Corner Twenty-fourth and Hudson Avenue J PRICES STAY AT TOP LEVEL FOR MM LEAST Ogden Man Back From Con vention Says Gradual Re turn to Pre-war Prices Expected in Year Prices generally havo reached their highest peak, but the return to the normal pre-war level will be gradual land cannot be looked for before next year. This fall a few commodities will, be even higher in price than at present, but the majority will stand steady and decreuao rather than in crease beginning Dcxt spring. The complete readjustment will take near- ly three years. This was the composite sentiment expressed by leading business men and economists from all parts of the United States who spoke before tho twenty-fifth convention of the Nation al Association of Credit Men, held in Atlantic City, N. J., June 1 to u, ac cording to word brought to Ogden by E. H. Chambers, assistant manager of the Scovlllo Paper company. Mr. Chambers was a delegate to the con vention representing the Utah Associa tion of Credit Men. Jobbers Stock up In the opinion of the convention speakers, according to Mr. Chambers, prices will not be lower before the Spring of 1921, even if then. Not a few goods will be higher this fall than they are now. For more than six months every wholesaler has beon advanced costs. In many cases these goods could be replaced today, If at all. only at still higher prices. "In certain lines, notably silks, prices have .become inflated beyond reason," ho said. "Reduced quota tions in such lines arc n6t systematic of tho market as a whole. "The cut prices sales now running over the country are confined mainly to spring ready-to-wear and kindred goods. As in every year when the coming of warm weather is late, re tailers began cutting prices' in May to avoid carrying the goods ovor. "On staple merchandise there is only one legitimate reason why any retail merchant should sharply reduce his prices, and that is the need of liquidation even at a loss in order to meet bank obligations. The store which, without such compelling rea son, can now afford to make deep cuts in prices on staple goods, by that very fact makes public confession that it has been charging an illegitimate pro fit for its wares. Artificially High "Commodity prices in general are artificially high. They must come down. The sooner they come down the better for everyone But nothing Is gained by Ignoring the plain fact that wholesale prices and retail prices depend upon the cost of production. Until that comes, down, talk about a lower level of prices Is In vain. "Tho factors which will make for lower prices are undoubtedly gaining in momentum. Tho factors which make for higher prices are losing in momentum. But tho latter arc still in the ascendant, and no one can say when the price lowering factors will becomo dominant. "With food prices this fall remain ing as at present or even going slight ly higher, wagos can not come down. Thoro Is an absolute shortage of the moro Important raw materials. The tleup in rail and water shipping is depriving many mills of the materials they need to keep at work. It Is a certainty that In most lines production still lags behind demand. a "Fancy Goods Decline "One encouraging sign during the last sixty days is a greatly IncreaseJ demand for the less expensive grades of merchandise dependable quality goods at moderate prices and a re lative falling off in the demand for the higher priced "fancy" grades which have beon In such feverish demand for several seasons. It indicates tho mind of the buying public is changing. The avorage person seems to bo returning to the habit of seeking a good article at a fair price rather than accepting tho more expensive thing -without question." Prominent Speakers Among tho prominent speakers at tho convention, Mr. Chambers said, was Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas, Howard Marshall of New York, Senator Walter IS. Edge, of New Jersey and the leading business men of the country. In addition to government economic experts. A resolution was passed at the ses sions, according to Mr. Chambers, de claring against federal taxation as at present and especially directed against the excess profit and Income tax. Tho resolution stated that the excess pro fits tax encourages the conducting of business on a higher lovol of cost, places a premium on business extrava gance and is detrimental to the public interest. The resolution called upon congress to proceed at once to repeal tho present excess profit law. nn PUBLIC UTILITIES SEEK STATEMENT IN PLATFORM WASHINGTON, June 25.
