TRADE SLUMP IS NEAMG ITS END Bottom of Bushie'ss Depression Not More Than Thirty Days Distant Wasldngton, Dec. 22.

The bottom of the. present business depression will be reached in the next thir days, in the of Archer Wall Douglas, chairman of mittee'on statistics and standards of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, in his monthly report 'on; general business conditions. "Advance of any moment, in the prices of agricultural products will materially change the for the better, and reductions in the prices of commodities are likely to cause increased business in all industrial says Mr. Douglas. The report points out "that acute phased of the present depressisi will wear away steadily as the public adjusts itself to changed conditions brought about by a return to normal.

Unfavorable agricultural situations, especially, have an unexpected way of remedying themselves. "We are awakened to the startling realization of a harvest so great that we cannot at once find an adequate market for our surplus products. So there ensues that inexorable law of supply and demand which decrees that over production is always accompanied by falling prices. This phase of the situation is peculiarly accentuated in the Southern States where the second largest crop of cotton grown is met by a much reduced demand both at home and abroad. Moreover much" of the cotton is a low grade middling because of the boil weevil and much unfavorable weather and for such grades there is now practically no market at any price.

"One observer in the Southwest describes the situation by saying that the country is rich in every product, plenty of crops unsold, hogs, chickens, turkeys, cattle, good teams and farm equipment, but no money and banks loaned up. The answer, of course, is that natural laws of supply and demand will ultimately work out the situation and no remedies or plans to bridge over the emergency can obscure this fact. "There is a general belief thit there will be a revival of building in the because conditions be more favorable, and the necessities of the situation are more pressing." $5.00 Gillette Safety Razor $2.49 With twelve extra blades and mirror.
