CONDITION OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, January 25-RepoTts
of commercial agencies this week in
dicate that the peace-time expansion
of trade continues to wait on prices.
Considerable progress in readjusting
quotations for goods to new condi-
tions has been made. but the indica-
tions seem to be that the movement
will go further before satisfactory
awakening of buying occurs.
Dun's Review says:
For nine weeks running recessions
have oUtnumbered advances In rep
resentative list of wholesale quota
tions. and in retail channels, where
accumulations of merchandise have
resulted partly from unreasonable
temperature over wide area, some
offerings are being made at material
concessions. But while certain mar
kets have been lately turning down
ward, and though efforts to stimulate
demand are increasing, the price re-
action apparently has not yet gone
far enough to promote the anticipated
business revival, and the prevailing
situation, in the broader sense. re-
mains one of diminishing consump-
ton and production. This conditioH
finds plain reflection in the decided
hating of industrial activities, esHe-
cialiy in the leading eastern centers,
and current reports OF idle machinery
and growing unemployment contrast
sharply with the recent great manu-
featuring pressure and universal COM
plant of labor scarcity"
Bradstreet's says. after commenting
on the dullness OF business in various
lines:
The trade situation. however.
though slack, is not without redeem
ing features, and there Is enough sun
light to prevent an unrelievedly
gloomy picture being painted Per-
haps the most encouraging feature
from the standpoint of the long-suf-
fering consumer is the continuance of
the declining tendency shown in food
prices noted In these columns last
week While this tendency Is most
manifest in butter. cheese and eggs
dairy products. in short-and mild
weather and cancellations of our own
and allied government orders may be
chief reasons therefor. there Is little
disposition to question the cause in
view of the agreeable effect"

CHICAGO. January 25.-Sensational

from attempt1 to Judge prices in rela-

pared with a week ago was dowf,
~ to 1s cents, oats off ~ to SIX cents
and provisions SO cents to s2as.
Assertions that food administration
officials recognized the necessity of
lower prices for consumers did much to

however, was temporarily checked by
word that abandonment Of the govern

would not be recommended for Febru-
Ary. Nevertheless signs Of sharp COM
petition from Argentina led afterward
to aggressive selling, which was intensi.
