THE OREGON DAILY . JOURNAL, - PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY, , AUGUST 13, 1919, ninirnn nrT nin FOOD LOTS FROM WAR DEPARTMENT Records Show Packers Purchased Surplus Placed on Market" Un der Former Plan of Disposal. PRICEf RFfilN TO YUMBLF Municipalities to Receive Bulk of Supplies Hereafter; Change Forced by Stand of Congress. Washington Aug. 13. Large quantities of army supplies, it was learned today, were sold to the pack ers and other concerns by the war. department before a halt was called on unregulated "selling by congress and other agencies. In the future the bulk Of the supplies will go to the municipalities and more directly to the consumer by parcel post and there will be no more selling of surplus, in conformity with the demands of congress. One of the biggest of the propositions of the war department was to sell vast stores by competitive bid ding. This plan failed some time ago because the prices that were offered by packers and others who wanted large lots were so small that the war depart ment cancelled all of the bids. Before that, however, the following sales were made : PACKERS PURCHASE SCRPLC8 To the packers : 3.500,000 pounds of frozen porK for $966,362. The price was 374 to. 29 cents a pound. To the packers: 10,576 boxes (50 pounds to the box) of frozen poultry at To the Hudson River Produce com pany : 10.000 pounds of mutton at 18 cents a pound. To a Baltimore firm : 2,000.000 pounds of' bacon at 30 cents a pound. To another Baltimore firm : 448.000 pounds of bacon. To a Brooklyn firm : Two sales, one was 2.448.000. pounds of bacon which brought 1754,560; the-other was 2.243,000 pounds which broucht $713,860.

SMALL XOTS IISTRIBCTED It was stated that no other sales wefe made to the packers than those included In the list furnished today. It was not ascertainable whether any of the par ties, other than the packers, to whom sales were made, had any business re lations with the packers. The original idea of the war depart ment was that large quantities of sur plus should not be put on the market at one time because such a policy would disturb the market. Large quantities, however; have been recently offer-d through the agencies of municipalities and the postoffice department direct to the consumer, and the effect has been that the market was In fact disturbed. It had, according to the war department statement of yesterday, the effect of causing retailers to lower their prices. To assist in forming new posts of the American legion In Oregon, Chair man E. J.
