DisaKreeing with calamnity-howl-
ers, former Senator Chauncey M.
Depew. and one OF the noted financial
authorities OF the country, declared
today that there will be no panic and
that the cost OF living is coming
down gradually.
The country Is on too sound
money basis for a panic" says the
Senator. who is spending the early
fall at Briarcliffe. N. Y. He is eighty
six years old.
The cost of living will come down
gradually. he also took occasion to
point out, but ut will take time.
II remember" he continued, when
the civil war closed. That was in
1865. But the cost of living did not
come down to where IT belonged until
1873. Yes. after the panic OF 1873.
'The labor situation is adjusting
itself. read somewhere that there
were fewer strikes in the past year
than ever before. The labor stu
alton is getting better all the time.
This is because labor has come to
understand that IT must work with
capital"
The Senator declared that labor has
much better opportunities and is bet
ter treated in America than anywhere.

and agriculture. Since August. 10l9.

HIGH COST of4IyINC
HITS STOCK EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The
high cost of living. which has
been one of the favorite topics
in civic forums, legislative halls
and debating societies since the
late war, yesterday hit the MEM
bers of the stock exchange. who
received ballots to vote on a pro-
posal to increase the member
ship dues from $500 per year to
$1,000.
President Remick. of the ex-
change, in imparting this sad
news to the members, pointed
out that the tremendous growth
OF the exchange, the consequent
expansion of the building and
the increased wages of employees
necessitated this step, which
has been approached with great
reluctance and approved after
long consideration"

PRODUCERS MAKING CHOICE.

Generally speaking, reports from
centers of manufacture and sale indi-
cate that most producers of goods
have a choice to make. The business
reaction is not, however, spread about
evenly; it would be surprising IL II
was, for there are shortages Of goods
In some lines, goods of an essential
character, the demand for which
initiates against substantial price de-
clines for some time to come. But
the great task of industry at present
iis to find a price basis at which the
public will abandon it's strike"
against purchases, and the latest de-
velopments show that the hesitant,
hoping against hope variety OF price
shading is rapidly being supplanted
by genuine effort to break away
from the inflated business structure
of 1919. From what may be gathered
in financial and business circles, the
heads of corporations, large and
small, are trying to determine what
the situation will be next spring, be-
lieving that readjustments of prices
and manufacturing schedules during
the winter will produce a stabilized
basis for doing business.

PRICE REDUCTION
REVEALS THE TREND
Business Is Captivating to Attl-

One important result Of last weeks
SHARP reduction OF wholesale and re-

business. The manufacturer ana
wholesaler who elung through 1he

FORD SPEAKS FRANKLY.

Mr. Ford. In lowering the price OF
his car, said frankly that materials
bought at high levels would show a
loss until they were worked up. There
are scores and hundreds OF manufac-
turers in the. same situation as Mr.
Ford. And whether or not they be-
lieve that the automobile maker took
too drastic a step in his short cut to
normal Business conditions. the fact
remains that they, like him, have one
of two choices to make. Either they
can maintain listed quotations, see
production dull and overhead charges
rise, or they can cut prices, work to
stimulate sales and be content with
moderate profts-perhaps no profits
at all for a time-and witness a grad
ual reduction OF costs as trade ex-
pands again.

two motor car companies OF 10, 20,
and even AS per cent in offerings or

marking down OF one-third OF old quo

company to show that consumers
were seeking something more far
reaching than casual declines of
prices. Now that the price movement
IL clearly defined, after being in

he would have submitted bids.
II can not see that we can take any
action, because the contract has been
