The mossback had ono close friend

BANK EXPERTS SEE LIMIT
TO BUSINESS EXPANSION

NEW YORK, March 20-In discuss
ing output, trade and prices Ma
tional Bank of Commerce review
says:
with stable prices and wages,
there would be every reason to have
faith in an indefinite continuance of
business activity at present levels.
But prices of important commodities
and groups of commodities are rising
and they are rising rapidly. Wages
show a similar tendency.
"In this situation, 1t is pertinent to
inquire as TO exactly what is the sig
nificance of the frequent statements
10 the effect that further business. ex-
pansion is to be anticipated. Unless
there is available not only plant ca
pacity, but men to do the work,
higher prices cannot result in an in
creased physical volume of goods.
They merely represent bidding in an
effort to secure the supplies already
available. Rising prices under these
conditions do not indicate business
expansion. They are certain to have
as their aftermath curtailed purchas-
ing by domestic consumers and
lessened exports as result of do
mestic price level above that pre-
vailing in other countries"
