Now York, Nov. 29-Kalling micos have lopped off moro than $20,000, 000,000 vnluo from tho high prices of American farm products, munu f ne tur ed commodities and stocks rul ing earlier this year, according to figures compiled hore Saturday night. The greater part of this lobs-at least two-thirds or more-has fallen upon tho American farmer. Twenty billions of dollars-or six times tho cost of the Amerncan Civil War-has vanished in thin air. That much donation has been ac complished since the American bank ers have tightened up on credit. And the deflation is still continuing in some commodities, us the dally mar ket page reports testify. The biggest loss sustained by the American farmer has been on his corn crop. Tho Indicated corn crop amounts to 3,200,000,000 bushels, md tho price has fallen from $2 a bushel this year to around 64 couts. That moans a four-btlllon dollar "deflation." Tho American farmer's next big gest loss on his 1920 crop has boon on cotton. The indicated crop ls 12, 7S3.000 bales, and cotton has drop ped in price $ 1 3f> a bale,which means that tho Southern States will have to stand a loss of $1.725,000,000 from expected salo price. The third biggest deflation in the crops has been in wheat valwfi. The indicated crop is 701,000,000 bush els. Since July 15 wheat has dropped from $2.71 a bushel to $1.52. Thus tho loss has been 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 fabe a loss of $1, 430,000,000. The sugar crop there is estimated at 4,000.000 tons, and the price of sugar has f?llen 16 cents a pound this year, or $358 a ton.'Bhi as yet there has been little deflation: in the United States :n tho pricevofi candy and baking products. Falling prices in corn, wheat, Cot ton, sugar and oats have knocked iit least ;$g|OOu,fy00701)0 'from "th?^^WH? which faimers expected to obtain. There has been a heavy decline in market prices of hogs, cattle and sheep, while hay, tobacco, potatooB, rice, fruits and other farm products oro selling at prices far below the high levels of 1920. Hundreds of mil lions of dollars* value has been wiped out In the hog market alone. Prob ably a sum equal to the loss sustain ed in whent. corn, cotton, oats and sugar has been suffered in the other farm products. While hogs, cattle and sheep have dropped to record low prices |for 1920. 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 tipon the consumers at prices which would moro than cover the cost of their meats at the time of purchasing.
