There are 141 trade associations en-
gagged in the collection and exchange
of price information. the Federal
Trade Commission has announced
following an incomplete survey of
such organisations. Associations
which compiled and distributed sta
tistics other than price data totaled
376. the statement of the commission
said.
'Such a statement is particularly
interesting at this time," the COM
mission said, "in view of the recent
statement of President Harding's un-
employment conference that high
costs, due to malignant combinations
are strangling home building. The in
formation most commonly distribut-
ed by the associations not exchang-
ing price information included statis-
tics of stocks on hand. quantities pro-
duced. orders received and orders on
hand"
