Executives Confident,
Consumption Holds
AT High Levels
By J. B. WoIIoch
North American Newspaper AIIioncs

North Amerieon Newspaper Ailioncs
NEW YORK, July 4-Moderate
price declines could produce shatter-
ing effects on business, according to
some economists who believe that
numerous consumer goods price
structures are towering over shaky
foundations. Dissidents point to
the fact that breaks in some COM
modify markets early this year were
reasonably well absorbed and stock
prices showed rallying power after
last Mondays dive.
There Is nothing in the inventory
situations of a majority of indus
tries to cause concern lest business
reverSals bring out heavy stock
accumulations. Forced liquidations
have been rarities and distress mer-
chandise has been insignificant in
quantities at either wholesale or
retail levels.
Rising personal income seems to
give some assurance of unslackened
consumption. The third-round wage
increases in May alone, together with
other contributing factors, lifted
wages and salaries more than 81, ,70O,-
100000 and sent personal income
during that month up past the
$208 900 900, 900 mark. This was long
before rearmament or ECA figured
in industrial production.
Commodity price increases since
May had raised the Department of
Commences index to 1867 (June 26)
but the end is not yet in sight. The
June 26 index figure was nearly
20 points over that of June %, 1947,
when the index stood at 1476. In
view of these and current develop
ments it is difficult to envision prices
declines in major industries except
by Government fiat.
Imitation has not yet been halted
and there are no immediate pros
poets that it will be. Prices and per-
sonal income may be rushing head
on toward a breaking point, but few
business executives believe that scat
tered and moderate price declines
In some sectors of our economy
would suffice to give q starting
impulse to defiation.
Adjustments and corrections In
some classes of consumer goods
particularly those priced out of their
greatest markets or the relatively
few that are encountering conditions
OF Saturatfon, cannot obscure the
basic fact that essential and strategic
commodities and manufactures are
In far from adequate supply and
may become tighter as rearmament
and foreign-relief requirements are
served.
