' r ani disappointment as prevailed last week m the tinancial community arose mainly from the fact that the tension on credit had appreciably relaxed, that urgent Wall street liquidation. Jo escape disaster had apparently ended wun AovemDer, that even thi 1aro- enprnl.Hnrs fof the decline had begun to repurchase . i t i i . . . lecurmes ana mercnanuisc, auu jci that nrices continued to fall rapidly on the Stock Exchange. Payment this week ot lutiy otnj.uw.uuu on the income taxes, coming together with heavy short term borrowing by the government, and preceding by only a fortnight or so the trouble some year-end settlements, would under any circumstances prevent such aggressive support of other markets as would tequire the use of credit. If the financial markets had mere ly stood still as a consequence of this conidtion, they would repeat the attitude taken in a busy DecemBer monev situation on many previous occasions. But, the character of the weakness in present month's markets makes the matter more perplexing. Events of the past two years have proved that prices are largely a re sult of the buying and selling com munity's imagination, which may carry them for a long time and hold them at a leel which the result shows to have been unwarrantably naming tiivrn. We know now that the great November collapse on the Stock Exchange In 1919 correctly foroshadowed the tightening of credit and the severe preliminary reaction in commodity markets which came In the next four months. The attempt at renew al of stock speculation for' the rise last March might be regarded as an advance notice of the attempt by merchant and producers, in the two or three ensuing months, to- hold back their goods and put prices up again after the first sop had teen thrown to retail purchasers. The violent decline In Wall Street last April waa the market's warning of what was destined to happen with industry and Industrial prices In the autumn. The economic readjustment has assumed a scope which nobody predicted, even those who were most skeptical fter the inflated prices of merchandise of 12 months ago. Bradstreet's estimate that 60 per cent of the rise In average commodity prices In this country between July, 191 4, and the early months of 1920 has been cancelled by the decline of the past nine Aifvatlf tn Avfrurm.
