How can you possibly imply
that q statistic on new incor-
|porations' Is 4 more important
clue to what's going on In the
economy than the total OF en-
ployed and unemployed" ex-
Iploded my friend. a New York
banker. Il hope you're right
In saying that the bottom Of
the recession has been hit but
how you can reach that con-
clusion without getting into the
big stories about production
and employment Is beyond me-
The banker was referring TO
the column that appeared In
this space yesterday-in which
I listed eight indicators" which
In the past have usually indi-
Gated major shifts In the direc-
ton OF our economy as much
as six TO twelve months before
the general level Of the econ
omy actually changed and the
direction was unmistakable.
These eight indicators were
selected from 800 statistical
series by the National Bureau
of Economic Research-pioneer
