j. II. Tregoe Tells Credit Men
Confidence in Business Is
Justified.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, Dec. .-Confid0nce
in business is justified by present
conditions, j. III. Tregoe, secretary.
treasurer of the National Associa.
ton OF Credit Men. today reported
to the membership numbering 30,
900 following a recent survey Of
conditions. While he found occa-
sionaI pessimism, lie said. prOduc'
ton and distribution of conmodi
ties, and credit facilities, were
such as to inspire no fear.
Some Of the causes for optimism
Tregoe found. included:
/. The narrowing of the spread
between the price Of farm products
and the price of other commodities
III. The decrease Of unenploy'
ment.
3. High expenditures for con.
struction work.
The apparent upward swing
of buying in the railroad equip
ment field.
s. Continued high car Ioadings.
6. High level of hank clearings
4 Large volume of business by
mail order houses, department and
chain stores.
Production Irregular.
In giving detailed results of this
survey, Tregoe said that produc
ton and distribution were far from
regular throughout the country.
"There is great deal of spot
tfness in the situation" he said.
There are malad justTnentg in the
flow of commodities to consumers
markets, and in the flow Of funds
from consumers markets.
but an increased purchasing
power for our agriculturalists and
good purchasing power ability In
all fields ought to place fair
volume Of commodities constantly
on the move, and that will keep as
fairly active until the close OF the
year.
Following Is Tregoe's summary Of
sectional conditions:
"In the New England industrial
district, production is irregular
sales on the whole are remaining
steady or showing a little decrease.
Borrowing shows no decline. in
some sections recording an increase.
Profits are on the whole smaller.
'.In the industrial east, production
| is also irregular: sales of seasonal
goods lare active. Profits are af.
fected.
TN the industrial middle west,
production in some commodities
records an increase. Sales are
running on the whole at q fair
volume Profits affected BY high
costs, and below normal.
South Profits Small.
In the agricultural south. pro.
duction in the extractive industries
are very active, such as tobacco
In other products, showing a de
crease but with better prices, as
cotton. Profits are running small.
In the agricultural midwes
production has beer very satisfac
tory, particularly in corn, but II
wheat the situation is still highly
unsatisfactory. Sales are main
tanned in normal volume or show
ing some inclination to decrease
Profits are on the whole unsatis
factory.
In the intermountain section
production has shown some in
crease. Profits were badly affect
ed by high costs.
"On the North Pacific coast pro
duction is very largely in extractive
industries and shows material i'm
provement. Lumber, except in
some particular cases, is moving in
fair volume, and the salmon can
neries have very good prospects,
Sales are being maintained in fair
volume. Collections are showing
some Improvement. Borrowings
are increasing. Profits affected by
