the Civil War period. Think Of
sauerkraut at S1S a barrel, against
a normal figure at s4.50" Think
of sauerkraut, indeed! The editor
likes it. Personally, no doubt, he
prefers it at the normal price, but
he likes the grocery trade TO be
prosperous, too. He continues:
One would think present prices
would be wholly beyond a great
many people and that good part
of the population would have to
come down TO the simplest foods.
But the buying goes right on. In
fact, in American history high
prices have always been accom-
panied by prosperity, and the
higher the prices the higher the
prosperity. Conditions existing
during the Civil War period supply
a good example.
Then he takes us behind the
counter, and this is worth attend
ing to:
1t is good for the retail merchant
for prices to take q high level and
to remain upon it until the people
get used to it. Merchants can al
ways get better profits after q
period of high prices is over. Peo-
pie have grown accustomed TO pay
ing a high price, and after the high
wholesale price begins to decline
the retail price can be gradually
lowered without sacrificing the
dealers profit. It is growing hard
er and harder TO get profit con-
tinuoaslu when prices hold a GER
tain level for a period Of months
or years. When there is competi-
ton the tendency is always down,
never up.
It is probably true, only, in say
ing it, the editor must have been
forgetful. The implication Of what
he says is that the retailer can adj
vance prices fast enough to keep or
Increase his margin Of profit on
rising tide, and then, having accus-
toned the eyes Of his customers to
his price legends, he can let his
quotations down slowly, softly and
conservatively, in a manner actual
~ to increase his profits. Nothing
on EARTH" he adds, seems more
elastic than the spending capacity
Of the average buyer" Quite so.
The wonder is where he gets the
money he spends.

The Dollar In Foreign Exchange

The week was characterized in the
main By a narrow movement in rates.
In the face of fresh importations Of
British gold from Canada 70 the
amount of y3O,5OO,0O0 and definite re-
ports Of a new British credit for $780,
600 900 or upward, sterling drafts re-
NAMED practically unchanged. The
sane held true OF exchange on Paris,
which made little response 70 the an
nouncement of a 500, 100000 CONNER
cial credit extended 70 a group Of pri-
vate French commercial and industrial
concerns.
Weakness Of Russian rubles the fore
part Of the week was perhaps the most
conspicuous feature. Exchange on
Petrograd dropped sharply on Tuesday
and went az low as 81, the bottom price
for a period of several months. Sub
sequently there was slight recovery,
although it was not impressive. Spec
ulation in rubles has ceased for the
time. Purchases of this character sent
the rate TO 81 early in September. At
current quotations it requires $50
worth Of rubles to purchase 81 in New
York funds.
II you calculate the cost Of the dol
lar in terms Of foreign money-that -,
as if you were buying dollars with
pounds. marks or francs-its value at
tho close of last week, as compared
with wear ago, would be about as
follows

Foreign trade has attained a pro-
d.g;ous momentum, increasing daily.
One cannot see anything to stop it,
except the end Of the war, which
is not in sight, yet if one believes
in simple arithmetic one is unable
10 believe that this progressive rate
Of increase can be sustained. SO
many things were impossible until
they had happened that people now
are filed with a superstltlous Gre
duIity. One is afraid TO say that
anything is impossible. We could
not imagine lending $1,000, OOO,0OO
t. Europe in the first year of war,
nor s3,OOO,OOO,OOO in the second
wear. It had been easier TO imagine
our own bankruptcy. But having
seen the impossible happen, We try
10 imagine lending $4,000, 1000 in
the third year. What then? Sup
pose it should go into the fourth
wear. Could we imagine lending
s12, 900, 100000?
