FISHER PREDICTS
 DROP IN PRICES
 ASCERTAIN SOON
Yale Professor Says Apex Has Now Been Reached
 in United States.

The upward trend of prices has nearly reached its height, says Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale, political eco- nomist, whose plan for stabilizing the dollar is the subject of investigation by every civilized government in an article in the New York Evening Sun.
 ''The trend of prices has been up- ward since 1896, especially rapidly since the word war began, and it has not ceased since the armistice," said Prof. Fisher. 'tAt the. time of the armistice, prices were double those of 1913. They are now two and a half times what they were in 1913 Be- tween the armistice and the present time, then, they have increased 50 per cent.
 We have been expecting the price | level to drop since the armistice. I think l was the first person to say l that prices would rise instead of fall after that time. I think, though, tha: soon there will be a definite drop There has been a wide advertis> ment of the department store drops which followed the drop in some of I the wholesale prices, but the public | has an exaggerated idea of the drop, l which has so far been confined to a I few commodities.
 "Dunn's Index Number for May | was slightly higher than for the first of April, and Gibson's Weekly Num- | Der, which is confined to foods, is slightly higher May than it was | May 1.
 "The Index Number of the United | States Bureau of Labor Statistics on retail prices of foods was for AprI
 1-2 per cent. higher than for March, the advance being largely due | to the great increase in the price ot potatoes.
 l '"The statistics have not, there fore, shown any general fall, but the | inflated buying power, which has been the chief reason for advancing prices and the secret of the mystery of the high cost of living. l '"This price recession which is be. ginning may be said to mark a crisi. l though it does not sewn likely thn it will imply a panic.
 "A crisis has been defined by
 Juglar the continuation of rising l prices. It will doubtless bring abou | some business distress and increase
 the rate of bankruptcies, which ha.
 been for several years abnormall, low.
 Japan already has reached he1
 continuation of prices with a pric, | level three and a quarter times wha
 it was before the war. In Eng1ans
 also there has been a slight reces
 sion, due to her determined attemp | to deflate.
 l What may follow this impending | recession in this country will depend ] very largely upon the policy of ou Federal Reserve Board, as well as up | on the policy of European govern | ments. The whole world is suffer l ing from imitation of money an,
 credits. This cannot go on foreve
 without disaster, but the disaster cal be put off by more inflation''

EMBARGO PUT
 ON N. H. ROAD

New Haven, May 27-It was an- nounced by officials of the New Ha- ven road this morning that an em- bargo has been placed upon freight shipments on the road, and went in- to effect today. The placing of the embargo on the shipments is the re- suit of the great accumulation of freight caused by the strike and be cause of the labor troubles in the yards of the company. With the end of the railroad strike an effort was made to relieve the congestion on the road, and as result great quanti- ties of freight were rushed to points over the road. The shortage of labor at the yards has caused a tie-up of freight through the inability to han dle the vast amount of freight.
 The embargo has been placed on all freight cars to be shipped west through the Harlem river junction and Oak Point, where the congestion of freight and labor trouble is in 8 worse condition than at any point or the road It was stated that this em- bargo will undoubtedly remain on the freight cars for over a week, al
