ECONOMIC HEADLIGHTS
As is usual at this time of year,
business sentiment i? somewhat mixed.
Reports from various parts of
p7 the country point to a change for the
better in industrial activity, always
Pan encouraging sign. Financial observers
seem to he a trifle more optimistic.
Evan the high percentage
of commercial failures impresses
many as having a favorable side-?
b elimination of vvcuk units in the industrial
machine is essential to get-,
ting it going t*gan at full speed.
S?.:; :" "'
njbvV 1 ' t
At the recent retailers' convention,
it was forecast that sales would drop
20 per cent during the first quarter
of 1933 with improvement in the second
quarter. A majority of retail
authorities believe that prices are
gradually being rftabilissed.
To many, one of the good events
of 1912 was a decline in the cost of
living o.' 0.4 per cent. This, too, has
its other sidt?the continued decline
in commodity costs is one of the most
stubborn influences in prolonging depression.
Another barrier to industrial
rehabilitation is the growing
fear of heavier taxation and the possibility
of a general sales tax that
will further damage purchasing power.
The state of the public* finances
continues to be unhappy, with the deficit
hovering around the $1,200,000,000
mark. Federal receipts are below
expectations, due principally to the
lost potency of the income tax. s
Consumption ?>f electricity, like car
loadings and bank clearings, always
pluv.t an important part in the making
of business barometers. It is,
therefore, cheering to know'that since
July sales of power have been constantly
increasing and in greater proportion
than the normal seasonal increase.
The December a d v a n c e
marked a greater percentage gain
than did the increase in the same
month of 11M0? a year of extraordinary
electric consumption.
Latest reports on major industries
show: / \
Building?Improved, wi,(h contracts
ahead of same period lasit year.
Lumber?New business continues
to exceed production, and in Southern
pine district is 13 per cent ahead of
last year.
Steel?Fell off after moderate expansion;
concensus ?X opinion looks
to improvement dn next few months.
Copper?Profitless at present 5c
price; best side is that domestic consumption
leads production.
Wool?-Sales close to normal so far
this year.
Oil?The drop in crude from 63c to
38c a barrel, in spite of proration
agreements, and because of overproduction,
is one of the most discouraging
of recent events.
Newsprint?-Price-cutting 'has led
to losses.
Shoes, silk and automobiles show
definite improvement.
Employment declined .4 per cent in
December, with four out of seventeen
major industrial groups marking increase.
White collar workers constitute
28 per cent of those out of work.
Even slightest change upward in purchasing
power should be immediately
reflected in employment statistics, as
stocks of finished goods of all kinds
are now at an irreducible minimum
and only demand is needed to make
factories hum.
While farm conditions show little
change, a good sign is that the fundamental
supply and demand situation
in regard to wheat is steadily
improving, thus warranting the opinion
that price improvement will come j
:n ! he futil e. There have bo? n >ome,
farm prve -o-tbacks. with cattle and)
hi : i "'. ling 'e: iously to the up-,
v. a:.; trend. Foreign demand f-r;

A rise in pri <>>- probably tern p. rary
? recently occurred in Bolivia,
with but little change in the other
Soutr. American count-tes. Basic
B-.tish Industrie?. are reported to be
more active. For the first time in
30 years the Nationalist Government
ir. China has succeeded in balancing
its budget. Rumania showed a large
favorable foreign trade balance for
the first n.ne months in 1032. Canadian
business continues low.
At the request of the veterans administration
each employe of the government
is to be asked whether he
service compensation.
' I
Capital Observations'
('Special Correapoiwience)
Washington, Feb. 8.?-Not until this
week were Roosevelt und (iatni-r formally
declared elected president and
I vice-president, respectively. In the
presence of Congress the votes of the
presidential electors of the several
states were counted and the result!
announced, although of course it was
known on the night of the election.
An authenticated title is going around
concerning a green Representative-elect,
coming to Washington in
advance of the fourth of March to
see if he could not early accomplish
something, and who, by the way, is
not from South Carolina. Knowing
that the government has been lcndng.
billions of dollars, he conferred
wrth sij old Congressman with a view
f getting Mlggestions as to the best
pro-pect and was advised to secure
i loan for a college, there being a
\ wt'ihy and needy one in his district.
S be had wide publicity given to the
m.r.er, g, t all of the relative data
ready, and presented the application
to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation,
only to be informed that loans
are not made to colleges. He is said
to be entertaining murderous intentions
regarding the seasoned politician
who hoaxed him.
With the expiration of the seventysecond
Congress the chairmanship of
two committees in the House of Representatives
will be lost to South
Cnmjfna, those held by Congressmen
Stevenson and Hare, who will not be
in the next Congress. The former is
now chairman of the committee on
printing, and the latter of the committee
on insular affairs. Precedent
counts for everything in legislative
bodies, and new members have to
start at the bottom and work their
way up. Some patronage and much
prestige go with each chairmanship,
and the larger and more important
the committee, the more appointments
there are at the disposal of thq
chairman.
With an abundance of high-grade
material from which to select, there
is no doubt that President-elect Roosevelt
will announce an able and representative
cabinet. He has not yet
made any statement as to its composition.
It is believed that the prospect
of the appointment of a woman
as secretary of labor has been lessened
by the insistence of the American
Federation of Labor that a member
of a labor union be designated for
that portfolio. It is considered more
than probable that a pregressive Republican
will be included in recognition
of the general support by that
element of the Democratic ticket last
year. The name most frequently
mentioned in that connection is that
of Senator Cutting, of New Mexico,
for secretary of the interior.
As one of the final acts of his discredited
administration, President
Hoover has signed a certificate re-t"iring
citizenship to Thomas W.
Miller, who served a term in the Atlanta
penitentiary. He was formerly
a Republican Congressman from
Delaware, and later alien property
custodian, when he was convicted of
fraud involving millions in connection
with the sale of alien property. It
would be interesting to know at this
bite day and after the election, upon
what grounds leniency was extended.
Throughout the nation, among all
classes, a change in attitude has been
taking place, gradually but steadily,
regarding the necesities for relief of
the agricultural interests. As an instance,
when the domestic allotment
bill, which passed t,he house of representatives,
came to a vote, it was
accorded the almost solid support of
| the Tammany delegation from New
York City. The farmer is no longer
regarded merely as a victim of circumstances
and surroundings, and
more lately of the depression, but
the conclusion is permeating that he
lias not had a square deal, that he
bears an unduly heavy share of taxes,
while as an almost universal rule ho
h.i - no capital to invest in tax exempt
securities. It is apparent that an
.mp;uvcnur.t in conditions must start
.it th?- hot torn, ami that the produc

be after the government agencies are
in the hand.s of those sympathetic
with the struggling masses.
Two bandits entered a store in
Riooklyn, N. Y., Wednesday when
Miss Grace L. Putnam, descendant of
Israel Putnam, Revolutionary war
hero, was in charge. They gruffly
demanded the contents of the cash
register. &he answered with. "Get
out of here, you devils, you." The
bandits wore ao surprijr*d and abashed
that tbey turned and fled.
