Dese Harder te SwallowCommenting upon the stubbornness
of the majority of the retailers te sub-
mit te a necessary radical price reduc-
tion, n prominent local financial inter-est Intimated yesterday that conditionsand circumstances may compel the ap-
plication of still harsher means.Every effort In a kindly sort of a
way has been made by banking institu-tions nnd ethers te persunde retailers,he continued, te abolish the absolutelyfoolish psychological policy which theyhave been following In the face of theradical price whichbeen sweeping the country broadside.It was recognized some nge itwould be necessary for them te takethe purge, nnd the dose was made aspalatable as possible. Seme had thecourage te listen te geed advice. Othersignored It entirely, or maue prcicusethat heavy overhead charges wouldmake it impossible for the time bclug.A great many, he said, seemingly hadpostponed the day of action until afterthe holiday trade was ever. Everybodyhas been very indulgent and most everybody new Is beginning te lese patience, i
and unless many will listen to reason 1
venture te predict the next willbe a hard one te swallow.
Will History Repeat Itself?There arc a great many In both the
banking and business world, and alsoin ether walks of life, who lie'd firmlyte the belief history repeats Itselfalong lines. In view of the
new prevailing in both financialand commercial circles, net only at homebut the world ever, there arc a numberof cleso )bscrvers giving much studyte past performances as applicable topresent conditions.
The Liberty National Bank, of NewYerk, has made an interesting com-parison in thin connection between com-modity price swiugs in the Civil Warperiod and today. "During the CivilWar," the bank states, "prices as com-pared te 1800 rose te a higher pointthan during the World War, ns com-pared te l()i:i. After the Civil Warprices began te fail at once and con-tinued te record succeeding declines nndupward movements, the declines beingalways greater than the rallies. )u1018, en the ether hand, there was adecided drop in prices, succeeded by afurther rlie that carried prices tehigh levels. It is te be noted that theintensity and scope of the present declinein prices are almost identical with thedecline which took place in lS(J.r imme-diately at the close of the C'vl' ""ir."
A Soliloquy en Chandler AuteThere was ceiiniuuiuu.u ui.-- . .,i en
the street yesterday concerning urather unique statement Issued by aprominent New Yerk heut-- rcgardinethe recent performance of the stock ofthe Chandler Moter Ce. Ah the heus.cIn question Is supposed te have actedeh brokers for the Insidersduring the last ear. the Incident cameIn for mere than passing attention. Hygardlng the recent slump of the stuckthe statement has this te say :
"A croup of traders and opera-tors, having Interviewed themselvesand decided CIIM was '.elling toe highwith respect te ether meter shares,decided te sell It nnd then proceed luimagination te usurp the function ofthe directors nnd pnss the dlvlduid. Agroup of iusiders and uutomebile menwho made a let of money in Chand-ler's 400 point advance by buying thestock when the meter Industry wasstagnant during a period of readjust-ment after the armistice and sellingIt 'est spring, have been repurchasingCIIM under 80 nnd will continue te mcumulate it, anticipating another bigprofit next Ueth groups havethe means te finance their Judgment.CIIM. like ether stocks, (luctuates, ad-vancing when buying exceeds sellingaud declining when selling is mere ef-fective. It is any one's what Itwill de immediately. These who nreselling the stock are merely backingtheir own opinion nt the bottom et a200 point break. These who are buy-lu- g
have the absolute certainty of in-evitable business recovery next yearIn their favor, the reasonable ccrta'lntyof a technical stock mnikct recoveryafter a year's decline and the comfortof a RIO dividend which finances theiroperation hy yielding 13 te 14 per centen their money. The vagaries of specu-lation may favor the hears in theirefforts te induce selling by their raids,but they will find a bid for every shareof stock they offer."
