There IN clear evidence Of this. despite the fact that
there is a good deal Of unemployment and a great deal
OF discussion about it. For several years past there
have been four fundamentals Of American prosperity
50 truly basal IN character that general business has
improved az declined about In proportion as their com
tined contributions have been favorable or unfavorablc.
or course. the first and foremost Of these four fac
tors is the condition Of ease and availability Of credit
accommodations. At the present time interest rates are
not quite 80 low rs they were during the latter part
of last year. but they are as nest reasonable levels
nevertheless. and credit accommodations are readily
available for business uses On easy terms.
The three other basal factors are the conditions in
the three fundamental ministries Of building ~construc-
ton, iron and steel. ard automobiles. In all Of these
activity has increased notably since the beginning Of
the new year. and is now az or close to record-breaking
figures.
Most Of the other i~Ep-rsant industries are not do
ing o. well as these three. This is reflected not mereiy
by the reports from the industries themselves. but also
by The records 81 car headings. which have been run
ming this year a little below the normal figures and
showing only slow improvement.
Despite e good deal Of unevenness in trade aud in
dustry and transportation the conditions and the pros
poets Of business are distinctly encouraging. Perhaps
sha most hopeful element Of all Is the marked activity
n iron and steel. for the products that this industry j.
turning ont are being purchased BY other industries
which do not placc orders for them unless and until
