For example: ‘During that stormy period, industrial produc- tion either increased or held its’ own in almost all lines—yet stocks generaily went down in value, and activity in the markets was abnormally small, especially in the last two months. The national in- }eome continued its climb toward pre-depression :peaks—yet. in the words of Business Week, ‘‘pessi-; mism has been riding high of late.” Unemployment ‘has. show- ed a gratifying decline—yet the’ ‘industrial relations outlook grows janore grave, and no-_geal, tence Je. ‘in sight. i |, According to an Associated ,Planned to bring out supplemen-|this country reached its all-tim? for or against ‘heavy Federal , different items of ‘the schedule 02) tal volumes covering the ‘second | peak early in 1929, when it touch-' spending, ete. jed 118 (100 equals the 1929-30) javerage).
