Food price drops hardly shift the average family budget
Commissioner Ethelbert Stewart notes that small declines in specific foods have minimal impact on the typical household. He cites bread milk flour sugar and meat as examples, saying even a cent change yields only a few dollars yearly for a family of five, while overall living costs rise or fall with broader price trends.

Ruling Saves Citrus Growers Thousands in Tariff Suspension
The Interstate Commerce Commission suspended reconsigning rules in proposed rail tariffs, a move praised by A B E Lang of Queen Colony Fruit Exchange and Corona shippers. A permanent change before March 31 1921 is likely, with revisions to diversion rules to favor shippers. If reconsignment is lost, local rates could rise and buyers may lower prices as markets tighten.
