soon began to accumulate in first hands.” Cabbage dropped to 5 cents a pound r This is not enough. Experts claim that it should be selling for 4 cents, and that this rate would give the retailers ample profit. The com. question are the Women's City Club, the Cosmopolitan Club and the Par- ents’ League, 81x women—Mrs, Learn- e¢ Hand, Mrs, Edmund B. Wilson, Mrs. BE. O. Holter, Mra. Augustus B. Field, Miss Mable Kittredge, Miss Emily Dinwiddie—two from each club, constitute the advisory board.

Checking up on Tuesday's draft rem: | istration, the first atep in the round- up of slackers, developed in four dis- tinet lines to-day. Disclosures reaching Washington Principally Philadelphia, to the effect that registration cards were illegally issued, in some cases by the hun- dreds, to slackers who did not reg. ister, caused orders to be sent here to-day for a thorough Investigation Slackera are declared to have bribed registration officers, It ts charged that specific instances have been discovered of registrars selling the blue registration cards for from $1 to $10 each. Other officers are de- clared to have given away cards as/| souvenirs to their friends, opening | the way for wholesale violations of the law. It ts believed that the presence of Policemen and Home Defense guards at the registration places in New York City prevented such frauds here. A second phase of the investiga- tions to-day was that into the regis- tration of New York's big t stent population.
