By Associated Press


 Washington, November 6.-Commod- ity prices have indicated such a down ward trend that the department of jutsice is largely content to let the downward trend carry on by its own momentum" according to a statement tonight by Howard Figg, special as- sistant in charge of the work and who has resigned, effective November 15.

 Tt is significant that practically sll items entering into the cost of living which are not controlled by the Lever law have continued to advance in price. Despite this fact the general cost of living is declining because of she marked decrease in the controlled items.
 The commodity market will con tinue to show decline and 1t is cnly with the full cooperation of all busi- ness that this decline may be stopped at a point that will guarantee stability to business interests"
