UNITED STATES PRODUCE.
GAUGING THE INCREASE. According to the "Wall Street Journal," the farm products .of the United States in 1909,' which were valued at farm prices at «C1,787,U00,U00, we're retailed, at ,£2,619,800,000, or 4Gi per cent, additional. "Of course (says an exchange) the extra ,£832,50»,000 looks large, but we are inclined to think that if farm produets can be retailed at anything like 46 per cent, on the price at the point of production the outcome is satisfactory. The addition includes conveyance to market, cost of wholesale and retail establishments, and to some extent of manufacture. We should have thought that .the cost of placing those farm products before consumers would have been nearer 66 per cent. , "Those estimates of U.S. farm produce have increased vastly of late years. In ISS9 these iproducts were valued at ,£502,:;JO,OOO. In 1599 ,£902,000,000, and last year at c£1,757,000,000. But the rise in prices has had a good deal to do with the increase. Though the quantities produced have grown a great deal; prices, especially at farm values, have increased much faster." . •' . ,
