Deferred Buying To Bring Better Times
Reynolds foresees 1931 as a year of business recovery with stabilization of commodity prices and release of deferred purchases aiding revival. The money market may stay easy for part of 1931, but improved business should support firmer rates without hampering commerce. Overall, the year promises new confidence tempered by 1930 disappointments, despite 7 percent below 1928 totals for industrial output and a 16 percent price decline since 1929. Corporate profits are expected to fall at least one third from 1929.
