Is the Buying Strike" Over?

There are signs that the famous
buy Ing strike" which the American
public staged this last spring and sum
mer is over.
The buying strike" was universal
all over the country and the result was
ovorproduction in many articles and a
consequent drop in prices Of from Is TO
50 per cent. Sugar and clothing are
conspicuous examples, although there
are many other cases.
Having brought goods down consid
erably the public is now discovering
that it needs many things. The cold
weather is approaching. Also the gift
giving holidays. All these things have
their psychological effect and the cities
are reporting little business, No doubt
this has its reflection in the rural sec
tons
We don't think that the people of this
country want disorderly dehation with
the panic that surely must follow such
deiation, We DO think they will take
part in more buying Of goods, provid-

better than those carelessly bred. and
that mutton and pork quality and pre-
