While the course OF prices will

airy will be smaller than for
years. the coming OF postwar re-
adjustment holds for the United
States no prospect OF Hpancial
panic. declares the monthly report
on business conditions Of the Cham
ber Of Commerce OF the United
States. made public last week by
Archer Wall Douglas. chairman of
the committee on statistics.
I'VE are over the top and on
the down grade In most phases of
industrial and commercial life,.
says the report. although there
still continue to be exceptions to
this general statement.
Demand In all lines is slacken-
ing.
Manufacturing and mining are
meeting the situation, in the usual
fashion, by running on reduced
time or shutting down altogether.
This has already. meant, in some
cases. reduced wages Just now
the need of the country seems to
be for more consumption rather
than more production.
Talk OF stabilizing prices, SO as
to save the situation, no longer in
terests any one save a few hopeless
theorists. The laws of supply and
demand will, In time, regulate mat
ters.
"The entire commercial world Is
settling it's house in order nv "a
ducing commitments, collecting out
standing accounts. and bringing
down stocks of merchandise to the
requirements of reduced demand.
And It is all being done soberly
and advisedly. All are awaiting
that psychological time, the first of
the year, when the current Of events
and the general trend shall be more
readily discerned and more easily
Interpreted. Meanwhile. much def
mite action is being postponed. Mer-
chandise stocks In general will then
be far less than for several years"
