Mnr.u fucturers everywhere, however, wor-' shown I/O hold the view that the peak of high prices has been reached and to expect a gradual recession. In the clothing trade, particularly the board said there was a marked tendency of the public to make old s ipliies last longer and to refuse to pay exorbitant prices. This phas~ can mean only that an awakening has come the statement said, and that many people have arrived at the conclusion that they are themselves responsible for a continuing high range of prices. Wholesalers in the dry goods trade to some extent, have taken a "commesadatory attitude" and are discouraging their customers from placing heavy fall orders. This has served 4/v c-in^imn demand and create a feel h?g that lower prices will follow. 1 I The reports do not give encourage ' ment concerning a price reduction in shoes. Eastern seaboard cities reported a "piling up of commodities," on this side of the Atlantic.
