If at any time it exceeds the effectual demand, some of the

component parts of its price must be paid below their natural

rate. If it is rent, the interest of the landlords will

sufficient to supply the effectual demand. All the different

parts of its price will rise to their natural rate, and the whole

price to its natural price.
