Prices ere SliGinr Back
Toward Normal

Prices of food stuf,s and CLOTH
ing are coming down, but 50
far the price to the man in the
street has not kept pace with
the price to the retailer. The
wholesale price of cattle is very
rear the pre-war rates. But
rol1d steak is still up SO per
cent and 3irioin costs the house
wife atleaSc 81 per cent more
than before the war. So retail
prjces which went up less than
wholesale during the expansion
are coming down slower,
though it is doubtful if they
will ever reach the old level.
Food in general which was
over 1870 per cent above pre-
war prices last year is now q
little over &C per cent above.
Clothing has dropped from ov-
er 250 per cent, wholesale, ass
year to so per cent now, These
+&c'7 are from fgues complied
by the Chemical National Bank
~ Eaw Vorl- |ove~uo7aut and
ether authoritative sources.
It is, however, pointed ont
that most of the price changes
oi the last few months have
been in the direction Of stabiG-
tv and there are Indications
that the rr5ce sv9+au in nauer-
al is recovering its stability.
Building materials, the cost
OF which directly Influences the
home, went up some 240 per
cent and are still upwards of
100 per cent above the figure
Of 1913. Yet it is shown that
the average wholesale price of
II basic commodities is only 8
per cert above the 1918 aver
age.
It is really the disturbance
of the old relations between the
wholesale and retail prices
more than the rise and fall Of
the general level that is so
dangerous to prosperity. And
this disturbance is now appar-
emily beginning to rectify itself.
