no quotations for ducks eggs except
in the spring. Since three ducks eggs
weigh about the same as four hens

white eggs are preferred and usually

ARE PRICE ADVANCES cHEckED7

Sioux City Journal-People who fo,,
sixteen months have hoped to go 10
bed with high prices going upward,
who have suffered from the nightmare
OF nigh prices while they slept, but
VINO expected to find these prices col
lapsed in the morning have become
Stolcs concerning the expected better
ment OF conditions They are begin
nlng 10 understand that the decline
VIII come gradually and will extend
over long period of time. Trade and
business conditions last week Justify
the conclusion that a period of reac-
ton Is about to set in There was
no actual recession in prices as a
whole, but there was a pronounced
tendency to limit both wholesale and
retail purchases to actual require
mentS, This policy means that buyers
are not willing to purchase at present
high prices for future sales. If there
was not a general fear of a decline
they would invest at current prices
and sell at advanced ones.
The policy of buying only for i'm
mediate demands resulted in a reduc.
ton OF the volume of both retail and
wholesale trade. Inclement weather
and the fact that this is the period Of
transition from winter to spring trade
were aggravating influences in the
reduction of trade volume, but at bot
tom the cause was constitutional rath-
er than symphonic. The trade re-
strictiOn tendency is not sporadic. 1t
has been in evidence for more than
fortnight. 1t had its inception in
the decline of eXtravagances which
had held people in its grip. Working
men seemed at once to become so
bered They realized with a start
that the days of high wages and con-
stant employment might not last, and
they began retrenchment which was
Immediately reflected in the volume
of trade The tendency to economic
has spread rapidly during the last
three or four weeks and commodities
at lower prices are showing an in
crease in volume of sales over those
of high prices. High price levels will
be maintained so long as the demand
for high priced commodities holds up.
The volume of shoes last week was
as great as for the corresponding
period of January, but the sales were
largely of lower priced goods, show.
ing that the tendency of trade is to
buy more, but lower priced shoes.
Industry suffers from low efficiency
and the total output is below what 1t
should be in consequence. But in
some lines, notably steel, the reports
show a slight increase in output per
man. The trend of labor towards
pacific settlement of industrial dis
putes. the return of the railroads 10
private ownership and the prepara-
ton for spring building are strong cur
rents in an otherwise not very encour-
aging sea of industrial conditions.
