pOratiOns stocks of railroad and pub
lie utility corporations, and many
commodities.
What does this drop mean? Tc
that question the answer of business
men, spectators, Commentators and
academic authorities on economics
and finance is practically unanimous
unanimous but not conclusive, MOI
informative. Almost with one voice
their answer to questions about the
meaning Of the price drop is How
I wish I knew" Rarely in the pres.
ence Of any financial or economic
phenomenon has there been such
unanimity Of puzzlement.
In the speculation about the mean
ing and causes OF the drop, one feature
is generally present. Practically all
agree that one of the causes-though
| only one in considerable number
is overbuying of commodities that
took place last Spring. About last
Much business men and others, antic-
ipating a rise in prices, bought goods
beyond their immediate needs. Now,
in disappointment, they either sell OF
refrain from new buying. The result
is lower prices. But let it be repeated
that this cause Of the drop Is, by
practically universal judgment, only
one Of several causes, and that many
Of the other causes are mysterious and
not generally agreed upon.
JObIess Rise,
What is the inference with respect
to imitation? We have seen, last
March. much overbuying in anticipa-
ton of initiation. Then we have seen
the imitation not take place, and We
have seen drop in prices because
the initiation did not arrive. Do we
then conclude the possibility of in
flation is past? To that question, also,
the most nearly universal answer is
How I wish knew"
For tentative and partial answer
to the question about future imitation,
turn to another phase of the recent
drop. Consider now, not the causes
of the drop but the effects of it. or
what may be expected to follow from it.
Frequently, but by no means al
ways, prices on the markets are a
barometer. Frequently severe drop
in prices on the markets means that
drop in volume and activity Of gen.
eral business will occur a little later.
Consider the possibility that there
is ahead drop in volume and activity
OF general business corresponding to
the drop that has already taken place
in prices. If there should be a set
back in business of this degree, two
results would follow. One would be
increase OF unemployment. The
other would be decrease in the guam
tity of tax revenue turned into the
Treasury next year.
If these two conditions come about
the administration would be faced
next year by greater unemployment
and therefore by greater need of
money with which to take care of un-
