NEW YORK, December 31.-The Ma
tional city Banks yearly review
says: THE year which has just closed
has seen production in the United
States in nearly all lines either at
the highest level ever reached or very
close thereto. The yield OF farm
crops was less than that OF 1922, but
the Official valuation for 1928 is
$s,322,695,0 900, against S7.449, $4,000 In
1922. This increase, however, was
largely in cotton and corn. and the
misleading as indicators OF pros
perity,, inasmuch as in the case or
cotton they represent high price
for q small yield grown on a large
acreage, and in the case OF corn the
crop is mainly fed on the farms.
Agriculture in many localities Is still
[laboring under difficulties, mainly due
to unbalanced price relations.
"Emptoyment has been practically
up to the limit oE-the labor supply;
the railroads have made q new years

ductJon OF iron and steel has been
greater than in any previous year.
Bradstreet's compilation OF building

months to and including November

political situation appears to be
clearing, with less danger OF radical
railroad Legislation, and so strong
has been the expression of public
opinion in favor OF tax reduction and
against the bonus that 1t would seem
well within the prospect Of the early
months of the year that satisfactory
legislation should be enacted ana
dangerous legislation avoided. In
business way the outlook Is appar-'
emily clear.
Heavy Christmas trade has tended
to empty the shelves of merchants,
and such forecasts Of spring demand
as are now available are encourag-
ing. There is no apparent prospect
ment. Foreign trade cannot be ex-
pected to change very much In the
early future, but the experience Of
1928 has shown that for essential
commodities Europe Is obliged to de-
pend upon this country, and Will md
some means OF making payment, SO
that the best observers are disposed
to expect q continuation of foreign
trade upon its present footing at all
events, with possibly gradual i'm
provement.
This Improvement will become
real should our delegates at Berlin
succeed in persuading their asso-
ciates to take q favorbale attitude
as to reparations and international
debts, so that there may be no doubt
that they will be able to obtain from
the United States q larger degree
of Accommodation. In q party way,
the strong stand taken by President
Coolidge and his Secretary OF Treas
ury seems already to have clarified
the campaign situation and to have
laid the foundation for q sane han
ding of party issues during the
presidential contest which must oc-

cost of living to give cause for immedi-
ate concern.
While wages were rising steadily from
January last up to Novembers the latest
time when detailed information was
available, the cost of living. the board
reveals, likewise was advancing, but the
advance in wages was enough to more
than Offset the rise in household and
other expenses of the average American
family.
Therefore, the board announces, the
actual increase of wages, as balanced
with the slightly decreased purchasing
power Of the dollar during the year, as
caused by the rising cost of living, has
brought to the worker in industry q
1923 rise Of 30 per cent in his weekly
wage and of S.5 per cent in his hourly
earnings.
Wages Rose Steadily.
Summarizing the Industrial activity
Of the year, the board finds that 1928
has been marked by a general upward
movement in wages. with widespread
tendency to increase wage rates, COM
bined with close to capacity production
slackening of production was followed
by a certain amount of ,curtaflment in
employment, but wages have so far suf-
fered little reduction on this account,
and are now close to the peak point Of
1920.
Most of the wage increases were in
the nature Of compensation for the re-
tended to bring the earnings Of these
workers closer to the level Of those in
the highly unionized industries. which
had successfully combated any reduction
and had maintained high wages through
out~the period of Industrial depression.

the opposite of this. They served to
encourage false hopes when prices
were low, and the later realization
OF the truth only Increased the vio-
lence OF readjustments.
. When acreage figures were first is
sued, the opinion advanced in well
posted cotton circles was that they
threatened as great a scandal as had
occurred in 1921, when the e-estimAted
acreage Of July was later corrected
by. 100000. In view Of the impor-
tance Of all government reports and
the general disposition to place them
higher in the scale of reliability than
those issued by private authorities,
1t is hardly surprising that criticism
should be severe.
The record stands. While making
full allowance for the fallibi1ity of
