INDUSTRY NOT NORMAL.
Production Must Increase 40 Per

The countTy's industries are still oper-

matter Of fact. they viii have TO show
an average gain OF 90 per cent in pro-
duction in order 70 bring their output up
to what it was in the year 1907.
Incidentally, while there has been an
improvement Of something like . per cent
in industrial activity from the low level
reached in the early part Of last year.
the quotations OF many securities show
advances ranging from 50 to 50 per cent.
It would seem from this that business

in activity can be expected before spring.
