BUSINESS OUTLOOK
FOR COUNTRY IS
REASONABLY FAIR
Reports Indicate Slight In
crease in Unemployment
Wage Cuts General.
BY DIR. LEWIS H. HANEY

NEW YORK. Aug 27.-Figures
showing the trend of employment and
earnings Of labor are now at hand
for July. On the whole the con-
clusion to be drawn from them are
not pessimistic. There was a decrease
from June Of is per cent in employees.
The average weekly earnings per en-
ploye decreased 20 per. cent. Reports
from over 1,400 firms in sixty FIVE
cities indicate a slight increase in I'M
employment.
Clearly there is no basis for talk
of a general labor shortage. With the
passing of the peak of production ac-
tivity, in May or June, that condition
came to an end. Furthermore, the
general advance in wages has been
checked decisively. A part of the de-
crease in the weekly earnings is due
to less employment, but It will be
noted that the decrease in earnings
was much greater than that in en-
ployment. which must mean many
reductions In wages In fact, the
June returns showed reduced-earnings
in the automobile. cotton goods, boot
and shoe, and in iron and steel in
dustries.
The general level Of business in July
was, in my judgment about 20 per
cent over the average for 1921, and
At least per cent over July, 1922.
II the attempt to measure is fairly
accurate 1t gives ground for the CON
clusion that the present recession in
business is not likely to wipe out
gains of the past eighteen months.
In this connection. the price stu
alton should be considered find that
the general level of wholesale prices
on Aug. l was over per cent higher
than year ago and u per cent above
the average for 1921 One of the
most hopeful indications for the fu-
ture is the checking of the price de-
cline which has been observable re.
Gently. Weekly indexes have shown
nc decline for nearly a month. AS
soon as this condition is definitely es-
tabllshed. we may look for an end
of the down-swing and the beginning
Of a period Of fairly stable conditions.
In the immediate future 1t will be
we'll to seek good council and exer-
else business caution. 1t is quite un-
certain when Improvement will come
While 1t seems certain that the usual
gains in business which come in the
fall will occur this year. there are no
grounds yet for predicting an upward
turn in the business cycle. "Fore-
casters" are guessing about 1924, some
one way and some another. As yet
all we can say with certainty, is that
business is not going to be much, if
any. worse than now. It does not
seem likely, however. that 1923 will
end as prosperously as 1t began, and
certainly it will not carry out the pre-
dictions of those who forecast expand
ing business throughout the year.
