Yo'i.h, tl,M,, rvr a,nee you moved over Into West Philadelphia, to cut down and economise, and had never wasted the veri est scrap of food You had weighed every questionable package as delivered by the grocjiryman nnd had compelled the huckster iu .b,.,hco nil wilted or unripe articles. You had pinched nnd scraped to tho utmost, but the prices of the staples, the thlnga you roally could not do without, had been going up, and up, and up, nnd It wasn't your fault, so there! So, after your hmband had gone to his olllce. you called up the Rvknimo t,KDorn and related your difficulty. The nvENiKa I.EDacn has submitted It to a grocer In your neighborhood, who for thlrtythree years has notched the chnnges In foodstuff prices, ana with an anxiety similar to yours, for his living, like your own. depends upon tho ups and downs of the articles he handles that go upon your table dally, "The foodstuff market has been converted Into a stock market; that's the situation In a nutshell," declares -William T. Mc Intyre, of 631-36 North Thirty-eighth street There Is the same speculation with the products that we eat as there Is with stocks and bonds. If this could lie stopped, then I bellee we would see an adjustment of prices that would mako everything lower and end this manipulation by the big men. UP TO TUB GOVERNMENT "In my opinion It Is up to the Govern ment. There ought to be a law passed that would prevent this manipulation that I speak of. It seems to -me that foodstuffs ought to be considered differently from the other articles of speculation, nnd If "cor ners" In whent and flour, as well an the other food materials, were checked and the holding of meats and canned goods, bought up at low prices to be released only at high figures, bo prohibited. It would go far to wards solving the problem of lUIng costs. "In food at least the law of supply and demand should be the governing factor, not thd manipulations of a few men who are able to control the business of the country. ."For a good part of the thirty-three years that I have been In business I have fur nished Philadelphia prices to the Govern ment, and I have seen changes that I be lieve, were uncalled for by the crop or by other conditions upon which the market should depend. I have read some of the articles on present prices In the Evknino Ledobr, and tn some cases I am afraid the quotations are a bit too high. They are a bit above what I get for tho same articles here. But the market la changing every day, and maybe the prices I quote today will not apply tomorrow. "Now, Jet us take meats. They are down a little the last few days, but stilt above the Hcures of a year ago. Sirloin brings thirty three cents, as against thirty last year. Round steak, now twenty-eight to thirty cents, was twenty-six to twenty-eight. Rib roast has risen from twenty and twenty two to twenty-flvo cents a pound, while chuck Is eighteen to twenty cents. Instead of sixteen to eighteen. Boiling beef Is about the same, at ten cents. Pork loin chops that were about twenty-three cents are now twenty-five, while Bllced bacon brings thirty cents, or twenty-five cents In the piece, which was the price for sliced meat a year Last Year's Market Basket Compared With This Year's THE market basket of one year nRo and today, ns filled from, prices quoted by William T.

Sliced ham. now thirty-three to thirty five cents, was thirty cents, with whole hams today at twenty-threejeents. 'Last year they sold at twenty Lard has gone up from fourteen cents to twenty and twenty-one cents. "Yearling lamb Isn't much changed. It's twenty-five cents now, and sold from twenty to twenty-five cents a year ago. Chickens that brought twenty-three cents at this time last year are now twenty-six cents n pound. "Flour Is hard to quote. It changes every day, but brands that sell for $1.35 a bag to-' uay were I to 11.05 twehe months ago. Cornmeal Is about the same, three cents a pound. It ranged from two and one-half to three In 1915. Butter that Is now forty-six cents was forty, while tub butter Is thirty eight, as against thlrty-flve. Cheese has Jumped from twenty-two to twenty-nve cents. "Potatoes arc running about fifty cents a peck today, and they are almost Impossible to get at thatftjur. You could buy all you wanted last year for thirty or thirty-five cents. "Good Carolina rice Is selling today at nine cents, or three pounds for a qusrter. That Is exactly what I got for It last year. Navy beans are twenty cents a quart which Is two pounds. They sold for six to eight cents a pound a year ago. "Coffee, Ilka rice, hasn't changed In price. Tea Is also about the same. You can buy the same 'coffees for twenty-five cent all the way to thlrty-flve and thirty-eight cents that were quoted at those figures In 1915. The standard grades of tea stilt bring from forty to sixty cents. Tomsloes. of a brand that Is regarded as a standard, bring fifteen cents for the same can that was twelve and one-half cents. "Onions sell at four cents a pound, or fifteen cents a quarter peck. They were ten cents a quarter In last year's quota tlons. California prunes average fourteen cents, which Is about last year's figure, but they are of last year's crop. The new prunes haen't been put on the market. It's the same with seeded raisins. They are twelve cents a pound In packages which was about their average a year ago, but the new ones are now put up In cans and come at thirteen cents, "California oranges of an ordinary slie, what we know In the trade as ISO's brought thirty-five cents a doien. They are now selling at forty-five cents, and are hard to get Florida oranges have not changed so much, but the quality la not so good CAUSE LtKS WITH PRODUCERS "The cause tit all this upward turn, I believe. Ilea with tha producers themselea and With the big packing and wholesale houses, which are able to corner tha trade J We have an association here In the city which buys In carload lots and we get a small discount through this mutual pur chase plan. But een this doesn't lower prices to any considerable extent, and the only remedy I know Is for a law to bo passed taking foodstuffs out of the hsnds of the speculators and forbidding price manipulation. Congress ought to have tha power to do this. It regulates what tha railroads shall charge, so why cannot It declare that food operators sjall have only a fair profit, especially when what they deal In Is the real necessity of the people?" Not far away from Mr Mclntyre's store, and In another thickly-populated center of West Philadelphia, Is the establishment of Croh Eckman, at the northeast corner of Thirty-seventh street and Lancaster nenue. "It's too much for me, and I have been In business here for nearly thirty-nine years," exclaimed tha proprietor when tha present condition and Its causes wer suggested 'The retail grocers are not getting he money Look around here," and Mr Kik man waved his hand In the direction of his well-stocked iheltc. if ( put the money I have Invested In those roods into a sav ings fund today I would gel a better return than I do by selling groceries.
