The index figure of prices for the month was 225, against 242 in September and 223 in October, 1919.

Washington, Nov. 18.?Indications here now are that from the very moment that the gongs sound in the L 1 ! iiuuse tutu senate uu uic icamciubling of congress until the extra session has passed into history some time in the summer the eyes of the agricultural world will center upon two Southerners?Senator E D Smith of South Carolina, ranking Democrat on the senate committee on agriculture, and Gordon Lee of Georgia, holding a similar position in the house. With the defeat for renomination of Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma, which removes him from congress after March 4, Senator Smith will become first man or ranking Democrat on this committee on the senate side of the capitol. It will be the South Carolina senator who will take care of the minority or Democratic interests as they shall come up from time to time. Congressman Lee, who has been in the house many years, worked his way up to the position which he now holds?ranking member on the house agricultural committee?by years of hard and faithful work, and just as Senator Smith will protect the interest of the Southern people on the senate side, so will Mr. Lee be on guard in the house. One of the big problems that will face these committees will be the amendments to present laws providing that a more liberal credit system shall be brought about. Legislation will also be put through to bring about a scientfic and adequate marketing system calculated to stabliize the markets for the farmers ind at the same time to relieve the consumer of excessive prices. The farm loan act will undoubtedly ae broadened and improved and a plan of personal credit authorized. The result of this would be to enible the man of small means to get i start in the farming industry, in live stock raising or in some other branch of agriculture. There is no doubt of the fact that the tariff will be revised to meet the needs of the farmer and to protect him against the 'invasion of cheap wheat from Canada, cheap corn from Argentina, cheap products from Asia and other competition which is proving ruinous to the farming interests generally. With these three propositions given attention, consideration will then be directed in all probahilitv toward a series of matters of interests to agriculture, including better rural schools, good roads and a number of other matters. With the population leaving the farms and drifting to the cities, the nation is in a'bad way unless'something can be done to cause more production. The latter will depend upon the working out of a comprehensive marketing system, which will be of value not alone to the . farmer, but also to the consumer. Elimination of the middleman with his profits is the goal to which attention will be directed. ' While it is likely that efforts will be made when these matters com,e up to array city against country, it is believed that it will be shown that the interests of both the producer and the consumer are intimateI ly connected in these scientific marketing plans. ^ Another big question will be what to do with the meat packers and to determine whether or not they are in a combine to keep up the prices of meat products while the cattle grower maintains that he is receiving starvation returns for his stuff. It is probable that many of the defects which now confront the people will be overcome when amendments are offered and passed regarding the federal reserve system.

C'alder of New York, chairman of the senate committee on reconstruction, in a telegram sent tonight to David F. Houston, secretary of the treasury. The telegram followed a i hearing today by th ecommittee on \ the housing situation in this section. ( The telegram sent by senator Cal- / der follows: "Bankers and business men through central and southern sectioni declare commercial channels congested with unprecedented crops of cotton, wheat, animal production and so forth and financial tension extreme.

Senator Calder, in a statement made during the concluding session tonight of the hearing here, declared that it was necessary to revive the war finance corporation to prevent stagnation of business and consequent unemployment of labor.
