Taking all this Information and reasoning
from past experience. I certainly believe that
business depression exists to-day and that II is

months. But that this depression is likely TO be
very severe I doubt. 1 rather expect Il will go
less far than on similar occasions in the past
and that the recovery viii be quicker I base
this judgment upon the fact that there has al

and away more secure against panic than we
were q few months ago
y also base Il on the fact that the crops OF
the country are likely to realize more than the
