NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Preliminary
estimates In January of 4 record year
for dry goods distribution were Scaled
downward at the end Of the second
quarter. BY November all prospects
for such an attainment had vanished,
~ production totals for the 10 months
touched the 1886 level Or fell below 1t,
despite the new monthly peaks sstab-
lished for some divisions during the
first quarter, according to 4 survey by

With recorders restricted and spring
commitments postponed by declining
quotations on major staples, Wholesale
volume was cut to even to 10 per
cent more than in the 1895 period.
Each Government estimate Of the
cotton crop this season placed the
yield ct q higher figure than for the
one preceding. with the releass on
November setting the outturn at 49,
243,000 bales, the largest on record.
As quotations on the raw staple kept

D new depression was not getting
under way In the United States.
The current business recession ~
not q new depression" he said, but

recovery phase Of the interminable
old depression that has been with W

Col. Ayres' statements were In the

Of the concern.
This is the sixth serious setback
since the bottom was reached in 1882.
We have never completed the recovery
from the great depression"
The economist said the cause Of the
latest recession rs that business men
have again lost confidence In the
prospects for profits. Trade ana
industry prosper only when employ
ment Is general and pay rolls are
large. These conditions exist only
when the prospects for profits are
bright.
THE cure cannot be successfully
sought In monetary and credit stimu-
lants. but 1t could he found through
removal Of business barriers. A res.
toration OF railroad and utility pur-
chasing power would do it."
Col. Ayres said, There Is not much
use in attempting to Judge whether
this downturn will probably Be long
and serious. or brief and moderate.
The outcome depends on actions and
policies that will be decided in Wash
ington.
"The imperative requisite for re.
covery Is . renewed now Of corporate
financing for expanding enterprise.
The degree Of that expansion will
determine how much unemployment
We shall have, and that Is our most
