Trade and Finance
Developments Of the Week
and Their Bearing on
the Outlook

When stock market prices rise buoy
antly and display sustained strength.
that is supposed to denote confidence in
the stability OF business. When thew
fall. the opposite view is taken. When
the market hesitates, as it has been
dong during the last week, it usually
denotes confusion of opinion regard
ing the outlook Current hesitation and
growing conservatism in making specu-
lative commitments In all the financial
markets, where there has been notable
siackening in the volume Of ACTIVITY,
doubtless reflect increasing concern
over the industrial and commercial sit
uation. The belief is spreading that de-
fiation Is getting under way, and wheth
er or not 1t is justified the recent de
vclopments in the financial and indus
trial world. including chiefly an almost
unprecedented shortage of credit ana a
critical labor situation. have served to
heighten the feeling of uncertainty. In
view Of this it is only natural that there
should be falling off in speculative
activity.
