[…] Within the following pages I give the recorded imply worth of wheat for annually in England from the yr 1270 to 1909, in each a desk and a diagram. Additionally, in a diagram, the month-to-month imply worth of wheat at Chicago and Cincinnati from 1844 to current date. Particular charts are additionally given as an instance the reasons concerning the strategy of forecasting by way of cycles. Via these tables and charts I present on this work how a forecast of the wheat market might be made up for over 40 years. In reality, I chart the forecast prematurely over 10 years, for the good thing about readers and college students. It’s accomplished simply as proposed above, particularly, by first proving that the harmonic cycles actually do exist within the data, after which carrying them on into future years. The calendar yr is used because the unit of time (or the calendar month) and due to this fact the forecasting, as taught, is essentially of the lengthy swing motion. 

 

[…] On web page 27 is given the desk of composite and harmonic values within the 49-year cycle. That composite is, as earlier than said, the results of eleven cycles added collectively, whereas the harmonic values are merely the smoothed curve of this similar composite, and each are charted collectively on web page 26. 

[…] This result’s given within the Composite Chart of the 49-year cycle and it’s the one used as the premise of all forecasting. If we look at the composite chart with some consideration we’ll discover that there are nearly eight locations the place tops come out and likewise there are eight bottoms. Eight into 49 goes 6.125 instances, so it appears very a lot as if the well-known 7-year cycle of the traditional Jews was in actuality about six and one-eighth years as a substitute of seven. It’s the eighth harmonic that provides the most effective leads to the 49-year cycle, as a substitute of the seventh.
