In reply to your inquiry regarding my
opinion Of the general business outlook
for the near future I can say with con-
Viction that am optimistic. BY
optimism do not mean belief that
all business will suddenly increase by
leaps and bounds, but that our economic
forces are being stabilized and business
conditions are improving instead of
retrograding. Considering your three
queries specifically:
''Will the 1914 normal prices ever be
reached again?"
Prices will never get back to normal
If some period of low prices in the past
is arbitrarily set as normal" Our
present prices are as low as they would
be II the normal development OF industry
through the laws of supply and demand
had not been interrupted by the great
war. Both prices and wages are high er
than they We're several years ago, but
wages have increased by a greater ratio
consequently merchandising conditions
which prevailed prior to 1915, when pro-
duction costs were relatively less. have
passed never to return. War and post
OF commerce ard industry, have made IL
impossible to reproduce merchandise al
prices prevalent in 1914.
DO present prices of merchandise
speak of undue infiation?'
The present prices of commodities
commonly known as dry goods. mems
ana wonen's wearing apparel and cloth
lis accessories, are, in my Judgment
thoroughly Debated. One cannot con-
ceive OF many lines of merchandise con-
tlnuing at present low priced levels
Ihere may be spasmodic recessions
brought about by manufacturers or re-
tallers disposing of their stock in order
70 meet pressing financial demands
However. prices on the whole should
average higher than at present
what ia your view of the general
trade outlook?'
We hear of business being bad. fac
tories shut down and trade dull. Our
experience indicates that people will buy
IL prices are right. Manufacturers have
seen the pressing need Of Keeping their
organizations together during times OF
depression and are accepting lower
profits. As result prices are now
lower than they have been for several
years. They average at least one-third
less than the current prices of 1920. As
result of lowered prices retailers are
selling approximately 90 per cent. more
units than were sold in 1920. Next
spring the average merchant should ex-
pect to sell about 10 per cent. less in
dollars than he sold in the spring OF
l92l. when his sales in most instances
were the largest ever known in the his
tory of retail merchandising.
l base my optimism on the security
hafs L.,
ability of the people to buy. Buyers
have grown accustomed to spending, and
the will continue to spend. The spend
ing habit has become universal
The railroads are fast regainlng their
old footing, due TO their return to the
management Of the men responsible FOR
their success prior to Government con-
troll. With the rank and file willing to
share in the responsibility of operating
railroads on an economical basis i'm
proved transportation conditions will ne
reflected In various directions which will
make for general betterment.

ATLANTIC TRAVEL
SHOWS DECREASE,
Inward Decline as Compared
With 1920 Is 1871 for
Steerage.

Figures of the transatlantic passenger
lines for 1920 and 1921 show the ex-
tent to which travel has been affected
by the immigration restriction law,
which is now being considered by the
House Committee on immigration. Dur
ing the current year which had been
expected to pass all records since 1913
for passenger travel. and in preparation
for which the lines rushed to compile
ton or reconditioned several of the
largest ships on the ocean, passages
booked to and from Atlantic ports
showed an actual decrease over the pre-
cedng year.
Definite figures on the increased ton
mage in service on the transatlantic
passenger lanes during 1921 are not
available, but FIVE ships alone would
account for about 117.000 gross tons.
They are the Paris. $4,000 tons: George
Washington. $4,000 tons America, 22,-
600 tons; Scythia, 10000 tons. and
Cameronia, 1900 tons. In addition,
many smaller craft were placed in SER
vice.
The decrease in travel to American
ports on the Atlantic is clearly shown
in the following tabulation of the pas
senger lines. giving separate figures for
NSt, second and third class:
The New York herald., 1921-12-28

The figures for both years are brought
up to December 2S. The increase in in
ward travel in first and second cabins,
amounting to 761 and 23.619 respectively.
Is more than balanced by the decline
in third class, which is mainly immi-
grant travel, amounting to 1871. Fig
ures on outward bound travel show
minor increases:
