WORLD RECESSION
CITED BY AYRES
BIames American SLUMP
With Deficiency in Flow
of Capital.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, March 15.-Col
Leonard P. Ayres asserted today that
Americas business relapse has In
duced an industrial downturn In the
rest Of the world.
1T has not yet developed to de-
preston proportions abroad, but
decline is clearly under way" the
economist said in the Cleveland Trust
Co.'S monthly business bulletin
United States business, he said, is
suffering from financial anemia-a
deficiency in the flow Of new busi-
ness capital
THE capitalistic system requires q
continuous flow of new capital, and
in our case the flow has become in
adequate, and business stagnation has
resulted.
There are two main sources of new
business capital. One consists of the
internal savings of business These
are funds companies earn and plow
back into their own operations in the
form of replacements, additions and
betterments of plant and equipment.
"A second source is new capital
raised by the sale Of securities. This
capital comes from the external say
ings of others. t"
Under present conditions internal
savings are CONSTRUCTED because the
Government has imposed heavy, pro-
gressive taxes on undistributed earn
lngs Of corporations. The volume Of
earnings has been reduced through
sudden increases in wages and amounts
retained have been cut down by the
new taxes.
THE flow of new capital raised by
sale Of securities has. been reduced by
rigorous new restrictions on issuing
OF new securities. The market for
new securities has been restricted BY
increases in capital gains taxes and
advanced surtaxes on the higher in
dividual incomes. These restrictions
have restrained capitalists from taking
risks and investors from being venture
some"

WHOLESALE INDEX
TURNS DOWNWARD
Fertilizer Association Estimates
Average at 1854, Against 1858
in Previous Week.

The general level of wholesale COM
modify prices was lower in the week
ended March II, following advances
in the two preceding weeks, as meas
ured by the index compiled by the
National Fertilizer Association. This
index last week declined to 764 from
1853 in the preceding week. A month
ago it stood at 1855 and year ago at
878, based on the l926-1928 average
as 100.
The general trend of prices was
downward during the week. with Of
the II principal group indexes de-
clining. Lower quotations for several
important foodstuffs resulted in a
moderate decline in the food group
average: the group index, however, is
still above the low level reached in
the first half of February.
Price changes in farm products were
again mixed, with grains and cotton
showing further declines while the
live stock average advanced slightly to
the highest point recorded by it this
year. In the textile group higher
prices for wool and silk practically
offset the effect of declines in cotton,
hemp and jute, resulting in a frac-
tional drop in the index.
A decline in the fuel price index,
which is now at the lowest level
reached since 1887, was brought about
by receding prices for crude petroleum
and fuel OIL
Lower prices for steel scrap, tin and
zinc took the metal average to a new
low point for the current recession.
The building material index declined
to the lowest point reached in the past
year as result of weakness in paint
materials. Declines were also regis
tered during the week in the indexes
representing the prices of chemicals
and drugs, and of fertilizer materials.
