ALL PRICES ARE
NOW DECLINING
Valuations Put on Imports are an
Indication Of the Sharp Drop
Nearly all Goods Less

After Congress gets through peg
ging" prices for the various interests
now clamoring for protection at
Washington, the cost of living will
still be declining in all other parts of
the world and production costs will
likewise be dropping for Uncle Sans
trade competitors, who will have this
advantage in addition to that of the
present rate of exchange.
That the price toboggan is still in
operation in every part of the world
and in a very large share of the arti-

shown in statement issued yesterday

Whole World Affected.

These official figures of the average
monthly import price of the principal
articles entering the country are, says
the banks statement, an especially
valuable index of world prices. The
laws of the United States, which are
unique in this respect, require per-
sons in foreign countries who are ex-
porting merchandise to the United
States TO state in writing and under
oath before Consul of the United
States the quantity and value of the
articles being sent to the United
States, or in case of the absence of
such statements the Consul is required
to report the shipment and state the
value per quantity in the wholesale
markets of the country or city from
which the merchandise is sent.
These statements, which become the
basis of the official valuation Of the
merchandise imported, are distinctly
the prices in the country of production
or expectation to the United States,
and thus present an exceptionally ac-
curate picture of world prices from
month to month.
These valuations, add the banks
statement, show the broad world aver
age price per unit Of quantity in the
various articles in question. rather
than that for any single country. The
rubber imported, for example, repre-
sents the products Of the forests Of
Brazil. the plantation Of the Orient,
and the jungles Of the Co~~ Valley.
