The Limit Reached.

Washington, Sept. 17.-From
every part of the United States
the evidence is pouring in that
the cost of necessities has reach
ed its limit and that from now on
the decline is to e'expected. Il
All authorities, save a few
doubtful publicists of Wall street,
are agreed that the end is in
sight. A gradual return to nor
NAL is hoped for. since anything
abrupt would carry the menace
of panic. Prices may not return
to where they were five years
ago, but the disheartening IN
ward trend is done with, say the
experts.
Credit for bringing about this
hopeful condition is widely dis
tributed. Official agitation has
had much to do with the average
buyer at retail. The pubIics-
disposition to combat high prices
and not to be intimidatea by
threats of further increases, has
had its sure effect. And the
fight is not finished.
The reports we receive from
all parts of the country are that
prices are beginning to decline, p"
said Attorney General Palmer.
Probably the decline is not snf-
ficient yet to be appreciableI to
the average consumer, but / be-
lieve it soon will be-"
Here are some of the signs of
the marked improvements:
Chicago reports a drop in whde-
sale prices which began with
pork, affected other meats Ind
spread to grains, vegetables ind
fruits.
Shoe manufacturers state that
the prices of shoes will not lad
vance and that by 1920. or (arl-
Ter, the decline will begin.
| Wholesale dealers in shoesand
clothing in New York are COOP
Grating with the fair price som-
mittee to reduce to its minimum
the margin of profit on these ne
cessities.
| Holdings Of dry goods are be.
ing released and wholesale pfces
are already affected.
Pig iron, the price of which is
especially significant, is s48(
cheaper per ton than a year ago
| Investigation everywhere AaC
the effect of frightening spscu
lators, and hording on a large
scale has sharply fallen off.
| The turn Of affairs abroad
where declines in prices are al
ready we'll established, will have
an increasing effect on Ameri
can markets.
Attorney General Palmer re
cognizes the Importance of iht
public state of mind in relation
to the cost of living. He watn'
against the alarmist propaganda
intended to keep prices up by In
couraging purchases at this tim,
for future needs.
l Never were caution and frtg
atty more necessary than today
Economists are united in tn
opinion that much depends Iol
