STATISTICS SHOW
STERILIZATION IS
BEING EFFECTED
Harvest of December Reports
Shows Upward Trend of
Business,
By DIR. LEWIS H. HANNEY.
Director Of the Bureau of Business
Research, New York University.


Research, New York University.
NEW YORK, Jan. ALREADY the
December crop OF statistics is begin
ming TO be harvested. We can now
get a better slant on the trend of
business than could the long range
prophets who have been deluging as
With forecasts for 1924.
For one thing, there is the months
record of business births and deaths.
viii confess that the rather ominous
growth in failures in October and
November worried me somewhat, and
awaited the December reports with
concern.
Better Business Expected
Rarely does the volume Of new en-
terprises rise sharply two months in
succession unless better business is
in prospect. Almost never does it so
rise at the same time failures are de
creasing unless the outlook is bright.
! Other data are furnished by the in
cexes of prices and interest rates
The Dun index of wholesale prices
showed a small decline of only five
tenths Of a percent in December.
That suggests a price level which Is
practically stationary.
Ali this indicates that the long
fall in prices which began last April
has ended and been followed by
series of narrow fluctuations that
mean sterilization.
Anyhow, for the present we have
plenty of easy money. which means
clear business skies. Whoever heard
ot anything but better business with
rrices firm to rising and money. grow
ing easier?
On the production side comes 4
trusty index Of business in the shape
of pig iron production. Beginning
IN July, the average daily production
of that basic metal declined steadily
through November. It has traced
the business cycle accurately.
In December the average daily pro
ductior of pig iron was 1925 tons.
That figure is a little less than in No
vember, but December is usually and
normally on a considerably smaller
daily basis.
Pig Iron Output Increases
In a word. for the first time for five
months the rate of production Of our
most important metal moved upward
All the figures I have mentioned
show that last month industry and
finance were just about where they
were IN December. 1922. They have
. fallen from the peak of last spring.
and are now stabilizing at last year

able upturn gets under way, there
