CHICAGO, July 2S.-The congressional
committee of which Hendrick B. Wright
is chairman, began its inquiry to-day in
to the causes of depression in trade and
industry. Lyman J. Gage, cashier of
the First National Bank, was the first
witness. He regarded the present supply
of money in the country as ample, al
though ten years back we had much
more money in circulation, yet the bank
ing business of Chicago is sounder to-day
than ever before. He thought the return
of prosperity began about eighteen
months ago, and the outlook now is very
favorable. He said that doubtless the
withdrawal of currency had operated to
| depress business the past ten years, but
had not operated so as to be very es-
sential factor. The depression was re-
action toward the normal standard, which
had been unnaturaily disturbed by war
and its results.
