Washington, May l1,-Opposi-

Dakota republican, member of the
foreign relations committee, deliv-
ering the first salvo. Senator Hitch

Adoption of the resolution prob

elusive right of way beginning to-
morrow and there were no indica-
tions of prolonged debate.
When Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, republican leader, called
up the resolution today and an
nounced that it would be pressed
continually, Senator Underwood of
Alabama, democratic leader. stated
that while most of the democrats
would "resist" the resolution, there
would be no obstruction nor many
speeches.
Senator McCl mber opposed both
senate and house resolutions. Botn,
he declared, would bring dishonor
upon the United States by a deser-
tion of the allies. AS a substitute,
he urged his resolution to restore
commercial relations with Ger

chance of adoption because he said

by senator McCumber, who
charged the executive with CHIEF
responsibility for failure of the

Losses Through Price Cuts
Accepted Calmly i'm Trade
Price Cuts Stimulate
Trade, Company Finds

Price cuts when passed on
from the retailer to the consumer
result in a largely increased VOL
ume of business, in the expert
ence of J. R. Beaton & Co., whole
sale distributors, who ten days
ago announced d reduction of so
per cent in their hosiery prices.
According to a statement made
yesterday by an executive Of the
firm, one New York retailer wig
cut prices to conform to the
wholesale prices, experienced
such a rush Of business that
taxicabs were necessary to rush
new stock from the wholesale
house to the retail store.
That retailers are stimulated
to buying activity by large price
cuts is an opinion also exp1 essed
in the statement, which says that
during the last ten days the COM
pany has booked a larger volume
Of business in dollars and cents
than it had during the entire
four months Of May, June, July
and August.

Continued Heavy
Selling g Depresses
Prices for Wheat

The selling movement In wheat,
which began early in the week, con-
tinued in great volume yesterday and
prices were weak and lower, closing
with a partial rally, but with net losses
of 3M N6Ac for the day. Develop
ments of late have been almost with
out precedent and the trade is COM
pletely bewildered.
a drop of 25M33 cents in the face of
the most active export demand expert
enced so far this season. Export sales
for the week were estimated at from
fifteen to twenty million bushels, and
the buying movement was again in
progress on Saturday. Under ordinary
conditions this demand might have cas-
lily brought about sharp upturn in
values, but the selling movement was Of
tremendous volume.
1T was a source of surprise to the
trade where all the selling came from,
and there were many theories ad-
vanccd Many thought that the pres
sure came from the country and that
financial conditions were one of the
principal reasons, while others be-
licved that Canada was selling it's
wheat here. There were also selling
orders received from Europe, and ex-
porters had little or no trouble in fill
ing orders for contracts in the Chi
cago market for anywhere from one to
four million bushels per day. The
wide advertising given to the price
cutting epidemic was undoubtedly one
of the main bearish factors, but, for
whatever reason, there seemed to be no
limit to the amount of wheat offered
| and prices broke under the great
pressure.
From supply and demand point of
view the wheat market is believed to
contain elements of profound strength,
and some authorities yesterday ad-
vanced the opinion that the technical
position Of the market was becoming
very strong. A break of more than
81 barrel for -four, however, was an
other disturbing factor, and confidence
IN high prices was badly undermined.
In the local cash market No. hard
and No. 2 red wheat were quoted at
$2.49 C. i. f. track New York.
New-York tribune., 1920-09-26
Lower Levels Deemed Neces-
sary to Stimulate Buying;
Retailers Preparing to
Refgure Goods i'm Stock

Instead Of bewailing the drop in
prices of many commodities which
has been accentuated during the
last week, conservative retail ner-
chants, who lesalers and manufacture
ers are beginning to look upon them
as healthful indications Of return
to normal business. In many lines of
trade it is felt that :he price declines
are at or near the bottom and that as
soon as the public begins to feel the
benefit Of the lower prices, healthy
state of trade viii -esult, with COM
modites passir through their usual
channel in greater volume than they
have been during the past four
months.
The PIVOT on which immediate de-
leaders in textile and allied indus
tries, is writing off losses on goods
in stock which have deprecated in
open market value since they were
purchased. Sole losses will have to
be taken in doing this, but most bust
ness men are convinced that it is now
necessary operation if business is
to be stabilized. That a considerable
quantity of goods exists in raw or
semi manufactured state on which
the new price basis has not been
figured, is evidenced by stories buy
ers are telling almost every day. This
applies particularly to some of the
garment trades, where there has been
a hesitancy to efgure textiles on to-
days market.
Retailers declare that any revising
Of prices on their part will be
voluntary and in the nature Of meet
ing competition. 1t is pointed out
that the Lever act prohibited retail
ersf from marking up goods In stocla
in conformity to higher levels of
value that had been reached follow
Ing the purchase Of such goods. Strict
Interpretation Of the Lever act, &C
cording to those with authority to
speak for the retail trade held mark
ups to a percentage above actual cost.
Merchants feel that they would be
justified in figuring their present
selling prices upon an actual cost
basis, rathel than on arket values,
but few Of them ar. willing to take
this stand in relationG with their
customers.
