NEW RETAIL PRICE
ADJUSTMENT SEEN
Cleveland Institution Believes
Present, Levels Must
Be Lowered.
Dispatch to The Star.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. September 90
Retailers who have felt that retail
prices on their particular products could
be maintained will sooner or later be
faced with the necessity Of falling in
line and conforming to the general
price trend, according to the Union
Trust Co. of Cleveland in survey of
the current business situation.
The bank points out that while on
one hand basic commodity prices which
are now below production costs must
eventually be advanced, 1t will be
equally necessary for consumer prices,
in every line of business, to reach a
level which is in proper relationship to
the price of raw materials.
Such readustments, in and OF them
selves, have in many lines proved
stimulus to increased business" says
the bank in it's publication, Trade
Winds. The whole problem OF price
readjustment is difficult and intensely
complicated one. Prices of basic
commodities have apparently passed
through the most severe phase OF the
decline, and in recent weeks there have
appeared signs of sterilization, with
commodity price indices remaining sta
tionary, or now and then turning
slightly upward.
Both wheat and cotton prices have
experienced small upswings, and prices
of iron and steel have held at fairly
even course since the beginning OF
August. Apparently, however, in some
lines drops in commodity prices have
not yet been fully passed on to the
ultimate consumer"
In discussing general business con-
ditions the bank sees general feeling
of hesitancy prevailing, largely brought
about by uncertain developments
abroad, dividend reductions and other
unfavorable news.
THE general volume Of business In
September has remained much the same
as August, with few manifestations of
a seasonal upturn," says Trade Winds.
Consumption of electrical energy, car
loadings and department stores sales
stand far below where they were at
this time last year, showing continuing
curtailment all the way from the man
ufacturer to the sales counter.
THE Autumn rebound of steel activ-
ity has not reached expectations, al
though there is some evidence Of i'm
proved demand from the automotive
industry, railroads, public works con-
struction, stove, radio and steel barrel
manufacturers The indicated output
of motor cars for September Is 10000
units, and 1t Is not expected that an up
ward turn in production will take place
before late October with the advent of
new models. The total volume of build
ing in August continues far behind last
year."

CURB STOCKS SLIP
TOLOWERLEVELS
Losses Are Fractional, How
ever, and Trading VOL
ume Light. 80
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 26-Stocks
On the Curb Exchange slipped in the
the final half hour today, finishing the
session with fractional losses for the
day. The opening was dull and ir-
regular, but later prices steadied,
though dealings throughout remained
Light.
Electric Bond g. Share was off frac-
tionally, which also was true of Cities
Service, American Superpower, Niagara
Hudson Power, International Utilities
3 and Utilities Power & Light.
In the final few minutes of trading
Great Atlantic & Pacific yielded about
4 points. Western Maryland, on its
first sale In two weeks, appeared at IS,
on its better than anticipated earnings
report. Standard Oil of Indiana was
OF slightly.
With London on strictly cash basis,
dealings in such international shares as
are listed here, mostly industrials and
utilities, were restricted and prices
rather heavy. This naturally influenced
early trades in foreign shares here
though the strength of active domestic
utilities. and industrials later was trans
nnitted to them.
Brazilian Traction. Ford Motor, Ltd,
and Woolworth, Ltd, opened lower.
though British American Tobacco bet
tered. Then the omission of the divi-
dend due at this time on Dunlop Rub
Der, whose shares are traded in here,
was not exactly constructive.
The higher-priced utilities, notably
soft earlier in the week, stood out in
the power and light division, as such
issues as Commonwealth Edison and
Northern States Power A gained a
point or more.

BAKING INDUSTRY !
|. EXPECTING PICKUP
Association Plans for In
provement in Business at
National Convention.
BY ALVIN REsCH.

