There are many evidences that pro-
duction of the things needful to hu-
man comfort slowly but surely is over
taking consumption. The supply is
catching up with the demand. This
condition is not yet reflected in the
prices of things bought and sold be-
cause surplus products are being held
by spectators for the purpose of
maintaining or increasing the existing
quotations. But the time is coming
when some big speculator will become
alarmed, and conclude that it is time
10 unload. His example will be fol-
lowed quickly by others and there will
be a sudden and tremendous slump.
In that day many dealers In articles
of everyday use will be hard hit and
there may even be a considerable in
crease in the number of business fail
ures but there is no help for 1t. When
prices start downward, 1t is inevitable
that everybody will wish to unload.
