Lumber Prices Reduced
Publicity in Yellow Pine Liti-
CATION a Factor

Further price reductions and a slack
ening in demand for structural wood .
have followed the unfavorable pub
licity incident to the pending suit
against the yellow pine manufacturers,
says this weeks review Of the lumber
market. by Lumber, St. Louis.
"A Fair movement of yellow pine
continues, however" says the review,
and there is a noticeable increase in
straight car buying along with a fall
ing off in mixed car orders, indicating
Il shifting OF demand from the country
yards to the small cities and larger
centers. The range Of prices is con-
siderable and competition for business
active.
The Douglas fir outlook is measur-
ably improved by the decision of the

" WToolens

The opening Of serges, ciays and
French backs for the mems suit trade
for fall, and the withdrawal of women's
fall fabrics by the American Wcolen
Company last week, had a decidedly
stimulating effect upon the wholesale
WOODEN and worsted goods market. The
new prices made by the American
" Woolen Company were slightly higher
IN most eases than the revised prices
made or spring goods in January
Buyers had little fault to find with the
new prices and apparently are placing
substantial orders. The company $
overcoating business for next Lall has
been booked up in good order it is
said, and other selling agents who have
offered overcoatings report good re
sponse.
The women's wear fabric trade,
however, appears to have made even
better progress. Prices are hardening
and several lines of distinctive fabrics
have been we'll sold.
Raw wool has not reflected the full
effect of the Improvement in the goods
trade, but dealers are confidently look
ing forward TO a greater Volume Of
business. Government auction sales
Will be resumed in the near future.
The large raw wool supply, however,
precludes any marked higher prices

ohc OF the peculiar facts of the
present situation is that retail busi-
ness in most parts Of the country is
holding up remarkably we'll aespjte y
large amount of unemployment and a
genersl lowering of wage scales.
IN at ieast four of the Federal Re-
SYavs olstrlcts, Boston, Philadelphia,
Cleveland and Richmon tabulated TO-
ures on sales indicate that ,he stores
are seiilng sufficiently greater quan-
t1ty CT merchandise at lower prices
than last year to bring the MONEY
value of present sales in excess of
thoss Of early 1920, which was al the
height OF the boom period.
In I'll reports of retail conditions the
point Is stressed that the public is
partial to bona fde bargains. bu. Is
not buying price alone, demanding
quality with moro discrimination thar
1t did year ago
weathered the storm of declininsS
prices much better than did the manu-
facturer. or the wholesaler. This is
largely due to the fact that consumers
40 MT follow price trends as Closely
as 90 those in trade, and also to the
dlverslned and numerous outlets that
the retailer has for the stock Of goods
on his shelves. Another feature Of the
retailers position is his ability.
through handling only finished goods.
TO be able TO keep in step +hrough
quick turnovers with the dovnxar,
price trend without suffering hage
lossec on stocks. The manufactures
and holesaler, because Of the greater
Length Of time consumed in heir
processes Of production and distribu-
ton, are liable to arge losses through
depreciation in values.
IN a general way liquidation of sur
plus stocks among manufacturers is
drawing to close Wholesalers how
ever, are still burdened with greater
stocks than current distribution war
rants. Exceptions to both these state
ments can be made in individual cases.