written Tor the Associated Press,
CHICAGO. September 26.-The Ma
TONS baking industry Is trying 10
weather the depression without reduce
ing its manpower or lowering q wage
scale that has been more than txipled
since pre-war days.
Possible ways and means Of negotlat-
Ing this and other economic hurdles
have been discussed this week in Chi
cago at the national convention Of the
American Bakers Association, whose
2,200 members account for so per cent
Of the country's output Of bakery prod
ucts.
Volume Fairly Constant.
While production curves in many In
dustries have jumped from maximum
figures to new lows within the last
three years, the baking industry's vol
ume has remained fairly constant, its
annual retail output totaling between
$500 900 900 and $3.50 900 900.
Although the industry expects some
what Of a decline in its volume for
1881, bakers have noted q rather pro-
nounced indication, especially in the
last three months, Of q trend toward
increased use Of wheat and wheat prod
uctS.
Reports from some industrial centers
Sdy Dfcdu safes nave luCTGA&SQ, ana IN
many rural sectors more -four has been
purchased, oStensibly for home baking
Because the price Of practically every
grade Of bread has dropped from I to
2 cents q loaf since January /. the in
dustry expects an appreciably lower in
come for 1891, but IL nevertheless hopes
to avoid wage cuts.
Whereas there was almost no Scent
bread in 1929, when most pound loavts
sold for 8 or 9 cents, nickel bread Is
sold In practically every city today.
Average Wage.
The average wage In the baking in
dustry Is slightly more than $40 q week
more than three times the e1376 aver
age of pre-war days. Thus. far, how
ever, the industry has experienced COM
paratively little wage-cutting, despite
the fact that the average baker Is work
ing on a smaller margin Of profit today
than q year ago.
Likewise there has been no trend
toward reduction Of manpower Such
innovations as prepared sliced bread
and twisted loaveS, in fact, have Gre
ated need for more workers In some
instances.
While bread prices have slumped by
so per cent, the price of bread has not
decreased in proportion, bakers explain,
largely because other ingredients have
been cut only by 30 or 80 per cent, and
major items In the bakers overhead,
such as wages and rent, have remained
unchanged In most cases.

Commission as are the railroads, and
urges lower taxes for the carriers as q
partial relief from existing unfair COM
petition.
Another interesting comment relative
to the rate increase comes from Daniel
willard, president Of the Baltimore 81
Ohio. Mr.. willard feels that an in
crease, If granted. can only serve as a
shortlived expedient to help the roads
through q difncult situation. 1t Is for
this reason, continues Mr.. willard, that
the necessity which prompted the rail-
roads to seek an increase in rates at
this time, Is not particularly pleasing
to railroad executives. 1t was only
after practically all other methods OF
seeking increasing earnings were ex-
hausted that an application for q rise
IN rates was resorted TO.
North American Co.
No change in dividend Is In con-
temptation on the stock Of the North
American Co., according TO Frank l..
Dame, president.
Rumors regarding q change are en-
tirely without foundation, continues Mr..
Dame, and are circulated for the sole
purpose Of depressing the stock. The
company's record over the past eight
years, during which dividends have been
paid on the stock at the rate of 10
per cent, has demonstrated clearly the
wisdom Of the practice and the justi-
fieation for It's continuance.
Pierce Arrow Earnings.
According to A. r. Erskine. chairman
Of the Studebaker Corpora ton, net
profits Of the Pierce Arrow Motor Car
Co. for the two-and -one -half-year pe-
rod ending June 80, amounted to $42.54
q share on the companys per cent
preferred stock, equal to seven years
future dividend requirements. Main
tenance Of the dividend is expected.
Mr.. Erskine also predicts that the
last quarter will show up better than
the third quarter as regards earnings.
and that the company will become a
more important factor than ever in the
nne car market, due to the comprehen-
sive ana well advanced plans for the
coming year.
Demand for Copper.
II appears that the trading fraternity
once more failed TO give sufflcient at
tention to what may be regarded ss q
very constructive development. The
opening OF the books by customs smelt-
ers Tor 1892 delivery resulted In o very
ectlve demand for copper, with Ger
many the principal buyer. A substan-
TAI gain Is reported In exports, ana
u would not be surprising II, as re-
suit OF the brisk demand for the metal,
smelters were TO advance the price OF
copper In the near future.
Cotton Prospects.
Despite renewed weakness In cotton.
u Is not unlikely that an upward trend
and larger turnover may occur In
the not distant future. Unsettled con-
oition in the various foreign exchanges
are expected to stimulate the conversion
OF capital into commodities OF diner
ent kinds, with cotton attracting espe-
cial attention. Foreign interests. par
ticularly English, have been heavy buy
ers Of cotton and other connmodities,
which Ia likely to continue as long as
