Moody's Forecast

Inc possibility of q downward y,,ova

the trend of interest rates through
out the world being downward-
SOUND investment securities should
undergo a steady advance in pr;ces
curing 1921 which may extend to

creased purchasing power of invest
ment incomes.
Inc cause for the sudden reversal
IN general business conditions during
iszo is stated to have been that prices
oi commodities advanced more randi
~ than per capita incomes. The out.
look Tor 1921 is said to be. construc-
i've rather than destructive and q
rather optimistic note is struck in the
statement that while seemingly a
paradox, greater real prosperity
might exist during q long period of
oecllnins costs than during a period

during the next three or four months

there will be halt and some stabili-
cation.
touching upon the political stu
alton. it is remarked that strong.
practical and sane men are plentiful
among the Republicans and intelli-
gent efforts can be expected in solv-
ing our taxation problems, although
the unwieldy Republican majority
IN Congress may possibly result in
unscientific tariff changes and pos
slbly unsound adjustments in the
Federal Reserve System. The asser-
ton is made that while it is too
early to judge the ultimate results Of
the new railroad law, the recent leg
is!ation is fundamentally sound and
all danger of the railroad systems of
the country breaking into chaotic
wrecks has been definitely avoided.
II the situation develops as Mr.
Moody forecasts, the outlook is very
favorable for investors whose cap
ital is represented by old-line in
vestments. The definite prediction is
made that high grade bonds and well
protected preferred and investment
stocks will advance as interest rates
relax.
