BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Fair Prices

That modification OF a very old
principle in business. not by enact
ment, but by the force OF public
opinion and a rejuvenated sense Of
justice. will result from present
warning tendencies in prices is more
than probable.
Present high prices are based
upon the long accepted business ak
ION that the seller has the right
20 exact all the buyer will pay above
cost OF production.
Now while the law OF supply and
demand brings new producers into
the field. when the demand outruns
supply ard properly curtails pro
duction when supply exceeds de-
mand. thereby stabilizing the mar
ket in conditions like the present.
where com petition virtually ceases.

Doubtless much work now contem-

Corporations and investors show a
growing willingness TO commit
themselves at present prices. They
rely upon high rents during the
next five or TO years to compensate
for any loss incident 10 an eventual
decline in costs Money for building
purposes is somewhat more album

FOREIGN TRADE
The Edge Bill

Passage of the Edge bill marks
tho first really serious attempt TO
strengthen foreign exchange and
afford European countries mea-
sure Of relief. 1t is the most i'm
portant single event on this side of
the water affecting international
trade and reconstruction since the
armisticc.
Yet many bankers. while admit
ting that the law is practical, do
not anticipate immediate relief, due
to the indifference Of the investing
public-in this case largely cOmpos-
ed OF wealthy men-toward foreign
securities, however tempting. Since
