CAUTION OF PUBLIC:
FORCES PRICES DOWN
Federal Reserve Board Says Business
Shows Signs Of Greater
Stability.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2.-Refusal
of the public to pay excessive
prices" caused a continuation Of the
downward trend Of values in August,
the federal reserve board declared in
its monthly review of business con-
ditions, just issued. The board added
that the reaction" against high
prices had been accompanied by a
general slowing up of demand in the
wholesale field and by slight evidence
of unemployment in some sections.
The boards view of the nations
business generally was more optim-
istic than recent expressions. and in
dicated an expectation of more sta
bility in industry and commerce.
While the review mentioned signs Of
conclusion of the transition period.
it countered with the statement that
progress in that direction is slow
''and much still remains to be done"
before the country can be said to be
on stable basis. The hopeful asser-
ton was made, however, that the
readjustment had continued consist
emily.
'In the agricultural regions" the
review declared. "the promising crop
prospects have given a much more
hopeful turn to affairs, and have
tended to minimize broader questions
of price adjustment. In those parts
Of the country the paramount idea
is production on large scale. accom-
panied by improvement of transpOr-
tation and labor conditions.
Where the processes of distribut-
ing and financing are more impor-
tant the prospect for improvement is
less immediate, although funda-
mental conditions are slowly improv-
ing and the underlying business sit
uation is usually described as sound"
The board said there was a gen.
eral attitude of caution ON the part
of middlemen and jobbers. They are
confronted with a continued refusal
of retailers, in most sections. to re-
plenish their stocks of most COM
modities because of the belief that
prices soon will be more stable.

democratic State Headquarters.
Publicity Dept Lyon Building,
Seattle, August 31st.)
At the democratic state headquar-
ters it was stated today that there is
no difficulty in determining whether
or not republican forces In the State
of Washington are raising large
sum of money with which to carry
this state. There is evidence of it
everywhere. BY way of illustration,
In Tacoma a few days ago, a letter
was sent to O selected list OF Pierce
county names, by certain prominent
republicans representing certain IN
terests, which letter reads as fol-
lows:
II am making 2. last appeal for
funds for the election Of 6sfipubli-
can President and Congress. II you,
as q business man, do not person
ally appreciate the necessity of q
return to the constitution, a revi-
sion of our outrageous federal taxa
tion, and the relief Of business from
the throttling burdens placed upon
It during the last four years, I am
not going to offer any argument.
Seattle has raised sixty thousand
dollars of its sixty-five thousand
dollar allotment. Practically every
county has come through several
having er-subscribed. In Pierce
county, we have raised only third
of our twenty thousand dollars. A
number of Seattle business men DO
mated one thousand dollars each. In
Tacoma, we are asking for very mod
est contributions. Will you not mail
me your check for five hundred dol
lars. that VIC may start an educational
campaign"
These letters bore the names of
Herbert F. Alexander, president Of
the Pacific Steamship Co., Chester
Thorne. banker. Jos. Carman, State
Senator Ralph Metcalf, Henry Rhodes,
John s. Baker, banker and cap
italist. Either these representations
to secure contributions were false,
or the republican forces in the state
already have in hand campaign
fund of quarter of million dollars
