PRICES OF STAPLES
Lower Than in Midwinter, but
Higher Than Year Ago.
VALUES' PROBABLE COURSE
Livestock, Egrss and Butter Will
Have a Good Foundation for
an Active Advance Next
Fall and Winter,
The declines that have been announced
recently tn the prices of a number of staple
commodities might cause it to appear that
the cost of living Is being lowered. As
compared with the general range of values
In the mid-Winter season this Is true, but
when comparison Is made with the prices
of one year ago, it will be found, rather,
that the cost of living has advanced, as the
following schedule of values will show I

In the Spring months prices naturally tend
downward as the supply of farm products
Increases, and when mid-Summer arrives,
the living cost will- be at its lowest ebb.
Fruits and vegetables are then abundant
and cheap and buyers are not compelled
to purchase the more expensive meat
products. At the close of Summer, the scale
can again be expected to turn upward, and,
as the average level of values at that time
Is likely to be high, as compared with former
years, it is reasonable to expect that the
cost of Uvllng next Winter will be greater
than last "Winter.
In the livestock line, particularly, there
will be a good foundation for an extremely
active lift in prices, as no one looks for as
low quotations this Summer as In past
years. Hogs, especially, are certain to rule
high during the Summer months, because
of the small supply In the country, and
should, therefore, be very high next Winter.
The egg market also seems to be shaping
itself for jt hicfh level in the Winter, Judg
ing from the Summer storage I asis, and for
the same reason high butter prices are
looked for when cold weather comes. The
prospects for good apple prices In the Fall
and Winter are also bright, owing to the
short crop indicated in the Fast. Flour
values will depend on the course of the
wheat market. The future of grain le at
this time uncertain, but no one looks for
an early return to the low prices of previous
years.

PBESSURE 15 LESS
Liquidation of Stocks Seems
Nearly Over.
CHECKS TO THE DECLINE
Bears Hesitate to Pursue the Down
ward Course of Prices With
Further Short Sales More
Funds Are Available.
NEW YORK. May 2. The undertone of
speculative sentiment today remained de
pressed and discouraged, notwithstanding
an apparent lightening of the active pres
sure of liquidation and signs of hesitation
on the part of the shorts about pursuing
the downward course of prices with fur
ther sales. The tears were inclined to
cover their shorts at frequent intervals to
establish a fre-h vantage point from which
to attack prlcss. 2-ience tue recurrent
checks to the decline and intermittent
rallies.
As prices were forced lower, selling was
forced by the wiped-out margins and un
covering of- stop loss orders. Expressions
on the part of bankers of the inopportune
money market position for entering on
any speculative campaign in stocks d's
cou raged operations on that side of . the
market.
Cotton payments in fulfillment of the
three days' notices sent put to purchasers
on Friday were made on a large scale and
the regular May interest and dividend pay
ments were somewhat larger than usual
It is expected that the completion of these
settlements will be followed by the return
of funds thus released to the market. The
JBank of England reserve was replenished
by more arrivals of American gold, but the
holiday on the London Stock, Exchange left
no medium forspeculative appraisement of
that development. The foreign exchange
late deolined further, widening the margin
away from the profit on exports.
Amalgamated copper broke- through the
lowest prices touched during the whole of
the year 1909. Unsatisfactory demand and
accumulating stocks gave force to the ru
mors of an intended sharp cut in prices of
copper In some such spasmodic fashion as
iron and steel prices were raised more than
a year ago. April exports of copper were
shown to Have fallen off heavily without
effecting any reduction in the reported vis
ible supply in London.
It was commented upon that Pennsyl
vania suffered no more than the average
decline, although the directors refrained
from advancing the dividend rate.
Returns of March net earnings showed
the Eastern trunk lines rather better off
In the proportion of gross increases con
served for the net than in the case of lines
in some other parts of the country.
Bonds were easy; total sales, par value
$2,318,000. United States bonds were un
changed on -call.
