"Ins support of the opinion, so ire auently expressed, that for some years the general drift of prcies both i'll this country and abroad will be downward the history of prices after the Ma peleenic and other wars is cited.
 ' Perhaps more convincing than this Argument from analogy is another.
 That with an enlarged productive capacity-partly through replacement of equipment destroyed during the war on the one hand, and t. deflation of monetary systems on the other, there will be operative a strong combination of world wide influences tending to re- duce general ices.
 Ut does not seem probable, however, that any early and sustained general re- cession from present levels will be dras- tic. And if effected gradually, decline in prices may be accompanied by gen orally prosperous conditions of indus try and trade.
 Tn 1922 prices as a whole in this country advanced ..lther steadily, and in 1923 they declined Both were pc riods of substantial prosperity.
 "The sharp curtailment of industrial production since March, accompanied in some cases by q reelection of inven- tories, is consistent with the approxi- mate stability of average prices in re- cent weeks.
 Twice during the last twelve months the downward drive yielded to consid- erable increases And it is not improb- able that an advance in the general price trend will soon be recorded again"
 9, The net of it all would seem to be that there is most unlikely to be any price movement drastic enough to in ferfere with the improvement in busi- ness now generally expected.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-02

''Not less imporant is the relation ship of one price to another. Only when prices are so related as to induce the fullest profitable utilization of capital and labor can the price structure be satisfactory.
 Insofar as current changes represent the restoration of more nearly normal relationship between the levels of vari- ous prices, therefore they should prove broadly beneficial.
 "A number of marked disparities in relative price levels has persisted, of course, but the actual discrepancies as between prices of farm products and of other commodities in the last few years have often been exaggerated.
 "One of the chief teasonl for the mis- apprehension is the practice so generally followed of measuring prices by the standard of the 1913 average merely be- cause that was the last pre-war year. It was a year, however, which, with most crop yields abnormally low, prices of agricultural products as compared with other prices were unusually high. Accordingly, comparison of subsequent prices with 1913 averages leads to an exaggeration of any general tendency of farm products to sell below so-called normal levels.

.5 The Guaranty Trust eompanys analysis goes on to say: Kissing prices are associated, in most minds, with stimulation of business ac- tivity, while declining prices suggest waning prosperity. Such justitca- tion for this view as can be clearly es- tabIished has been greatly over empha- sized. Prosperity which is dependant upon a rising scale of prices is neces- sarfly lacking in durability, and it often happens that only through a downward revision of prices can the industry and trade of country be harmonized with conditions elsewhere. All things con ssidered, high degree of stability in the purchasing power of money IS de- sirable for many reasons.
