tary requirements will be during
the coming year. Nor is it pos
sible to evaluate the extent to
which these demands with high
est priority will encroach upon
the availability of merchandise
for civilian use.
Another unknown is the degree
to which excess purchasing power
will be drained off through Fed
eral taxes, or diverted by some
other aspect of fiscal policy. The
probability of the imposition of
new controls, perhaps more di-
rect and drastic than existing reg
ulations, must also be weighed.
These various stipulations as well
as many other imponderables vir-
tually preclude the making of
anything resembling a year-long
forecast of prices except in very
broad qualitative terms. In the
absence of superhunan vision, the
identifications of any specific
price level as the one most likely
to prevail a year hence might
readily be done by the drawing of
lots, provided some discretion is
used in choosing the range of the
numbers placed in the hat.

cast of 1851 business conditions
is in the realm of industrial pro-
duction and employment. Given
the existing international situa-
ton, this years crop of forecasts
undoubtedly will be nearly un-
aninous in projecting a larger
physical or unit volume of in
dustrial output in the months
ahead.
There will be some disagree
ment as to the percentage in
crease that can or will take place,
and there will be more regarding
the proportions in which such
enlarged production will be di-
vided between military and civil
ian requirements. But the gravest
hazards will be encountered in
trying to translate any specific
rate of output or employment in
to its dollar equivalent or TO de-
scribe it in terms of personal
income paid out in the process.
In short, forecast of general
business conditions for next year
can hardly go beyond a straight
forward estimate of physical pro-
ductionL
The multiplicity of views that
may emerge from among the fore
casting fraternity, regarding the
monetary value of the nations
economic effort during 1851, is
not necessarily an indictment of
the profession. The real value of
the annual array of prognostica-
tions is not that of providing a
selection of entries from which
may be picked a sweepstakes
winner for future citation, but
one of providing a cross section
of the conclusions and reactions
which contemporary developments
have induced. The knowledge that
many of the published or spoken
estimates will prove to have been
wide of the ultimate mark does
not necessarily impair their val
idity at the moment as a reflec-
! ton of today's situation. Rather
it emphasizes the need for con-
tinuous observation throughout
the year instead of waiting I'M
til December 1851 for the next
diagnosis.

SWeepsteaks OF
1851 Discussed
Broadcast by Merle Hostetler
Manager, Research Department,
Federal Reserve Bank of
Cleveland

The season is near at hand
when, according TO custom and
tradition, a succession of year
end business analyses and fore
casts viii parade before the lay
mans reviewing stand.
1t is not the purpose of this dis
cussion to question the extrinsic
value of this recurring ritual Of
clairvoyance, but rather to an
ticipate the characteristics and
limitations of this years compos-
ite observance.
A business forecast is a hight
perishable commodity. It loses
value rapidly, because the econ
onlic outlook is never completely
stable, Tut changes from month
to month, from week to week, and
even from day to day. The busi-
ness curve is not foreordained:
each days quota of news and de-
velopments-never in exact accord
with expectations-modifies the
outlook for tomorrow which in its
turn will repeat the process. Thus
the error in the original forecast
tends to become cumulative.
This tendency explains in part
the traditional inclination to cast
any given forecast on the premise
that an existing trend, whether
upward, downward, or sidewise,
will perpetuate itself. At a time
when prices, for example, are
falling it is difficult to visualize
not only the specific circumstan-
ces that will eventually arrest the
decline, but also the length Of
time that must elapse before the
scale starts tipping in the other
direction. Similarly, during per-
iods of rising prices, as at pres

Boy Is Wounded
At billiards

A 13-year-old boy was shot in
the right side when % caliber
rifle accidentally discharged dur
ing an attempt to kill beef steer
near billiards Thursday.
The boy, Oakley Viers was re-
ported in good condition in Chill
dren's Hospital Thursday night.
He is a ward of the county and
has been living at the home of
Percy Fulwider, 5782 Avery Rd.,
where the accident occurred, sher-
ifs deputies said.
Fulwider told deputies he threw
an ear of corn to make the steer
turn its head. In so doing, he
struck the rifle against a board,
causing it to discharge and hit
the boy who was standing nearby.

ent, It is hard to imagine the COM
bination Of forces either natural
or artificial that will sooner or
later block the road to further
advance and possibly start
head-long retreat, and when that
turn might most logically ma
terialize.
A year ago at this time, there
was considerable agreement re-
garding the outlook, at least for
the first half of 1850. This almost
universal confidence in near-term
prospects was largely the by-pro-
duct of the business recovery that
had emerged in the preceding fall
and early winter, together with
the imminent payment of sub
stantial National Service Life In
surance dividend.
The preponderance of evidence
suggested that the lights were
green at least for the distance
to the midsummer intersection
beyond which travelling con-
ditions were a matter of some dis
agreement and concern. In fact,
early in June the prices of GER
tain widely dissimilar raw mater
ials such as cotton, lead, rubber,
pepper, and soybeans, which had
exhibited considerable strength
earlier in the season, began to
behave in a disconcerting man.
ner. For week or two it looked
as if industrial demand for these
and perhaps other basic raw ma
terials had over-shot the mark
and that the second half of 1850
might indeed be period of down.
ward adjustment in production
and employment running perhaps
well int 1851.
The brief relapse never had
chance to develop and its sequel
will never be known because of
the sudden injection of news from
across the Pacific which almost
overnight altered the outlook
completely, and invalidated any
forecast which might have been
made as recently as the day be-
fore. Thus within one thirty-day
period last summer the outlook
ranged through a complete cycle,
from confidence to distrust and
suddenly back not to mere con-
fidence but into phase of spirit
ed demand for every saleable pro-
duct.
Subsequently the success of the
Inchon campaign seemed to open
a safety valve in the price me-
chanism with the result that for
several weeks a visible measure of
price deflation occurred in many
basic raw materials. The restrict
i've credit policies inaugurated by
the Federal Reserve System like
wise seemed to exert a restrain
ing influence upon inflationary
sentiment. But once again the
abrupt appearance of Chinese in
tervention quickly reversed the
trend and lifted raw material
prices into new high territory.
And so another complete turn
about in the price outlook was re-
corded within few short weeks.
Equally unexpected changes
may occur during the coming
year and they cannot be antici-
pated at the time the annual fore
casts are locked into print. Any
conjecture regarding the probable
trend of commodity prices dur
ing 1851 involves an extraordin-
airy complex variety of unknowns.

gate or the dollar cost of mill
