NORMAL BUSINESS
IS ON WAY, MELLON
INFORMS CONGRESS
Regular Increase Expected to
Follow Recession of
Last Year.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Although business showed a reces
sion during the last year, it now Is ap
preaching a normal expectancy, with
sound underlying fundamentals. Sec
retary Mellon said today in his annual
report to Congress.
Under the heading of "The present
situation Of business" the Treasury
Secretary asserted that business activ
ity began in the Spring months Of this
year to fall below the totals Of last
year. AS result of this recession, he
said, business is NOW being conducted
on basis that conforms more nearly
to the normal expectancy as judged
from the regular rate of growth Of the
country that has prevailed on the
average for some years"
while business is not as active al
In most Of 1926. 1t can hardly be said
to be subnormal, and the underlying
fundamentals appear to be sound he
added. Another indication Of healthy
business conditions is the recent re
covery in commodity prices. due In
the main to the rise in agricultural
prices"
Credit conditions were described as
sound, as indicated by the handling OF
the peak load Of crop financing with
out strain and with interest rates cas-
ing in the middle Of October.
Survey Shows Conditions.
Explaining that the Treasury ac
cumulated vast amounts OF informa
ton on business and finance, Secre'
tary Mellon said survey of this data
suggested the following conclusions as
to business in the past year:
"a large volume of business was
done simultaneously with declining
commodity prices-an unusual comb1.
nation of circumstances,
1.-THE volume of new construction re-
manned large, as engineering, indus.
trial and public works projects were
in sufficient volume practically to off
set a decline in construction of dwell
ings.
High wages, due to increased aver.
age productivity per worker, and
lower living costs, due to declining
prices, resulted in a sustained pur.
chasing power for a large variety OF
consumers commodities.
Business was free from the accu.
mutation Of excessive inventories, ad-
vance ordering subject to cancellation
and unreasonable speculation in COM
modities, and a spirit of caution pre-.
vailed generally among business men.
Automobile production continued at
pace somewhat reduced from the
