WHAT PRICE REDUCTIONS MEAN
Price reduction.<f|.re eagerly sought by the public, but the public seldom
possesses a true appreciation of the full force of the cuts now conipncmsing to
appear because of the Ippcurent deception in the percentage quotations from
which public informatiiji is usually derived. This fact is particularly called
to public attention l>> .Recent issue of the Dry Goods Economist, which points
out that price reduction is apt to appear much smaller than it actually is.
For example, say the tap price of an article was reached through advances
aggregating 100% overlfhe low figure previously obtaining. A cut of only
50% on that top price |d«*s not leave the price still 50% higher tfhan before,
as many infer, bu1 in rielity brings the selling price of the goods back to the
previous low level.
Similarly a reduction of 25% from top prices does not mean a quarter
off that top price but rally indicates that the price has dropped halfway hack
to the old low figure.
AMERICA GAINING TRADE SUPREMACY
Strong indications of growing Amcririui salts supremacy in foreign
markets are disclosed if recent trade journals, particularly in the trend of af
fairs in IV Eastern markets. Inusmuch as England has at all times been
America's most formulaic cutmpetitor in these mflrkets, it is illuminating to
learn that comparison pf the demand for American goods as against. British
articles of the same chHnctcr reveals that this country Inis supplanted Eng
land in many lines. An instance of the progress which American goods are
making in the Par East is found particularly in the sale of locomotives. In
this field the British ntumfaoturers are losing out to America ra.pidly. In
South America also. American made locomotives are in greater demand that
the British, which pctqfcully held the entire mark'd before the war.
Following still farther Uhls indication of American goods coming into
hotter competition favor in foreign markets, it N interesting to note that com.
l>alaiU<>Ms of trade madeffy foreign trade experts of the Guaranty Trust «'o oi
New York, reveal that jftnerican wire nails are underselling the British pro
duct in the home nmrkMand compelling a reduction of British prices by t-n
pounds pet ton. Armfifean sheet bars are also offered in British nuirkctis at
a price below British potations. American agricultunil machinery also
finds a. ready sale in ulltyrrta of Great Britain, together with a wide variety of
other products in whiegin many instances have been supreme in the home

G MISAPPREHENSIONS
We believe that f* of the most beneficial functions of a newspaper
lies i»i its capacity for (lifeipation of on or anil misconception, particularly re
garding matters affectingthe communal oft- national .welfare.
For this rektson ^9 are publishing' elMowhere in this issue an arjblcl?
dealing with the Amorioaifted Cross, concerning the operations and functions
of whiich considerable >nWPrchension prevails in the minds of many la.-.:;
Within recent peiMs we have heard tihe Red. Cross characterized by
some who should know biter as a "grafting*' orgnufstutlon • Others, some of
whom aiv above the avei& intelligence and usually well informed, are mak
ing highly erroneous and misleading assertion that "not more than ten or
fifteen cents of each doll;t|jiven to the Red Cross gets to those for wham the
money was intended." ‘if
