GENERAL PRICE
DECLINE SEEN
BY OUN'S
Sharp Competition for Orders
in Some Quarters, With
Buyers Conservative.
Ry Recommendation News service,


NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Dun's
Weekly Review OF Business said to-
day:
Commercial activities were gen
orally suspended for a day this week
out Of respect for the late President
Harding. The temporary cessation
OF work naturally curtailed the vol
ume of business and accentuated
the seasonal tendency toward quieter
conditions in various branches of
enterprise.
Despite the recent decrease in
employment OF labor at different
manufacturing centers, the public
purchasing power remains large,
and successive statements Of car
loadings testify to the continued
heavy distribution Of merchandise.
while the official August crop
report indicates a smaller prospec-
tive wheat harvest than had been
expected, rising prices for grain and
cotton have improved sentiment in
the farming sections.
THE price trend in most com
modities, however, Is still in the d.
rectiOn of decline, and evidence Is
not lacking OF sharper competition
for orders in some quarters.
Instead OF the feverish demand
Of the early months this year, cur
rent buying lie mainly along con-
servative lines and more hesitation
is shown. Exceptions to this con-
dition are not absent, bot the Sec
ond half OF the year thus far has
been marked by an abatement Of
activity, and seasonal factors appar-
emily do not wholly explain the
change"

Bis APPLE CROP
At DECLINING
PRICE SEEN
Potato Forecast Shows TO-
900, o-Bushei Falling OFF
From 1922 Output.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

Apples are running ahead OF
potatoes in the race toward sup
plying the market with plenty, ac-
cording to a report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
OF potatoes, the report says, THE
market outlook for producers is
far more favorable than in 1922.
Acreage was 10 per cent less in
the United States and per cent
less In Canada, and the indicated
yield is short in both countries.
1.-The July forecast shows a prob
able yield in the United States Of
10000, 900 bushels below last sea-
sons estimate. The shortage is
notable in the important second
early sections OF New Jersey, Ne
braska and Idaho, all OF which re-
port less than half the production
OF last season. A dozen of the
important second early sections
which are the chief sources of the
carlot supplies in late summer show
9,877 ,00O bushels compared with
$3.50 900 last season.
Early potato shipments have
been only about two-thirds those of
the same period last year and
slightly less than in 1921. Accord
ingly, the late or main crop states
are likely to begin shipping early
and the movement should continue
active because of the crop short
age in many OF the great consum-
ing States. In seasons when the
crops are well below average pro-
duction, the outlook is favorable
for higher winter prices and If re-
cent crop forecasts are confirmed
later, there is likely to be a fairly
active demand from dealers for
potatoes to go into storage"
The apple forecast, is as follows,
THE July forecast for the COM
mercial apple crop is 33, 900 900 bar
rels, which would be 5000, 900 ahead
of last year and 10000 above the
5-year average.
1.-THE Eastern group of apple
States taken together shows about
the same probable output as last
season. Early reports show a large
proportion of the standard long
keeping kinds, which would tend
TO an even, well-sustained supply.
Commercial increase was mainly
in the northwest. Washington is
again the leading apple State by
present indications. The old apple
season closed with shipments close
to liz 600 cars, or more than 2,70O
cars ahead Of last season, and 5000
ahead Of the 192O-1921 season. More
than half were from New York, 30
"46, and Washington, 2S,313 cars.
larry apples were late in starting
to market, but are now coming in
full volume from California, Illinois
and Indiana. The price il declin-
ing as shipments increase, but
Eastern Transparents opened the
season at $2.50@3.0O per bushel,
compared with $1.506200 last sea
