The business upturn Of the last month
fs described as due in a substantial

But at the same time this same fear

In view of this aspect Of imitation
these banking quarters say that recent

men that the inf1ationary powers
granted by Congress would be used with
prudence and restraint should be def
I1tely constructive.
Nevertheless, they find that much un-

Prices Still Low.
At the same time 1t is pointed out
that actual advances In commodity
prices have not gone far in restricting
the downward course Of the last two
years. Cotton has not yet topped last
6eptember's best price. Wheat has risen
20 levels that were considered extremely
low less than two years ago. Copper is
still under average costs of production
