BILLIONS OK HOLLAHS VANISH. Farmers of Country Bear Greater Tart of Dellntion Losses. Now York, Nov. 29-Falling prices have lopped off moro than $20.000, 0 00,000 value from the high prices of American farm products, manu factured commodities and stocks rul ing earlier this year, according to figures compiled hore Saturday night. Tho greater part of this loss-at least two-thirds or more-has fallen upon the American farmer. Twenty billiou3 of dollars-or six times tho cost of the Amorncan Civil War-has vanished in thin air. That much deflation has been ac complished since the American bank ers have tightened^up on credit. And tho deflation is still continuing in some commodities, as tho daily mar ket pago reports testify. The biggest loss sustained by the American farmer has been on his corn crop. Tho indicated corn crop amounts to 3,20.0,000,000 bushels, and the price has fallen from $2 a bushel this year to around 64 cents. That moans a four-billion dollar "deflation." The American farmer's next big gest loss on his 1920 crop has been on cotton. The indicated crop is 12, 783,000 bales, and cotton has drop ped in price $135 a bale,which means that the Southern States will have to stand a loss of $ 1.72f),000,000 from expected salo price. Tho third biggest deflation in the crops has been in wheat vahujt. The indicated crop is 751,000,000 bush els. Since July 15 wheat 1ms dropped from $2.74 a bushel to $1.52. Thus the loss bay boen around $803,000,-: 000. The price of bread in New York was reduced one cent a loaf Satur day. The Cuban sugar producers have been compelled to take a loss of $1, 430,000,000. The sugnr crop there is estimated at 4,000.000 tons, and the price of sugar has fallen 16 cents p. pound this year, or $358 a ton.TiUt as yet there ha.s boon little deflation in the United States :n the prlce^ ofc candy and baking products. >' ."v, Falling prices in corn, wheat, cot-, ton, sugar and oats have Jinocked kt, .least ;)g??O.QfttO0,01)0 from >tne%r38?$ which faimers expected to obtain. Thero has been a heavy decline In market prices of hogs, cnttle and sheep, while hay, tobacco, potatoes, rice, fruits and other farm products ore selling at prices far below tho high levels of 1920. Hundreds of mil lions of dollars' value has been wiped out In tho bog market alone. Prob ably B sum equal to the loss sustain ed in wheat, corn, cotton, oats and sugar has been suffered in the other farm products. While hogs, catlin nnd sheep have dropped to record low prices |for 1 920. the price of these meats at the butcher shops has shown but slight decrease. Packers have not lowered their prices in ratio to the drop In the live stock markets, but have sought to unload their holdings upon the consumers at prices which would moro than cover the cost of their meats at the tinto of purchasing.
