MONEY AND MARKETS

The downward revision of puops
continues to be the factor dominating
the general business outlook. The
movement is natural and inevitable
corrective of the unstable condition
created in the previous period OF ,is-
ing prices, reckless public buying and
widespread speculation. Falling
prices are not a recent development.
Before the close of 1919 the prices
Of number of important commoul les
had begun to decline. By sprinr of
1920 definite downward trend had
been established. Since then the
movement has been accelerated, until
within recent weeks it has forced
general recognition that the period of
excessive buying at rising prices has
definitely ended. Business must now
go forward on lower price level.
This readjustment cannot be effected
without embarrassment in individual
cases. 1t will be effected, however,
without serious general result by
reason of the inherent strength of the
credit situation and the assured co.
operation Of the banks with business.
The banks are amply prepared to
finance business while it is working
out more normal basis of operation
and a stable level of prices. This
process will require the employment
of a large volume of credit. lnven-
tories cannot be disposed of abrupt
Iy. In many lines, owing to gen
eral indisposition to buy, their liqui-
dation must be effected gradually.
Meanwhile. they must be financed.
The long run effect of that downward
price movement, however, will be to
ease the credit situation. The free
dom from disturbance with which
the readjustment is effected depends
largely on the willingness of business
to recognize the changed conditions
Sterilization on a new price basis
does not involve return to the pre-
war price level. For nearly two de-
cades prior to the war, prices had been
! rising steadily. On economic grounds
