The articles selected for this practical comparison. are a goods in staple - demand, the prices of which seriously enter into the cost of iving. THE AVERAGE DECREASE OF RETAIL BRICES HAS BEEN 31% The following other facts concerning the price situation will be of interest to many who may have had no opportunity to j e, excepting by the puns of the unthinking, or the untrue and incomplete statements of those who have persistently tried to mislead the public. These facts are, that although retail prices were never so high in proportion as whole- sale, yet retail prices came down materially before wholesale prices were reduced at all; and merchants throughout the United States have followed the poli of immediate ad- justment to every lower price quotation in the market, taking tremendous losses on their stocks on hand, giving the consumer advantage of every price recession made by the manu- facturer; even lowering the price in many cases before We quote current prices in Seattle—and what this store and eve e manufacturer did so. this city has done to lower prices has been done by all the best stores in America.
