' i foremost economic writers stand together on 3B majority of Americas ' the price question. They practically agree that prices have reached a new level and that they will remain on their new plane for some time to come. But with all these Indications to guldtb prospective buyer there still appears to be a marked degree of hesitancy when the time to buy t Is at hand. Probably the real reason that buyers are .not fully convinced about the price question Is because of the lack of authoritative Information regarding the present 'cpaomlcsltutloni The mind of the buying public.... Is being agitated also uy tne wide discussion of the price matter. However. before any final conclusion is reached it will pay those who are deliberately postponing their purchasing In anticipation of reductions, to analyse the fundamentals underlying the cause for the present price level. ' In comparing today's prices, prices are naturally brought to the mind, and It is here where the comparison Is net Justified because economic conditions are entirely different, Before the world eenfllat there was every .. , pr-w- half-milli- reason for the then satisfactory prices, but the way has brought about a daft nlte change In prices, as It has in so' many ei her vital things. Today the dollar haa a new form) a new meaning ta the earn Undaubt-ed- ly the most significant change in the deBaf is its reduced value lit that it will not buy as tnuah as it did prior to the waft And the reaseq la easily and imply explained when the increased bank clearings and the many other evidences are considered. The mental picture is eemplete Whan We fully realise the fact that a greutor number of dollars are in circulation. Today the circulation of money per capita is far greater than ever before, with the result that prices assume a new form. When there la a decided plenty ef anjr- thing it worth becomes lessened. So rules the lav of supply and demand. It is inherently natural to want what la scarce and to pay a higher price fef It. Diamonds hold their value beoause ef their scarcity, combined, of eeurse. with their desirable qualities. And so it is with money with the dell&fi The dollar has and always will have Its desirable qualities, but, unlike the diamond, its circulation haa increased unabated. This haa lemoned Its pure chasing power. With many dollars to trade with, everybody in the busi ness world, virtually speaking, has been more or less directly responsible let the present trend of prices. The cost of labor is higher than heretofore. II therefore follows that the goods labor manufaciuree must cost tpore to pro dues and sell. Food 'and clothing prices are also higher beoause labor coats more, and so Jt goes, one contingent upon the other, until the cycle of the ' present price level is complete. But with the present high prices there ia also an unparalleled era of prosperity in our midst. At no other time in the history of Amerioa have conditions been so favorable and have we had ao many opportunities at our command. Therefore, why should we procrastinate in our buying when all othe matters are in our favor? Prices will not come down for so long a time that it is almost beyond any one to say Just when. Buy now whatever is essential to your we! fare, for the value of an article is dependent always on its actual- - worth to you When you need it most. ' And if your procrastination is due to the belief that prices will soon descend it Is well to consider the oombtaed oplnlene of the many who have diligently analyzed the situation and who agree that prices have reached a new business level where they are bound to remain for an in definite period. The present trend of prices la toward, an. Incline, ' Many leading manufacturers have already announced a higher pries scale.
