Forecasters in the food trade and other retailers predict possible declines in general price levels, though uncertainty clouds the outlook. Merchants report consumer cutbacks, eroding savings and income, threatening mass production and distribution.

The coming months will reveal if inflation has peaked, but American business will continue fighting the price problem.
Don E. Gilman of the Western Oil and Gas Association argues there is no near term danger of US oil or gasoline shortage. He cites end of 1947 reserves up by 705 million barrels from 1946 and plans to drill 35,000 wells in 1948. He notes alternative hydrocarbon sources and coal and shale conversions as long term supply, and says concerns were misreading an artificial shortage.
