BUSINESS BOOM
FORETOLD BY MEYER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-"Business
Is going to boom soon," Eugene Mey-
er said today.
Mr.. Meyer is head of the war fl
nance corporation, the clearing house
through which the administration
hopes to straighten business affairs
for the march to normally.
IF you stand on the fringe of the
woods" he said, you can see bus
mess man bust his way out every lit
tie while. For a minute he looks
around as if dazed. Then he gives
shout of triumph and dashes off
in bee line toward the open ground
OF profits and prosperity.
Consider these factors: Bond prices
are more firm. Congress is about to
take action on tax revision. Prices
of many commodities have hit bottom
long since and now are on the up
grade. Cotton, for instance, advanc-
ed s. a bale the other day. 1t is
true the price again f1uctuated. But
there are indications that all prices
are becoming more and more stabil-
lied.
Perhaps the biggest single factor
which now would contribute toward
a return to prosperity would be the
resumption by dealers and manufac-
turers, jobbers and wholesalers, of
! the custom of carrying substantial
stocks of commodities to meet the
normal needs of the public Stocks

will sell $1,000 cars, with the fruit
better IN size and quality than ever
before.
Estimates of the Washington grain
crop have been increase from 49,
100000 to 6O,O00,0OO bushels since
the reapers started in the Walla Wal

much heavier to the bushel than
average. Farmers lately have sold
spot wheat at 81 bushel.
In spite of these facts, the tide of
retail trade and manufacturing has

the district. Commodity prices as a

but merchants declare the public
avoids buying in quantities unless
spurred by price cutting sales and
