Wages Payable is a liability account that records wages that a company owes but has not yet paid. A decrease in this account more than likely signifies payment of those wages.
About the only other "decrease" which is generally a rarity, is if the account was increased accident by an amount that the company did not owe and there was an adjusting entry made to record that error.
