NEW PURCHASING
IN SMALLER VOLUME
Commercial Agencies Report a
More Conservative Spirit.

The commercial agencies see a fur
Their reduction in new business, as the
recent conservatism in buying has
tended to lessen orders. This implies,
il is said, no lack Of confidence or Of
purchasing power, but is rather a re-
turn TO more orderly fashion of con-
Quoting business with due regard to
the fact that the possibility of peace
and price readjustment must be taken
into account.
"Dun's Review" says: Continuing
remarkably prosperous. business has
gained In wholesome characteristics
through the recent cessation of price
advances in certain commodities. That
ultimately point would be reached at
which buying would slacken was OBJ
Vious. Evidences of abatement are by
no means general, and nothing indi-
Gates diminished purchasing power, vet
in branches where forward require
ments are already largely provided for
some hesitation, with shrinkage in new
orders. is natural.
"Commercial failures this week in
the United States are 3l4, against 348
last week, 1856 the preceding week and
3S5 the corresponding week last year.
OF these III were in the East, S5 South
6e West and as in the Pacific States,
and So reported liabilities Of $4,000 or
more, against l05 last week.
"Bradstreet's" has the following:
"Whilc the country's industries con-
tinue to operate at high speed. there
are numerous evidences OF a reaction
toward conservatism in buying, the
trend thus displayed suggesting that.
for the time being at least, new bust
ness has undergone a slight pairing
down and that buying power has been
temporarily satiated or repressed in or
der 20 permit of breathing spell.
Optimism as TO the future is as
strong AS ever, but persistent peace
talk, high prices, previous feverish
buying, some of il speculative, uncer
tainty about crops, the Presidential
nominations and the effects OF unset
tied weather, which until very recently
held retail trade in leash, are inhu-
ences that naturally tend to temper
fresh Developments"
