There has been more or less
talk in financial and trade circles
regarding what is known as the

niled 4 forecast based upon the
study or the subject by its experts
and gives the following outline
covering recent trade reports and
other sources of information.
Those who gained their ideas
OF the business cycle before the
war are somewhat baffled in at,
tempting to forecast the trend Of
business under credit system
which is regulated with q view to
smoothing out the peaks and
valleys of trade flun iilIls. They
have a mechanical idea of the
business cycle.
f.When the stock market reaches
d peak and suffers a aTasts u.
lapse, they accept such a collapse
az d harbinger of q period OF bust
ness depression, Before the war
such q conclusion was usually
justified. Under the old banking
system, expansion proceeded until
it reached an extreme limit OF
credit distension; then followed a
period Of credit restriction and
year OF trade reaction

tenn, however, seredit is managed

to expect such persistent and such

At present writing such a naillens
iuna of stabilized trade activity has
not been reached. The index of
general business in the cycle chart
continues to exhibit substantial
fluctuations. The steadiness OF
this curve, however suggests
