( onto to mi q ml and the Infloodlng tide, of prosperity begin to rise, At least, go1 nil our historians, economists, bankers, ami fltmnelnl nuthorltloa agree (lut what the anxious business man as?s Just tn?\v is. "When will the tble turn, when will the dawn break, when will the buyer eease from striking and the .wheels of Industry again begin to re voire? To those questions, after a care ful search of the dally ami financial press, we are at least able to give an answer from men who know whereof they speak,. "The Federal Hosefiwe monthly beulletln. the Annalist, the our rent report of the Harvard Co awn It tee on economic res ?rch, the review of the National City Hank." as" il Is noted in The Nation, "all agree In a general oyneclailon that the Industrial depres sion accompanying the proc.-ss <>f detla tlon wlM last Into the spring, but that a revival Is due to begin by March or April." Other authorities who venture predictions agree In a general way that while the depression is likely to he w rse before it Is better, there are already simis of improvement, and a definite recovery Is to l>e expected some say, by the end of the present month; others' put the date a if y where! from one to six mouths in the future. Mr. A. \V. Douglas who heads the com mittee on statistics uf the United States Chamber of Commerce, in a report bused on investigation throughout the country, makes the encouraging decla ration that "we are near the bottom of the depression, or will bo In.the ne^t thirty days." In a forecast prepared for Forbes, the hanking Html brokerage firm of Ilornblower & Weeks asserts, its belief "that the current industrial depression will end in February." Mr. E. O. Catte'i. Philadelphia city statisti cian predicted at a recent luncheon in New York that the end of. the business depression will come in February or March, that from then on for :i period of two or tliroe months business would improve slowly, and by October should he going ahead at full speed. 1< rank F. Porter, chairman Of the Finance Committee of the National Industrial Council, last month predicted better httstnes* conditions within ninety days. The Harvard economic committee holds to its forecast that "the recession of business now in progress will ^terminate J by April 1021." John Moody, the au thority on securities, is convinced "Uhat j a business revival will occur during] 11)21, and especially after the end of the first quarter; for sm-h a revival is ( definitely foreshadowed by Jthe present abundance of material and labor, and by the aluindanco of capital which we will prohaldy soon see." The December letter of the Alexander Hamilton insti tute contains a careful survey of the prospects of business revival. In . the tir?t place, It is asserted that the bank-j luir' crisis was reall.v^passed in Novem- 1 her, a statement supported in part by I the drop in the interest rates on call, loans and time loans. 'The predic- j tiotk^thjM money rates will be much easier in 1021 i- based by the cer tainty tbat both the farmer and re tailer will have to pny off losiiis in large amounts durina the coming j months and that lean re<pilnnents in 1021 will be conspicuously smaller." There is thought likely to l>c llrtle large scale expansion by corporation before 1022, I ioeause of interest charges. "Hy the summer of 1021 conditions may favor a moderate degree fd" new con struction work and retail buying, but during the first half of 1021 we shall "have to pass through the i>eri<?d of li quidation which normally comes be tween prosperity and tb? point of porn pleto readjustment." The low 'prices, which come with depression hear in themselves the conditions necessary for revival. First, "they produce easier n,..ney conditions and stimulate the Is- j ?iu e of bonds :" Secondly, "low prices in themselves stimulate larger purcha ses.
