New York, Sept. 26. One impor-' tant result of last week's sharp re duction of wholesale and retail prices was the removal of all doubt about the current tendency of busi ness, i he manufacturer and whole saler who cUinsJhrough the summer to the. expectation of an improvement ot. consumption, at going prices, or higher.jne during the autumn, has had his hopes upset. Thepub!ic, by stcauuy retraining irom more pur chases than ntcessity demanded, pointed the truciath for the pro ducer, and distributor, beginning last May; buf it remained for a con centration of price cuts of 17 to more than 25 per cent in products of two motor car companies, of 10. 20 and even 45 per cent in offerings vi iiuuiug luuii orucr nuuscs aim inc marking down one-third of old Quo tations by a prominent ootton godds company, to show that consumers were seeking something- mo re 'far- reaching than casual declines of prices. Now that the price move ment is clearly defined, after being in a rather" hazy state for three months, the business tendency is to discover what the future holds forth. The business reaction is not, however, spread about evenly; it would be surpris ing If It was, for there are shortages of goods In some lines, goods of an essential character, the demand for which militates against substantial price declines for some time to come. Hut the great Aask-of In dustry at present Is to find a price basis at avhirh. the public will abandon Its "strike" against purchases and the latest developments show that theXhesltant, hop ing againBt hope variety of price shading is rapMly being supplanted by a genuine effort to break away from the Inflated Dusiness structure of 1919. 4 From whatmay be gathered In financial nndv -business circles, tho heads of corpo rations, large and small, aro trying to de termine what the situation ' will be next springy' believing that readjustment ot ttrlces and manufacturing schedules durlitg the winter will produce a stabilised basis for doing business. - The easier money rates of the last week might be too easily grasped as a sign that the strain of the autumn demand Is on tho wane. , , Curtis Aggies.

I THE HAM OY P I fl 3 Credit Where Ctedit Is Due. 1 BY PAUL GREER. . - The woiid i'ar taught many things, and one of the' greatest was the value of pulling together. In this period of transition', with the next decade holding so many fine possibilities for progress, the lesson of co-op- eration is one of thetmost importance. vN ( Slowly it is coming to be realized that the pro verbial struggle for existence is not, as some would have it believed, the conflict .of man against man, but solely of man .against conditions unfavorable to life, hamper ing development or hindering welfare and success. So thij is the age of organization. And the .value of co-operativa effort has" not been lost on the various sections of American society," whether it be the manu facturers, the merchants,' the housewives, the working men or the farmefs. Having learned co-operation - among their group, the time is Approaching when the same principles will beapplied between groups. This development of co-operation for mutual bene fit and for the public" profit as well can be seen right in Omaha in the instance of the associated ' retail mer chants. ' It is J. W, Metcalfe, the secretary of their " Organization, speaking : v , - "The retail business interests of Omaha, up to 1914, ' When the war began, were not to any great extent avail ring themselves of the advantages to-their businesses of co-operative effort,'he says. , ''But from that time on, . realieing that the war was to be fought and won by the countries mo"st willing to sacrifice and serve for the interests of all, certain'ideas became deeply impressed. Since the armistice was signed the retarl interests have been forming local co-operative bureaus. In the work performed through such retail associations not only the merchants are benefited, but the buying p'ublic is also ' enjoying1 the "fruits., , "( ""Only through such organizations can the retailers'" get rid of ancT prevent the many abuses thathave crept into the retail trade thafmaterially increase the aiBt of doing business; and this cost has ultimately to be placed upon the price of the merchandise to be sold. By the elimination of waste, the consumer receives the benefit ' f the savings." ' , :'- ' It is, interesting ,to note at'this poinjjtha it was the Associated Retailers of Omaha who have- induced the United States Postoffice department to" establish here the first systelnof parcel post store delivery. By making use of the government delivery system, from 3 to 20 cents a pack'age will be clipped from the expense of getting goods from the stores to the homes of purchas ers. This saving can be accomplished through the sub" . ' stitution of single delivery system eliminating the du plication of routes necessary when each store had its own wagons and trucks to maintain. Public operation' of an'enterprise such as the postoffice vis viewed as a form of co-operation in which all the people participate. ' Retail associations are algo establishing a depart ment of credits which means much to their customers. The elimination of losses from failure of some to pay their bills will inevitably decrease" the price of mer chandise to those yho do pay their debts. . . "In these credit departments 'will be found the pay habits of all customers," says Mr. Metcalfe. "Credit in the stores of'Omaha'is not a matter of being wealthy it depends solely on whether a person pays his bills promptly and holds Jo his "promises and agreements. Probably 90 per cent of the credit extended to custom ers in the retail stores is given because of the good rec-' ord for payjng of the applicant, and the same ratio will apply, to those who are refused credit because they do - not pay .their bills at the proper time. . U - ' ,, ' "Wherever there is a retailers' association with a central credit bureau,, the residents of thaScommunity who, through misunderstandirfg-ar some unforeseen cirA ciimstaie, may have accumulated-a poor or bad record, will find that they will receive all necessary help to re build themselves up to a good credit standing. This is " one of the many pbjtesfcs of a credit bureau that is run by the, co-operative efforts of the merchants. The elimination-of losses from unpaid bills has decreased' the , price of 'oods. ' Wherever a retailers association is found jjkre will still be the. keenest competition, but although tfyere is competition, it,is of a friendly nature, . and the buying public receives thye benefit. . , ' . "To illustrate the activities of the Omaha credit bureau as it affects the credit of the individual, in our offiqes last year there were 61,036 re-ratings placed upon the -records. This means that the member firms ; had chahged the credit standing of that many men and women customers. Some of these were from good to poor or bad, but the majority were from poor or bad, to good ratings. 1; "The fact that retail associations are growing all over America has made( it virtually impossible for the man who washes to obtain merchandise without paying for it to do so by moving from one town to ariother. The traveling fraudulent check artist hasT)ecome less known through the activities of these associations in the last few years. '.! J : .
