SLUMP IN PRICES '' , BEING EXTENDED P /> . r? i?. a# consumers soon to uei Decent ur Drop?Wave Begun by Whole alers to Be Reuected By Retailers. Washington, Sept. 30.?Price cutting has taken hold of the wholesale trade to an extent that soon must be felt substantially in lower prices to the consumer, according to the federal reserve board's monthly business review made public tonight. Revival of the wave of price reduction and its spread to aamy retail lines was attributed to "a more exacting demand by the buying public as to price and quality." Retail purchasers are showing continued determination to await a move by dealers to meet those demands while foregoing luxuries and semi-luxuries, re ports to the board declared. Although the board believed the buying public was largely dominating the market now, it said, that labor and production were having a marked effect on prices. There was much evidence, it said, of increased efficiency on the part of labor and as a result production was on the increase and factory operation beginning to approach normal. Stability Returning n 1 tL . 1 1)- .T* J Z summea up, me Doara s unaings which were that "business conditions now are definitely on the road j toward stability of as great and confirmed a nature as the disturbed position of the world at large permits."

"This has been accompanied by price reductions and by the resumption of work in branches of industry, where hesitation as to future outlook has led to suspension. "After an apparent slowing down in the price reduction movement during midsummer, it has again reappeared and the month of September saw substantial cuts in well known makes of automobiles, vari'ous classes of textiles, shoes and ' leather and other wholesale prices. ' Reductions have occurred in a varteJty of staples including wheat. ' Changes in prices have tended to make business men and bankers cautious about future commitments." ' Drops in prices have featured al1 most alj of the textile lines, agents of the various reserve banks re! ported and they added that, due to reductions already announced by wholesalers and jobbers the retailers are buying carefully and not in I large quantites. The retailers' attitude was depicte d as necessarily conservative for the reason a market with a downward trend leaves him the alternative of taking a loss or keeping his shelves stocked with high priced goods. Shoes To Be Lower ) Similiar influences were shown 1 to be bearing on the shoe and lea ther industry. In these lines particularly the reports of the board disclosed the influence of a demand lessened by high pices is strong and gives no indication of weakening. Because of this apparent sentiment, the review stated, retailers are postponing buying, or are buying only for current requirements.

Material prices show the effect of price cutting in other commodities and "certainly have passed the peak," the review said. Chicago and environs have been most favored with respect to price reductions in( Duuaing materials and construction where, according to the . board's reports prices fell between 15 and 25 per cent during the last 30 days. The feeling was said to prevail that price revision in this / . like other lines of trade was due to spread.
