Mr.. Babson. Buyers during these

A commodities show no change.
Price increase will be felt most on
the raw materials that have been
completely deflated, but finished
goods in practically all lines will
show some strengthening during the
next few months.
ut is particularly important that
retail merchants fully grasp this
change in the situation. They must
turn with the tide. The retailer
should plan on substantial increase
in trade between now and Christ
mas. If he does not he will be
caught with a shortage rather than
a surplus of goods, and transpor-
tation tie-up will make it difficult
to get more on short notice.
This increase in business will be
due to combination of increased
purchasing power and change in
the attitude of the general public.
