Essarv. a correspondent of the r U" n ositimore oup, says: "Higher government officials- are convinced that the peak p thigh prices in this country for the ne cessities of life not only has been reached but that it has beep passed and the shaking-down process which has been inevitable, soon or late, has set in decisively, - There will be a period of gen eral depression, it is anticipated here, as liquidation of stocks goes on and as cancellation of orders takes'place, butj this period will not be extended, it is believed. Be fore many weeks have passed it will be possible for business as a whole to find bottom and after that market stabilization will come, but upon a surer economic basis than at any time since 1916. "These convictions have been arrived at bvf officials of the gov ernment, following a series of all important conferences, partici pated in during the week by lead ing factors in the grain industry, by powerful banking interests from each of the FedeVal reserve districts, by representatives of the coal industry, by the executives of the railroads and by other purely business interests. "It is an exceedingly interesting fact that despite the uncertainties of the future, despite liquidation that is observable in practically all lines of business, despite the freight congestion, despite the strain upon credit which has become acute, there is no panic talk in Washing ton. Nobpdy in authority seems to feel the slightest anxiety over the situation. A lotof people will make less profits than before, of course. Some people will lose a great deal of money. Loans will be harder to make, it is admitted, and buying will be curtailed where ever it is possible for the average man and family to curtail, it, but these things do not bespeak panic. There is no grave alarm over the business outlook. There is no thought of a great crash. At least none of these things are reflected in Washington. "Although the high price level is now on the decline, bestinform- ecf government officials do no feel too hopeful of pronounced results all along the line in the immediate future. They say that clothing prices will slump even more than they have; that the prices of other essentials are calculated to go down. by slow degrees, but they doftbt if food prices will be lower mater ially for some weeks. "People can wear old clothes; they can avoid building new houses, perhaps, and buying new automo biles: but they cannot stop eating nnd most families cannot furtherj curtail their grocer's bills. " They are at rock bottom now. Because of this the demand for foodstuffs will continue about as it is and un til there is a more widespread pro duction of food products, prices will remain high." -- I o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o s T RA W H T s o o o ; O- or o o- O Fairly complete stock 6f Men's Boys' and Children's Straw Hats- You will save money by com- ing-to my store for anything, you J need in STRAW HAT S o c o o o O o Also carry Felt and Wool Hats for Men and Boys.
