Prices are still high. according to

and manufacturers seem to be getting
together 10 direct the finger of ac-
cusation against the retailer" This.
despite the fact that government re-

been siashins and cutting in all di-
rections.
After the War Between the States
prices did not break materially until
the panic OF 1873 That brought on
the postwar industrial readjust me nj
OF that period. This time were soh -
TO get through without a panic as a
result OF the successful functioninE
of the Federal Reserve Bank system.
But the process is going to be slow
unless the hurdles are removed.

mills and factories now are re
