1 adversely affected: This is correct. If something is adversely affected, it experiences a negative outcome. Example: Children are adversely affected by parents who smoke. It is a useful "word-partnership" that appears a lot. In the letter, Bruno hopes that Warbuckle's "sales weren't too adversely affected", which means he hopes Warbuckle's sales didn't suffer too much.
2 infinite wisdom: "Wisdom" is common sense or good judgment, often gained by experience. Example: Fortunately, I had the wisdom to start saving money for my old age when I was very young. The "word-partnership", "infinite wisdom" is often used in an ironic sense, as in the letter: "Krazy Gidyeon, in his infinite wisdom, has removed the page on his Website". Bruno really wants to say that Krazy Gidyeon is stupid!
3 pricing policy: A "policy" is a procedure or an approach. Therefore, a "pricing policy" is a company's strategy or plan or attitude to the prices they charge for their products. In the letter, Bruno reassures Warbuckle by writing "(Krazy Gidyeon's) pricing policy will respect our suggested list prices". This means that Gidyeon's approach to setting prices will conform to standard market practices.

The article mentions an "effect on consumer spending"

"Effect" or "affect"?

I drink a pint of whisky each morning, but it doesn't my work.
I drink a pint of whisky each morning, but it doesn't have an on my work.
The article mentions an "effect on consumer spending"

"Effect" or "affect"?

I drink a pint of whisky each morning, but it doesn't affect 1 my work.
I drink a pint of whisky each morning, but it doesn't have an effect 2 on my work.
1 affect: This is correct. The term "affect" is nearly always used as a verb. "To affect" means "to have an influence on someone or something". Example: The warm weather has AFFECTED the sales of ice cream OR That intelligent yet entertaining episode of Star Trek AFFECTED me deeply.
1 effect: This is incorrect. "To effect" can be used as a verb, but it is quite rare and formal. In this usage: "to effect" = "to achieve or produce". Example: This publicity campaign is designed to EFFECT a change in people's attitudes to drinking and driving.
2 effect: This is correct. Except for some rare exceptions, the term "effect" is nearly always used as a noun. "An effect" = "a consequence or result". Example: Sport has many beneficial EFFECTS on the body. In the article we read that (to paraphrase) "anxiety about the economy is having an EFFECT on the spending habits of consumers". Normally, the verb "to AFFECT" can be replaced by the phrase "to have an EFFECT".
2 affect: This is incorrect. Apart from very specialized psychology vocabulary, the term "affect" is never used a noun.
