Wheeler, banker and former president of the United Stales Chamber of Commerce, Wheeler deciaxed he believes the present decline In prioes Is the "real thing" and probably will continue. He aid, however, that he did not believe prices would return to their pre-war level.

"The rupply has caught up with the demand" is iho reason Wbeeier gave for the decline. High prices, he said, were cansd by a shortage of the principal commodities, due to Interrupted transportation facilities during the war. "The result was that the shortage occasioned a demand greater than the actual need," he said. "Kvery buyer placed order for two to three times th stuff ha needed, in expectation of getting his requirements out of a portion of Lhe order placed. "While prices were ascending, there was no need of liquidation.

Then when supply and demand began to equalise, the fear of lower prices caused cancellation of orders and, when the ordnr market was liquidated, it was found the supply had overtaken the demand. The m.trkot, therefore has turned from a selling market to a buyers' market, which invariably induces price recessions." The effect, Wheeler said, will be to cause a lay-off of labor anil make the irjpply of common labor more New Navy Blue Silk Petticoats Just what you want for present fall wear.
