BUSINESS MARKING TIME
UNTIL CONGRESS QUITS
Baltimore Leaders Await More
Definite Political Trend-Regret
Defeat of Mellon Tax Plan.

BALTIMORE, May 13 (Specia).-
Business leaders here are marking
time pending the adjournment of
Congress next month and a more def
mite trend of the political situation.
Defeat of the Mellon tax proposals
caused widespread disappointment
in trade circles, for business men
of tax bill which would at least
contain some of the important pro-
visions urged by the Secretary Of the
Treasury.
Leaders of trade, however, EN-.
phasize the fact that while they aro
disappointed they are not pessimistfc.
They do not disguise their belief that
further readjustment of costs must
he made before conditions become
rabilized.
Demands for wage reductions are
insistent. Some moderate readjust-
ment has been made in a few of the
basic industries, and others are con-
templated. There have been compara-
lively few furloughs in industry in
the Baltimore district, and everything
is being done that is possible to avoid
laving off workers.
The steel trade has been more Sc
1t is estimated that operations in
this line in and around Baltimore
have been reduced 90 per cent from
the peak reached earlier in the year.
This is due, in part, to curtailment in
building operations recently and a
disposition on the part of other con-
sumers of steel products to hold OFF
temporarily.
Crop reports are encouraging, and
the outlook for famers is more ia
vorable than it has been for a long
time.
There is a plethora of loanable
funds, and bankers say existing con-
ditions probably will remain until
demand develops for crop moving.
This is expected to begin around
August 1.
