Price Reduction Seen

the market.
Buyers Strike On Luxuries
Within recent months there has
been a tremendous increase In
supplies in the fur industry until
today the wholesale market is
glutted with furs. The end OF Octo-
Der saw some of the first big
slashes in fur prices, about 80 per
cent, and prices should continue
downward in 1947. Wait until next
summer to buy furs.
Other luxury industries have
finally felt a public antagonism to
high prices. During the war enor-
nous profits We're made on cos
tune jewelry. Countless new manu-
facturers entered the field. Today
they are faced with a problem for
each jewel-y worker expects six
teen to seventeen dollars more
a week than he did before the war.
Wholesale jewelry inventories are
very full. The sellers market is
over. Even in the face of higher
costs, prices must be lowered if
people are to be encouraged to
buy. Slower selling in perfumes.
wines and nightclub entertainment
are rejecting buyer resistance.
Tipping is even showing a 50 per
cent drop in some places.
Future Buying Trends
The oil industry, fearful of price
cuts, would like to hold back ex-
cess production. Home heating
oils are plentiful and if there is a
further increase in these stocks
we may expect a cut in price by
next spring. Gasoline stocks are
higher than in 1941. Heavy fuel oils
used in industry and diesel ship
ping are in good supply. Rough
lumber is in fair supply and more
Southern pine is reaching the
market. The price of oak flooring
is beginning to slide and some
lumber dealers are even -ecelv-
ing sales circulars from their
wholesale sources.
Christmas sales are expected
to be about 30 per cent higher than
in 1945. Many retailers, though,
are hoping to effect a clearance OF
their remaining wartime goods in
the holiday demand. Price reduc-
tons, as we near December 70.
will encourage this clearance. Toys
will be much more plentiful this
year but not those made of steel.
The supply of small radios is rapid
ly increasing and may soon sell
at "a dime a Dozen" Between
ten and twelve billions more were
spent on non-durable goods in the
first half of 1916 than would have
been spent in a prewa- year OF
comparable income. On durable
goods, however, less was spent
than what might have been spent
with the same income in a pre-
war year. 1t will be interesting to
see, when there is a much greater
supply of durable goods in the
market, whether the public vii.

BY ROGER w. BABsON

BABSON PARK, Mass, Nov. Il.
Readers will remember my pre-
diction of August is that the price
of fish is the bellwether for COM
modities IN general. Within a yea
sonable time after the price OF fish
breaks, the price of cotton declines,
TO be followed some months later
by a decline in the price OF cattle
and other livestock.
The Cotton Market
Certainly, the last few weeks
have borne out the Importance OF
nv forecast, namely, ito watch
the price of fish" When l released
this forecast August Is the price
of cotton was around $183 per ba-e.
At this writing it is only about
S156 per bale. Moreover, as long
as fish keeps going down cotton
will &c down. Furthermore, l be-
lieve that before a permanent fu-n
upward comes the price OF both
fish and cotton will decline 50 per
cent from their highs.
Manufacturers who were hold
ing cotton cloth for higher prices
are hurried,y trying to unload
since the break in the cotton mar
ket. Some stores which have found
themselves with inventories of cot
ton dresses as much as 80 per cent
over a year ago will have to cut
prices in order to get rid of their
stocks. Although mems cotton
clothing such as pajamas, shorts
and shirts, and household goods
such as sheeting and toweling are
still scarce, the reduction in the
price of cotton cloth should at
least bring out of hiding much of
the poor quality war merchandise.
This stock should sell now at low
err prices than the better quality

 'sThis letter is a direct appeal to you from the Officers and Execu- tive Board of Local B-1O13, I.B.E.W. of Hartford, Connecticut.

 Our members have applied for and were granted Unemployment Insurance by the Commissioner of Labor in this State, but unfortu- nately the Arrow Hart X Hegeman Electrical Company has protested this decision. This means lapse of several weeks or perhaps months before any direct decision can be made.
 ''We feel that what ever decision is made in the courts on this case will be the concern of every worker in this state. Therefore, we appeal to you for financial assistance to help us through this crisis.
 ''This is the first time that our organization has asked for any financial assistance and hope for a favorable action on your part"

Dennis Byrnes
 Of Bridgeport Resigns As B.A.
Painters Union No. 19O Loses Services Of Highly
 Valuable Leader

Dennis P. Byrnes, business Agent of Painters Union l9O, Bridgeport, resigned that position at special meeting held Friday: in Carpenters Hall. Byrnes had submitted his resignation early last month, to be effective as of Jan. 4th. The reason given was his de- sire to improve his health, and to spend more time with his family.
 Byrnes has held the position of B.A. for two five-year periods, l924-1929, and from l94l until his resignation. During the latter period he was renominated and elected by acclaim. A special meet ing for the election of successor to Byrnes will be held Friday, Jan. 18, l946.
 Louis J. Streck, President of L.U. 1oO, appointed Wilson Held, Vice President, as acting B.A. until sue cessor is elected. Byrnes became af- fliated with Local 190, as an appren- tice in 1909, and has sustained his membership throughout the years. In 1924. when he was elected, the wages of the painters in Bridgeport was $500 per day, and when he left the position in 1929, $11O0 was the wage. In 1940 when reelected he found the same conditions and wages $500, and now the painters have been receiving $11.00 for the past two years. His two attempts at further increases have been turned back by the Wage Adjustment Board.
 Byrnes served on the first La bor Advisory Board with Chester Bowles. and on the ration setup since its inception. He was appoint ed by Mayor McLevy as member of Garage Control Commission, and is Secretary-Treasurer of the Conn. State Confederation of Painters, and Vice-President of the Bridge port Building Trades.
