During the year 1910 a great deal of attention was paid to the cost of living, bank loans, copper and steel business, the trade balance, freight rates, the European attitude toward our securities, and the wheat supply.
Besides offering discussions of these matters in the weekly letters Thomas Gibson was fortunately enabled to obtain and publish additional light from outside students and authorities.
Thomas Gibson’s Special Market Letters letters have been compiled and presented in this form for the convenience of subscribers and others who may find them of interest.
