Gary of the United States Steel corporation, may Precipttate a second country wide Wave of price cutting, it was be Ueved here today. “At least, cheaper steel wil! lend | to bring down prices to the con Sumer of scores of commodities of every day use,” said Ethelbert u government price expert, to- day: “It may be some weeks before the buying public will experience bene- fits, but the result i certain if lower steel prices are maintained.” One result which the steel price cut already has brought was a gen- ral 10 per cent reduction in the price of farm machinery. Cheaper farm machinery means a larger mar- gin for 6,500,000 farm owners, who t will thus be encouraged in the di rection of increased production Larger food production means lower Prices to the consumer.
