ket movements usually fore-shadow
similar changes in business within the
succeeding six months. This straw has
given no indication that the end of
the period of falling prices and de-
Ginning business is in sight.
Industrial stocks still are settling
downwards, the low point of the year
having been reached last week. Rail-
road stocks are strong because their
earning prospects are good under the

Boston Bank Troubles
General apprehension because of
the suspension of six Boston trust

doubtful business ventures. The

with the bursting of the Ponzi bub-

ion that lavish spending by farmers
will stimulate business this fall. Still
cheaper food prices are indicated by
the enormous yields for all crops. The
three major cereal crops give promise
of exceeding last years great yield
by 230,000,000 bushels.
Western farmers say the years
wheat production cost was $2.76 a
bushel, and they are holding out for
So. The market price recently broke
through $500. With world wheat crop
prospects improved, American millers
importing from Canada, export de
mand diminishing, India releasing
wheat for Europe, and the trend of
all prices downward it would seem
that the farmer must bear his share
of deflation. Present prices are based
on the strength of buying demand
not on costs.
Crop Value Shrinks
Thus far the shrinkage in cereal
and cotton crop values from the levels
of few months ago has amounted
to over $500 per capita of rural pop
hlation or more than $1,000 for each
farm. These losses will accumulate as
prices drop further. The average net

profit of the American farmer is est
mated at 1851 weekly. Perhaps this
explains why the proportion of far
mers to all persons engaged in occu
pations fell from 81 per cent in 1926
to 80 per cent in 1920 Improved
methods have prevented the nation
from starving.
City Dweller Gains
The farmers loss will prove the ur-
banite's gain as food costs decrease.
But what he saves on food will be abb
sorbed this winter in high rents and
fuel prices. Coal men have given as
surance that there will be no shortage
this winter, also that prices will re-
main high for the present. Rents, the
last to rise, will be the last to fall.
A large Chicago landlord, has broken
the ice. however, by announcing 10
per cent reduction in rents.
Retail Prices
The anticipated fall retail price cut
ting wave has started. Wholesalers
have charged retailers with blocking
the channels of business by trying to
avoid losses and unload high priced

titled to benefit as prices fall. His
apathy is forcing retailers to make
concessions.

less conditions improve. Tanneries are
now running at about 30 per cent OF

but the charge is made that retailers
are clinging to war prices for shoes.
Steel Prices Weaken
One by one the most firmly in
trenched high price citadels are
crumbling. The most recent is that OF
iron and steel. Prices are being shad-

demand slackens. Prices of the United

20 to 25 per cent under those of in
dependent companies, remain un,
