SOUND RECOVERY
BASIS IS HAILED
National City Bank Cites Re.
turn to Equitable Price
Rates.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 4-Re-
establishment Of equitable price rela-
tionships. one of the major economic
gains of 1886, provides a sound base
for further industrial and business re-
covery, the National City Bank said
today in its monthly letter.
1T is evident" the bank declared,
that q practicable working balance
has been reached between q good
many costs and prices, incomes and
debts, and other economic relation.
ships, and that this lays the ground
for further gains toward full activity.
1t places prosperity within reach, II
all the members Of the economic So
ciety recognize the conditions and
abide by them.
Emergency Passed.
1.-THE emergency has passed, and the
problem is to get away from emer-
gency policies back to the regular
self-supporting activities of ball
anced system; to put every possible
worker into a job where he will help
the whole situation instead of being
burden to it.
Free from interference from with
out the economic system. and from
fresh disturbance Of equilibrium with
in it. business itself will assuredly
accomplish this purpose"
In the industries the letter con-
tinued, endless technical progress has
been made. permitting them, while
paying higher wages, to set prices
which would sell goods; and the wear
and tear Of the depression and un-
satisfied wants have built up deferred
needs, which will require increased
manufacturing activity and greater
consumption Of raw materials as the
recovery makes headway.
"Unquestionably the rise in staple
commodity prices has been one Of the
most important developments of 1895,
and one holding great promise for
1887"
The major problem Of 1887, the
bank declares, has to do with main
tenance Of the price equilibrium.
Labor Threats Feared.
IF the recovery in agriculture,
which adds to the cost of living, is
made the basis of further wage claims
which result in price increases, the
balance may be disturbed by . rise
in industrial prices to higher levels
than consumers can pay. Already
there are apprehensions as to recent
price advances in manufactured goods,
which have not yet been tested on the
ultimate consumers; and also as to
the level Of costs in the building in
dustry. with both materials and wages
rising.
Moreover. strikes slow down re-
covery. They disrupt production.
spread unemployment and reduce
purchasing power, and they raise costs
no matter what the outcome. The
shutdowns caused by the labor trou-
bles in the automobile industry will
close down parts manufacturers. sus-
pend the flow of materials and throw
labor out Of work over q widening
area. The situation threatens to
check the recovery"
