tDe la prensa de Nueva York;


Ciertos hombres de negocios acaban
de expresar en- algunas ciudades de los
Estados Unidos que la creencia general
es que va los precios de los articulos al
canzaron su maximum y que ahora la cur
va viene en- descenso; declaration que
es posterior al anuncio por Henry Ford
de la misma situaci6n y la rebaja de
los precios del algod6n por la "'Amos
queag Manufacturing Company
Tras ell senior Ford, vino ell anuncio de
la H H Franklin Manufacturing Comp
any'' de haber hecho una rebaja en- ell
precio de los AUTOMOBILES de un II un
81 por ciento.
otras dos compafias, Sears, Roebuck
and Montgomery Ward CO.. anuncia-
ron tambi6n reducciones substanciales
en- varias clases de mercancias; por elem
plo, vestidos zapatos para mujeres y
hombres, n:uebles y algunos alimentos.
Como podra ell consumidor benefciar-
raj, es materia de concentrates; pero es
10 cierto que Sc ira beneficiando gra-
dualmente y que no Sc puede contar de
antemano que la reduction en- los pre-
clos por mayor llegue directamente has
ia ell
No obstante, en- materia de calzado,
vestidos muchas manufactures de tex
tiles, tendra primero ell benefcio que en-
muchas otras, pero es de observarse que
en- muchas ciudades Sc ha notado una re-
duccion considerable, en- los precios de
muchos articulos, causa de que ell pu-
blico Sc ha concretado, o por 10 m3nos
ha demostrado una tendencia visible
culos que no sean de necesidad urgente
a abstenerse de comprar aquellos arti-
para la familia.
La opinion general es que en- Ell he
cho, esta ha sido la causa principal de
esas reducciones, en- vista del decreci-
miento voluntario de la demanda por
parte de la poblaci6n. Esto ha deter
minado, naturalmente, que los detalla-
dores hayan hecho menos compras los
manufacturers, tai punto que estos
han venido sintiendo algo parecido al
estancamiento de la demanda Este pro
cedimiento, seguido en- algunas ciudades
del pals, esta dando magnifcos resulta-
dos para hacer bajar "a fortiori'' Ell
costo de la vida.
De aqui ha resultado que grandes can
tidades de ncercancias estan almacena-
das en- los depositos de los manufacture
ros, los cuales necesitan mas locales pa
ra almacenaje, vender a precios memo
res para darle salida los productos.
Sc cita ell case de un molino en- Nueva
Inglaterra que ha tenido que reducir la
semana tres dias de trabajo en- vista
del paro Observable en- la demanda.

boys, Isaac Smith of Heywood's family
and Ell Weston were left in charge

For the Starving Victims OF Late War

There will be a special Offering at
the Federated church next Sunday
morning in behalf of the Literary Dl-
gest Child Feeding Fund for the re
lief of the unfortunate children III
Central and South eastern Europe who
were victims of the World War. Funds
are especially needed for this cause,
started by the Literary Digest with
the sum of $4,000 to feed and clothe
2500 children this winter. The let
ters of Herbert Hoover and Presidents
Elect Harding to the Literary Digest
touch particularly upon the situation
"Three and a half million children
call to the heart and resources OF
America for these daily supplies, not
available in their own countries, that
are vital to their survival and to the
rebuilding Of their physical Well-be-
ing"
Our resources will be exhausted
in January. We must not step aside
and permit the spectre of death, in the
form of hunger and cold haunt these
helpless ones this winter, yet we can
not continue without help. This is
charge on the American heart, and
America can not fail in her solieitude
for these little ones. Twenty-three mil
lion dollars must be raised without
DELAY. and remembering the new heart
YOU put into the Commission for Re
lief in Belgium in the dark hours OF
1916. | come to you again.
