The first~and most decided evidence of readjustment was shown in textiles and footwear, which are the principal elements of clothing. Steadily advance: ing prices had reached a-point where people either could not or would not pay them. The fact that from 50. to 75 per cent of the textile mills and clothing factories. are {closed estab- lishes the. contention that there has been a pronounced slump, in- business and, incidentally, in general extrava- gance, Food, Prices Also Drop. “While the prices of foodstuffs have not fallen enough to impress the aver- age consumer, there is also a down-) ward trend in this quarter. Corn and oats have had a sharp decline and last week there was a decided, break in ‘the prices of hog. products, ‘pork, lard and ribs. “We do not look for a ‘great and rapid decline in commodities~ gener- ally. We would not cons{der such. decline a good thing. Gradual defla- tion is desirable, but even stabilization ‘around present figures would be prefer- able to.a perpendicular collapse. “The policy of thre federal reserve board in discriminating against non essential industries in the granti ing of credits is beginning to bear, fruit“and the profits of the corporations. pro ducing luxuries are shrinking and no doubt will continue -to shrink, The phonograph, piano, soft drink, candy, and automobile enterprises probably will make a poor showing for the last | half of 1920. Even if yolume of bus-| ines ¢ontinues large, the margin of profit certainly will be much lower than in recent years.” ‘Short Lines Ask $12;500,000, Although the Association 6 Executives r¢commended to ‘the inter. state commerce commission that $' 750,000 of the transportation ,fund be. allocated to smaller roadg that. are not. members ‘of the association for equip- “ment. and $4,700,000 for additions and betterménts, the American Short Line Railroad- association’ is: planning to ask the! government to advance $12,- 500,000 to the short lines for ‘the pur- \ chase of locomotives alone, It is pla ned to ask the commission to ‘purchase the locomotives ‘and allocate them among the roads.
