WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. Business and Industrial conditions during- the remainder of the calendar year will be marked by a "definite trend to a somewhat lower level of prices," according to a semi-annual report upon crops and business given out today by the United States chamber of commerce. ' The committee making the report added that the general financial opinion in the country was that the readjustment would be accomplished without "financial disorder or any sudden economic calamity." Tight money, unrest of labor. loosened bonds In some phases of eocial life, the Russian-Polish war and the high cost of necessities are enumerated as disturbing business factors but in the opinion of the i committee there is no need for the country to become panicky. i Definite Tread Dlwernei. "Amid all the cross currents and eddies of the industrial situation i I definite trend seems to be slowly de 'velopinc toward a gradually increas ing: pain of supply on demand and a somewhat lower level of prices, tne committee reported. "Here and there mills have shut down. Here and there they are run ulnar on reduced time. . . . "The automobile industry seems to tie headed toward somewhat lessened output. Also the jewelry business in New England is Blowing- down. Con trariwise, paper mills are busy and full of orders. Equally is this true of metal lines. Gold Mining; Still Suffer. "Whether mining is busy and pros perous or the reverse depends upon the nature of the metal. Gold min ing still suffers from high cost of production and the stationary price of gold. Silver mining feels the ef fect of the decline in the price of sil ver. The price of zinc is low and the demand not equal to the possibilities of supply. Lead is higher because of increased demand. Copper is dull be cause of a supply not yet disposed of. Iron mining Is good. Phosphate mines in the south are doing well after many lean years. "Contraction in financial credits has put 'wildcatting' in the oil re gions out of business, which makes business there dull because supplies for drilling oil wells are no longer in demand. "Construction and building have slowed down because of high prices and scarcity of both labor and mate rials. . . . Big Crop Are Forecast. "The promise now, and It is almost fulfilled, is for 3,000.000,000 bushels of corn, 800,000,000 bushels of wheat, both winter and spring, and for a cotton yield of about 12,500,000 bales. Cotton, however, is not a safe reckon ing as yet. There will be more oats than last year and more tobacco . . . more potatoes more rice, about the largest crop on record. More sugar. both cane and beet, and especially a hay crop of such proportions as should have a marked effect in reducing the cost of livestock and of dairy and poultry products. "From every state and every section comes the complaint of the lack of cars as the greatest of all handicaps to the transaction of business and one of the moving causes of the con tinuance of high prices."

Despite one or two clouda that still nger on the political norizon, tne tmoxnhere at the foreign oince is filled with satisfaction over the dip lomatic triump achieved by Premier Millora-nd over Prime Minister Lloyd George and Premier Giolitti on tne Russian policy. French government oinciais ae clared that, as things are going now the treaty of Versailles may yet be saved. It is true that they admit that the troubles in upper Silesia, which the Germans in a semi-official note blame on the Poles and the inter-allied com mission, may militate against the Spa coal agreement. Versailles Pact Discussed. Without doubt it is the Berlin gov ernment's intention to use the de creased porduction of coal In that province as a pretext for demanding the revision of the Spa protocol. It s likewise true that Premiers Lloyd George and Giolitti, in a communique given out after their meeting at Lu cerne, spoke of moderation being nec essary in the execution of the er- sailles pact a reservation which the foreign office, the government and the press note with firm resentment The Petit Journal says bluntly that France cannot consent to any further relaxation of the demands made in the treaty, although,-it adds, no one in France wishes to impose fresh obli gatlons on Germany.
