GENERAL RISE IN PRICES MAY BE
 i~<EXPECTED AS RESULT OF STRIKES

Wellesley Hills. Mass, July 2s.-- When Interviewing Roger W. Babson reEardinti the railroad and cos, strikes, Mr. Babson did not seem sur. prised win recent developments, He believes that things are working out In . natNral way and all interests>are doing the best they can with a bad situationi What seems to interest Mir, BabAon most Is the possible of. feet on prices in general following the strike settlements. Discussing IA this possibility he says,.
 Effect of Strikes
 "rhe strikes while in progress na- turally put general damper on bust ness, They have A disheartening ef. feet on producers. jobbers and retail. CTS. Wage workers have less tc spend and manufacturers are less in- terested th pushing their business All of this tends to hold up trade in gen eral Yet during this period of strikes people are living. eating and dressing s just as f no strikes existed. Houses are deterioratins, young folks are getting married, children are beins born, clothes are wearing out. and merchandise in general is being con- stunned. If deterioration and con sumption were suspended during the depression Of labor strikes. then strikes might be good for the coun- try at times. Unfortunately, how ever, the, deterioration and consump- fion goes on even though retail pur- chases decline.
 This means that after strikes are settled there Is general rush 10 buy. The wage workers when returning to work again feel prosperous. They snd their families rush to the stores and purchase goods The group Of industries which have been involved in the strike immediately receive an avalanche of orders. They in turn feel prosperous and order new ma chinery and quantities of supplies. This sudden increase in business from both wage workers and em- ploycrs Is quickly felt by the jobbers who in turn pour in orders upon the manufacturers.
 Goods Become Scarce
 The immediate effect of this is 10 cause temporary scarcity of goods which in many instances re- suits in the raising of prices. There fore l should not be surprised to see an increase the wholesale prices Of many products this fall. Tn some sections Of the country there will be . distinct shortage in some lines of goods. Merchants, therefore, are justified in stocking up now for fall and winter trade. Those who have contracts to All should see that these contracts are we'll covered. When business Is 50 dull as it is at pres ent it is hard to believe that a few months can see a radical change in the situation. Such is possible al- though price increase may be more or less of temporary nature. say temporary because after the next spurt In commodity prices, there will probably be another break which will make the general price level even lower than it is at present. After this next upward movement, the gen eral trend Of commodity prices may DC downward for some years to come
 Some of the basic commodities are already showing an upward tendency sugar, forS example, which has been such drug on the market during the past two years, has already ~be. gun to strengthen and people are well justified in again buying sncar hv th.

WALL STREET STOCK
 EXCHANGE REPORTS

Mixed conditions ruled in today's stock market. Opening prices were mainly higher under the impetus of a renewed demand for rails and some of the favorite industrials where gains ran from to ? l-2 points Oils, es- pecially Mexican Pet, also were strong with the resumption of the re- cent buying of high class equipments. Tobacco chemicals and rubbers nov ed to higher ground Motors were the uncertain features, Stdebaker re- acting sharply from its early rise of almost ? points, Atlantic Gulf also showed recurrent selling pressure. The closing was firm. Sales approximat- ed 3o,000 shares.
