Having delivered a remarkable crescendo of pleasing facts & figures for nearly a year, U. S. Business had apparently decided to make a thoroughgoing reappraisal of the business outlook. Trade statistics were at Recovery highs. Corporate earnings for the March quarter were impressive, the first 108 companies to report showing a 43.5% average increase in profits over the same period last year.

Bethlehem's Grace, who is never given to overstatement, told Senator Wheeler that "business in this quarter ought to be the highest in some time." Said U. S. Steel's Irvin: "The outlook is favorable. We ought to keep going for the next couple of months, at least, as well...
