Business Vitality Being Renewed
BY FRANCIs b. sEssoN.

Among the factors Indicative of
progress already accomplished toward
the ultimate revival OF Industrial and
commercial activity in this county,
which we may confidently look for
ward 10. are the following;
/. The crux of the deflation Of
credit and prices has already been
passed, and without financial panic
>. Il appears that III bulk of the
denation OF prices has already been
accomplished. Wholesale prices are
declining at a greatly reduced rate as
compared with the decline of a few
months ago. A number OF commodi-
lies are already selling at less than
pre-war prices. Retail prices now are
declining more rapidly than wholesale.
These various developments in the
price situation together mean that we
arc really approaching a relative stab
Iizztion OF prices.
J. Wages are declining. although
more slowly h prices have declined
This is a familiar experience in pc
RODS OF declining prices. II is TO be
expected that wages will lag some
what behind prices. n cause OF
qualification, however, lies in the TACT
that. on the whole. labor is accepting
reductions in wages without an exces-
sive degree of resistance.
4. The banking position is steadily
improving. The reserves OF the Fed
eral Reserve banks are higher than
they have beer in a long time Loans
are reduced. borrower, interest rates
are declining, as Is seen in h case OF
the Federal Reserve banks discount
-ates for commercial paper. In time
IL Is reasonable TO suppose that the
bank rate reductions will be reflected
In further reduction in outside rates.
