! way TO speed general prosperity would
be to have credit more abundant more
accessible and more cheaD. Those who
know the cause and effect of redundant
money find il difficult to combat the pub
lie fallacy regarding an abundance of
credit especially as periods OF Imitation
in the past with an abundance OF
credit are remembered by the public as
periods of prosperity 1t will readily
be recalled how in 1920 the popular ap-
Droval of imitation was of all the eco
nomic heresies the greatest to combat.
and memory is still keen of the popular
cutlery that arose against the measures
which were finally enforced to check
that infia ton.
Desire to chea pen money is constant

may argue that continuing low rates
have an evil effect, yet from the rank.
and file of people there is bound to be
approval of any suggestion that the
banks make it more easy for borrowers
to negotiate loans. Judging by concrete
example. the average citizen inferS that
the greater the volume of credit released
by the banks the greater the benefit to
all. The inVariable personal experience
is that the mere money one has the
more prosperous one is. and the average
citizen therefore concludes from his own
experience that the more money there
is in the country, and the more credit
there is. the richer everybody for that
reason must be.
Hence. in every consideration Of 'the
money situation, what the banker needs
to oppose is the view that abundance of
credit alone means prosperity, and he
needs further to oppose any unnatural
movement that will cheaper money too
much and make it easy for borrowers
to venture along untried and hazardous
lines

Dun & Co.'S Review Notes Long
Continued Buying for Imme-

BONDS.

The effect Of the lcng-continued policy
of buying only for immediate needs in
trade is now more plainly seen in de
clining commodity prices, in the opinion
OF R q. Dun Co, expressed in their
weekly review of business
Variable weather has been detri-
mental to spring retail demand says
the review. but other factors account
for the curtailed cotton goods output
the continued dullneSS of the hide trade
and allied branches the inactive market
FOR pig iron and the small volume of ad-
vance orders in many channels. Instead
or taking on new vigor with the change
In seasons. purchasing in many instances
remains hesitant, and the first quarter
OF the year is closing without the gen
eral gains that had been hoped for.
The lack of buoyancy in business as
whole is partly due to political un-
ceTtainues, which cause confusion and
affect sentiment. and in some cases COM
mltmentS are being deferred becau use of
the easing of prices and the increased
reports stress the low state of merchan-
disc stocks. but there is little disposition
10 build UP supplies against possible
futuTe needs, and some manufacturers
and distributors are making price con-
cessonS in an effort to stimulate de-
mand.
With all the evidence of cautious
buying. however. there is a very large
turnover of goods for current consump-
tion, and some of the statistical meas
ureS of commercial movements compare
favorably with the best previous. records
Conditions show many contraSts., but
average daily bank eleariugs hold at a
high level. freight car loadings are un-
precedented for this period, there is un-
usual activity in the building industry
and the principal steel producer con-
tinues to operate practically at capac-
ity"
In the weekly list of commodity prices
quoted in Dun's Review fffty-seven de-
ciines appear this week, against twenty
two advances. This compares with sixty
one reductions and twenty-three in
creases last week, and forty-five de-
clines and thirty-four advances in the

market continued fairly active.
though the demand is very irregular
and prices are showing some signs
OF. weakness. The railroads are tax
ing large quantities of rails and
other materials and in some other
lines the demand is quite active. but
on the whole huyers are inclined to
be. conservative and the market is
feeling the influence of the tendency
toward caution existing in. other di-
rections. Pig iron is very quiet and
prices are inclined to sag.
No improvems nj in the demand for
copper for either domestic or foreign
account has been reported during the
week. Export business has been re-
stricted by further fluctuations in the
London market and foreign exchange.
and buyers for home consumption
are evidently waiting for more settled
conditions. Meanwhile. some little
selling pressure has developed from
second hands or custom SmelterS. and

condition. Consumers have been
good buyers on the recent break. but
offering by operators continue in eX-
cess of the demand and unfavorable
month end statistics are looked for.
Lead is unchanged but slightly
easier in tone. Stocks are small but
production promises to keep abreast
of requirements.
Zinc declined in sympathy with
weakness abroad, and prices were
largely nominal in absence of busi-
ness.
Antimony firmer. on strength in
