1921 PRICE TENDENCY
LOWER THAN LAST YEAR

New fall goods are beginning to
appear in the store windows OF Au-
gusta merchants, forecasting the
exit of summer and the entry of
cooler weather. A comparison of the
prices of these goods and those
found in the same windows a year
ago shows a steadily increasing value
of the dollar bill. The lowly dollar
of 1919 and 1920 seems to have
grown considerable, a favorable sign
that after the. conditions promulgat~
ed by the war are slowly and surely
feeling out and seeking a normal
level.
Although a certain unstahleness
in conditions is being felt through
out the country, which more or less
influences trade conditions in Au-
gusta, yet an optimistic spirit is be-
ing manifested here toward q fairly
good fall business. During the past
month a considerable slump has
been felt naturally in most lines Of
business but with the advent of fall
nearly every business enterprise in
the city is brushing away the Au-
gust cobwebs and preparing for a
fairly prosperous fall and winter.
Grocery stores at this time feel more
or less a lessening in trade due to
ripening summer gardens, yet even
here trade seems to be slowly gain
ing ground.
More settled prices are noticeable.
In fact, the dollar purchases more
now than it did year ago sand that
tendency is increasing. so it seems.
A comparison of prices today and
year ago would show surprising
slumps in some articles, less in 9TH
ers and still less in others, but as
whole the dollar now brings a few
more pounds in weight, a warmer
weave in cloth, a firmer texture to
gloves or stockings and a stauncher
quality to footwear.
