Measured BY recent records and rec
objections of business activity, the pres

A DECLINE N PRICES
REIMBURSEMENT Of Price Levels Neces-
sary to Fix Solid Basis for
Prosperity.
The Proper Level Thought to Be
Reached Dull Season Has
Arrived
Gradual Yielding Has Placed Price
Average Nearly on the Nor.
NAL Plane.

New York, June 1s.-R G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade today
says:
A seasonsof declining prices is never
wholly agreeable to business men
whose stocks on nand are losing part of
their value.
Yet there are times when a return to
the highest prosperity i'll business is
not possible except thru readjustment
of prices. The highest prosperity the
country had ever reached prior to the
panic Mas in 1892 with prices averaging
not quite 70 per cent of their average
in 1860. After Il great depression for
several years the highest point reached
with last years recovery was so per
cent of March l6, but the gra dual yield
ing has already returned the general
average OF prices to u shade less than
10 per cent. practically where il was
With the highest prosperity in 1892.
The output Of iron furnaces June 1
was 2s6.Si6 tons weekly, an increase of
1925 tons, making the yield only l,6sS
tors less than at the highest point ever
reached. Feb. /. Within week ortwo
the labor organizations and the ems
ployerss will be discussing new demands
for higher wa ses and shorter hours,
and many works Will close for lack of
orders.
Prices are gradually changing. an
thracite NJ. $50 and Ptttsburs grey
forge to s1no0, and sales of bars are
reported there a S1.50.
The boot and shoe branch has been
hindered more than any other manu-
facture this year. perhaps BY difference
as to prices. Hides at Chicago, and to
some extent in eastern markets, have
yielded for months past. giving to
dealers in boots and shoes a belief that
the high prices demanded early this
years would not be held. The leather
companies. however. have at times
made large concessions, but in general!
have resisted decline. with the rea-
scuing that the real difficulty is in the
scantiness of buying demand, and it is
urged that wholesale and retail dealers
have on hand too large Stocks taken
when the great advance was in prog
ress.
Reconstruction moves slowly in COT
ton goods, tho a few quotations are
slightly reduced. The wool markets
still indicate a downward tendency.
Silk ard hemp have also gone lower
and tn 6 recent fall in rubber helps new
business.
Wheat has been advanced nearly 5
cents with accounts of extensive in

Horses.

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS.
Jan. 30.-There is good improvement 10
report in the receipts of horses for the
beginning OF the auction sales this week
compared with the same time last week
and a decrease of about 200 compared with
the corresponding time year ago. Nearly
200 head were offered in the auction to-day
and a few of all kinds were represented
but there is a continued scarcity of high
class animals. The arrivals were princl-
pally chunks. drafters and workers, and
the quality was as good as a week ago.
There was a very fair attendance of both
domestic and foreign buyers. and the mar
ket opened with the bidding reasonably ac-
tive. The few first sales. as usual, were
apparently below the expectations of own
ers. but soon the competition became brisk
and the offerings were selling at what
were considered their full market value
The class of coach horses offered sold
around 500 to SIPS per head. heavy horses
at 500 to $50. chunks at $65 to $50 and
Southerners and drivers at $35 to $50. A
good clearance was made at current prices.
