HIGH HOPES FOR 1925


New York, Dec. 29.-High hopes
for 1925, in some cases mounting to
conviction that it may prove the
greatest year in the history of Am
erican business, are held by various
leaders in basic industrial and fl
nancial activities here.
Forecasts for the new year ex-
pressed by these executives agree
upon the seeming certainty of SUBJ
stantial prosperity. They appear
further to agree for the most part
that the outcome of the last pres
idential election and the favorable
working out of the Dawes plan
should prove major contributing fac
tors. They also bank heavily upon
the fortunate coincidence of great
purchasing and great producing pow
er at home and upon the promise
OF wholesome recovery and expan-
sion in markets overseas.
Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the
board of directors of the United
States Steel Corporation, expresses
as follows his confidence in the
looming II months.
"If the policies of the present adj
ministration shall continue in force
and practice, and the American Con-
gress is reasonably disposed to CO.
operate with the President and the
business interests of this country
will likewise be disposed to support
the administration in its efforts to
assist the business of the country,
the year 1925 should show the high
est and most satisfactory prosperity
in the whole history of the United
States"
Election Steel Pickups
The business of the manufacturers
OF the iron and steel industry of the
United States during the year 1924,
up to the date of election, was ra-
ther dull and depressed, Mr.. Gary
declared. 1T was good at the be-
ginning" he said, "but with the COM
mencement of March materially re-
ceded in volume. Commencing with
June the volume gradually increased,
but the selling prices were lower.
Consequently, with some exceptions
the profits of the iron and steel
business for the first II months Of
the year, on the average, were small,
and in many cases there we're losses.
As shown by the published reports
the Steel Corporation was an ex-
ception and obtained considerable net
profits, though they were small, con-
sidering the capital investment.
However, as predicted by some
Of US, the election of the Republican
national candidate has had marked
effect upon the steel industry. AL
most Immediately after our election
the demand in this country began
to show improvement in volume, and
this condition to some extent had
favorable influence on some foreign
countries. At present the demand
for the iron and steel products man
ufactured in the United States is
large, persistent and satisfactory.
"The New Year will probably COM
mence with all of the manufacturing
plants operating at full capacity.
Also selling prices have advanced to
a considerable extent and should af-
ford reasonable profits sufficient to
continue the wage rates at the pres
ent standard. These were not re-
duced during the depression, not
withstanding they we're not justified
by the results of business"

JOE HARDWOOD
ABOUT DUE
To LAND
Australian Will Garry Eyes Of
Multitude Into National
Open

There is a strong feeling among
golf enthusiasts that the open event
at Detroit this week is about to bring
forth a new open champion. The
superior golf which was played in
the South last winter by Joe Kirk
wood has not been forgotten. Kirk
wood has been threatening to break
into the ranks of the truly great
for some time and the Australian
has developed competitive spirit
which he lacked when he first
came here. He has the shots and
this may be his year.
1t is the player who happens to
be at the top of his game this week
who will take the prize. There is
little to choose between the first
dozen or more professionals at their
best. The margin between them is
often decided by one long putt or
one sensational approach shot.
From tee to green, there is little
to choose between them.
The player with the putting
touch at Oakland Hill is going to
be the dangerous player. With a
field restricted to only the best the
competition is going to be keener
than before and the type of golfer
will probably be the best that has
been in the open event.

Tongues Now To Wac
About Fight Twixt
Firpo Wills

The speculation about Firpo
and Wills will now get under
way with much enthusiasm.
There are numerous ring fans
who are still a bit skeptical
about Wills ring ability. There
is no one battle in his career
which stands out as a great
ring accomplishment.
The ring enthusiasts know
that Firpo can hit and hit hard.
They know that he can fight.
His battle with Dempsey showed
him to be a crude but dangerous
opponent. There will be an
element of uncertainty about a
Wills-Firpo battle which en-
livens the interest in any ring
contest.
