Prices Advance.
After holding aloof for the greater
part Of the week, traders entered the
market in; full force. and bought up
the standard railroad. Industrial, and
copper stocks as rapidly as they
were offered. and prices continued
vigorously on their upward course.
The net result has been a further
marking upward Of the average for
the year, and a notable addition to
the list OF stocks which have been
placed In high. priced territory.

be noted that one prominent specu

its most aggressive flight into high

Of the company had definitely stated
that the matter of special dividend
had not been considered. There were
periods when the immediate trend Of
market prices was governed by the

Country Now at Critical Period
Of Recovery, However,
Il Cautions.

Business IL better, and there IL

which approaches optimism. says
the National Bank of Commerce
of New York. Physical evidence is
loadings Of revenue freight now
near their record levels. While
part of this Is due to gains In load
lngs Of coal loadings of merchan-
disc and miscellaneous freight are
in excess Of .loadings for the cor
responding weeks both OF last
year and 1920. There have been
considerable increase in the rates
Of production in most lines Of
manufacture. Some industries are
handicapped by car shortage and
others, notably the automobile
manufacturers and makers of tires
and automobile accessories are ex-
periencing the usual seasonal slack
ening Of demand.
Considering the country as q
whole. retail and wholesale trade
probably are better than a year
ago, but conditions vary good
deal In the different localities. In
the cotton States.S where the crop

ment has taken place.
Expansion Sound.
Thus far. business expansion has
been on sound lines.
The critical stage of the recovery
from the depression Of 1920-21 has
now been reached, however. and
some tendencies Of a disturbing
character are the rapid upward
movement Of prices and OF wages.
During the ten years from 1908 to
1918, comparative peace prevailed
throughout the world, and while
temporary depressions were expert
enced, II is probable that the gen
eral level Of comfort was hlgher
than at any preceding perioa.
During those ten years the rise
In the general price level OF the
United States as measured by the
wholesale price index of the United
states Bureau Of Labor Statistics
was ls per cent. Despite the gen
eral prosperity, and the fact that
price increases were fairly uniform
for the main groups OF commodi'
ties, this rise In prices was regard
ed as so disturbing as to give rise
to numerous Investigations OF the
causes Of the high cost OF living
and Its resultant unrest.
The same wholesale price index
shows an increase Of IL per cent IN
the eight months from January
1922, to August, 1922. Wages are
also rising. As individual employ.
ers and groups OF industries BID
aeainst each other, wage increases
are certain to be felt In stimulated
retail and Wholesale trade. There
Ia danger that as a result of this
and some other factors, the prices
OF consumers goods will rise SO
