Rullish factors may be summed up
New building permits are running
80 per cent above last year. This
activity spells business for the build
ing industry and the thirty allied in
dustries. Certain government con-
tracts. which were postponed, will be
brought forward during the coming
months.
High crop vaius.-Total crop value
nearly $900,000.000 above iasl " -
A large factor in our economic prob
lens.
Bank statements-Mos recent re-
ports for both federal reserve system
and national banks indicate a sound
position. Plenty of credit. available
for legitimate enterprises.
Money rates.-Ample gold reserves
point to a continued easing of money
rates. The level of interest charges
should work downward and bond
prices prohr thereby.
Railroad earnings.-The railroads,
with some exceptions. are in better
shape. Gross earnings per mile are
running II per cent above last year,
while the net Is more than 27 per
cent better. This Is the best show

railroads should continue to buy

than In 1923.
Bearish factors include the follow

Faiiures-While failures for 1928
ran below those of 1922, they in
creased rapidly, during the last quar-
ter. Liabilities Of $76,S65,75s in Oc-
tober. for instance. are compared

and liabilities. A retarding factor.
