UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, June 26.-There
is little prospect of decline in food
and clothing prices this year and in
creased exports may actually cause
an advance, Royal Meeker, commits
sioner of labor statistics, said today.
There can be no decline in prices
until there is decrease of currency
in circulation, or an increase in the
goods exchanged for currency, Meek
er said
Currency is being Debated slowly
with the paying off of debts. but this
can scarcely affect prices this year.
There is also no possibility of an in
crease in quantities of vital necessi-
ties of life being produced at this sea
son. and generally prospects are that
food and cotton crops will be below
normal this year.
"In as much as the food budget
constitutes about forty per cent of the
entire budget of the average family,
there can scarcely be an appreciable
lowering in the level of prices until
the cost of food comes down"
