IMPORTANCE OF TRADE

STATISTICS.

It has been said by cynics that figures can be made to prove any thing. To some extent this is true if the investigator starts out, with the fixed determination to arrive at A particular result and no other. The value of a conclusion reached 'by a study of statistics depends first upon the accuracy of the figures, second upon their complete- neas, and finally upon the manner of their interpretation. The com- pilation of national and inter- national statistical information is much more general now than it was fifty, or even fifteen, years ago, and especially this development noticeable in regard to figures re- lating to industry and commerce. For many years economists have been trying to discover the cause of the trade cycle which appears to vary between six and eleven years. There are instances where the in- tervals between the crest of one trade boom and that of another has been less than six yeare and more than eleven, but it is believed that the average cycle of boom and

yond those periods. So far no satisfactory theory has been ad- vanced in explanation of this phenomenon, but as the mass of reliable statistical information throughout the world becomes pore readily available, economists hope that it will be possible eventually to solve the mystery.
