EXPECT RETAIL PRICES
TO DECLINE IN WINTER
Federal Reserve Board Says In
dications Point to q Down

,tcd Press to Every Even ing

ny Associated Press to Every Evening
Washington. Aug. Pr etail prices in
the opinion of the Federal Reserve Board
will decline slightly during the fall and
winter and will slump next spring to still
lower levels.
Summarizing recent changes in prices
the board says:
Saving afforded by manufacturers
through lesscned cost II materials and In
creased efficiency of labor must eventually
be reflected in downward movement of
retail prices"
The board thinks, however, that in
some lines higher prices are probable,
"due to the fact that purchases for the
autumn and winter trade have already
been contracted for at the old level of
prices"
Changes In the prices of raw materials
which were reported TO have been sharp
during the past few weeks will not show
their effect, according to the board, In
retail prices until early next spring. The
board stated that an important down.
ward tendency" in prices of all COM
modities except food has been evidenced
throughout the country, reduction in
prices Of raw products having been
especially marked This general lowering
of the price level il is believed, indicates
a probable drop IN food prices during
coming months.
