PRICES DECLINING SLOWLY BUT SURELY, SAYS U.S. CHAMBER WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. Business and Industrial conditions during the remainder of the calendar year will be marked by a "definite trend to a some'what lower level of prices," according to a semi-annual report upon crops and business given out here by the United Etates Chamber of Cammerce. ,. The committee which prepared the report added that the general financial opinion In the country was that the readjustment would be accomplished without "financial disorder or any sudden financial calamity." ; Tight money, unrest of labor, the loosened bonds in 6ome phases of social life, the Russian-Poland war and the high cost of necessities are enumerated as disturbing business factors, but, in the opinion of the committee, there Is no need for the country to become' panicky over any of these matters. - "Amid all the cross-currents and eddies of the Industrial situation a definite trend sems to be slowly developing toward a gradually increasing gain of supply upon demand and a somewhat lower level of prices," the committee reported. , "Here and there mills have shut down. . Here and there they are running on reduced time. It Is a scattered and local matter rather than a general proposition. : "The automobile industry seems to be headed toward somewhat ,les3ened output. Also the jewelry business in New England is slowing down. Contrariwise, paper mills are busy and full of orders. Equally Is this true of the metal lines. Mines Are at Variance. "Whether mining is busy and prosperous or the reverse, depends upon the nature of the metal. Gold raining still suffers from high cost of production and the stationary price of gold. Bilver mining feels the effect of the decline in the price of silver. The price of zinc is low and the demand not equal to the possibilities of supply. Lead is higher because of increased demand. Copper is dull because of a supply not yet disposed of. Iron mining is good. Phosphate mines in the South are doing well after many lean years. "Contraction in financial credits has put 'wild catting' in the oil regions out of business, which makes business there dull because supplies for drilling oil wells are no longer called for. "Construction and Duilding have slowed down because of high prices and scarcity of both labor and materials. "Coal mining as usual has its flock of troubles strikes and lack of cars being the principal ones. Big Crops Promised. "The promise row, and it is almost fulfilled, is for 3,000,000,000 bushels of corn 800,000,000 bushels of wheat, both winter and spring and for a cotton yield of about 12,500,000 bales. Cotton, however, is not a safe reckoning as yet. There will be more oats than last year, and more tobacco which is everywhere good more potatoes more rice about the largest crop on record. More sugar, both cane and beet and especially a hay crop of such proportions as should have a marked effect in reducing the cost of livestock, and of dairy and poultry products. "From evry state and every section comes the complaint of the lack of cars as the greatest of all handicaps to the transaction of business and one of the moving causes of the continuance of high prices." r l 1 oiiourban WKBSTER, Ind.
