lutely lloldlne back filled your eyes In
snlto of your strongest effort, and you told
him how It was.
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

"Yearling lamb Isn't much changed. It's

twenty to twenty-five cents a year ago.
Chickens that brought twenty-three cents at

"Flour Is hard to quote. It changes every

Cornmeal Is about the same, three cents a

Jumped from twenty-two to twenty-nve

"Potatoes arc running about fifty cents a

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
