THE DROP IN PRICES.

A DISPLAY OF figures is not need
ed to prove that there has been a
rapid ebbing Of the industrial tide,
marked dropping of prices dur
ing the past few months. The
whole business world knows it,
has felt it. Prices have dropped
and, rs il ever the case when
prices are dropping, the snap has
gone ont "f business. Buyers are
not anxious TO buy, productions
are curtailetl. prices and business
shrink, do not expand. 1t is this
the whole business world knows,
and d,'es not have to look at any
table of figures TO know, for il
feels. But the table of index mum =.
bers, giving the movement of
prices for quarterly periods, and
published herewith, is needed to
measure the extent Of the drop of
prices that all men are cogniznnt
Ut hut that no man can tell the en-
tent of, in All understandable way,
without the aid Of such u
table. And by reference to this
table II will he seen that the gen.
