Only as this Encouragement is rem
edicd can international business pro
gress toward normalcy. Within our own
borders probably the most important
factors retarding business Improvement
arc the inequality and instability Of
wage and price levels. The process of
adjusting wages and prices first in
one line and then in another is the
only ono by which we can get back
toward a state Of economic equilibrium
but the disturbance of wage and price
levels causes business men TO proceed
with great caution and to frequently
take their bearings to sec whether tho
movement in thci- particular inc has
not outstrippcd tho progress of read
justmcnt in other more or less related
lines.

Effect on Prices

There arc men of good business iudg-
mcnt who think that measures which
will bring about rising values for de-
pressed ourrcncies will force Europe to
face severe problems during the pro
cess of dcfatioN, and that with the
inauguration Of measures OF this char
actcr there Will be slump in prices
such as we in America have gone
through the last year. There IS no
gainsaying the fact that any sharp rise
in the value of Europe's moneys will
bring fall in prices and uncertain
ties regarding individual solvencN. But
il must be remembered that in any
process of deAation the gold prices of
goods viii not be materially affected.

debating currenccs that will go down.

Slump in Exports

70. The export merchant has not only
had his troubles in selling goods, but
ras had to suffer the results of period
o. intense pesSlmism among banking
interests about export business that re
suited for a time in so serious n with
nrawal from the open discount market
an which the ooHntry's foreign business
j. largely financed to threaten not
only what foreign business we had, but
= $50 through the reaction upon home
markets to cndangcr the domestic stu
aton. All this Is in the past, and
presents q rather gloomy picture.
There is solid reason for the belief
that VIC arc now upon an upswiug in
our foreign trade and that what We
have experienced is only one of the
a distressing parts Of our share IN the
world wide readjustMent that had to
kc place. In the future Americas

J Crced.
Right at the moment the export
business Of this country is small in
comparison with the las' four or FIVE
wears, but It Is a substantial business
and what is going abroad is generally
being paid for promptly There is
fairly active inquiry for our manufac-
Iured products coming along, which is
regarded everywhere as q good sign
There IS little difference between the
foreign markets and our domestic mar
sets IN their capacity TO absorb goods.
