Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. January 11.-For still
another week the main trend Of COM
modify prices has been in a downward
direction That fact is evidenced by
Duns list of wholesale quotations, but
the excess of declines was slightly mar
rover this week. Thus, 80 out Of a
total of SIS changes were toward lower
levels, whereas 80 Of last weeks A al
terations represented reductions. The
movement year ago also was In the
same direction, although the increases
and recessions were much more closely
in balance.
One interesting occurrence of the pres
ent week was the reported gain in de-
mand for copper. which was regarded
AS giving strength to the belief that
there will be at least no immediate
concession from the 18-cent level. Other
metals we're irregular in price, but were
chiefly easier, contrasting with the dis
tinctly flrmer conditions in hide mar
kets. The monthly compilation OF
Dun's Index Number showed the ex-
pected further decline, yet it was only
about "a per cent.

BROOKMIRE FORESEE5
SLOWER BUSINESS PACE

Business for the next few years Is
likely to follow q gutter course than
during the boom years from 1922 to
1929. according to the latest analysis
of business conditions by the Brook
mire Economic Service. Inc, which
says: I'VE anticipate a temporary re-
covery In business during the first
quarter, with q renewed decline to
lower levels In the second quarter. 1t
is impossible to tell how far the de-
cline may go or how long it may last.
In the nature of things, there cannot
be q permanent turn in the trend of
activity before the third quarter. 1t
may be delayed somewhat longer. In
any event. the reconstruction boom of
1922 to 1929 is past. Business for the
next few years Is likely to follow a.
quieter course"
