Largely Due to Bad Weather
Economist Declares Manufacturers Haze

was only natural The corner. how
ever, was turned last year, and 1925
should be a better year than 1924.
The main difficulty today is that our
manufacturing capacity is much
greater than needed. Hence we must
wait until consumption catches up
with production. This development
may take some years.
The present difficulty is that peo-
pie expect a too rapid recovery. Even
though the corner has turned, 1t
should be remembered that we were
five years in the process of imitation.
Hence it would not be surprising if
we are to be five years or even longer
IN the process of readjustment which
must follow. Every severe illness is
accompanied by slow period of con-
valescence 1t is the same with the
business body as with the human
body. AS matter of fact, it is sur
prising that business has survived
as we'll as 1t has the great upheaval
which it received during the World
War.
Weather Hurts Business.
The second reason for current dull
ness in some lines is the direct re-
suit of bad weather which certain
sections of the country have suffered
the past Winter The weather was
generally good everywhere until
about the middle of January, when a
tremendously cold wave hit the North,
with heavy snowstorms in many sec
tons. New York State was tied up
worse than it has been for years.
This snow in the North was accom-
panied with rains in the South, where
railroads were washed out and
farms were flooded. Then in Febru-
airy the weather suddenly turned
warm everywhere. The snow and ice
melted. shipping and transportation

in giving our discouraged farmers a
new hope just before election, which
helped the Republican party. This
same weather has not behaved so well
since and, in fact, went on riotous
spree for few weeks in January
and February, from which we are
now suffering. This study of weather
and business demonstrates most
clearly how dependent we all are on
each other. Wage workers, en-
ployers, railroads, shopkkeepers and
preachers all profit and suffer togeth-
err No one group can nave misfor-
tune without It hurting all.

has been very unsatisfactory; first the
weather was so bad that people did
not get out to buy, then it became so
warm that people did not want over
coats.
Thus we see there is a good reason
why general business has not been
as good the past few weeks as many
thought it would be. 1t is true that
the corner turned for the better with
the election of President Coolidge in
November The weather even played
a part in electing him.

and the poor crops of Europe resulted

Special Dispatch to The Star
BABSON PARK. Fla, March IA
Has the business Improvement that
started last November run itself out?'
Many people are asking me this
question. They want to know why
retail trade is not better in many sec
tons when the chart, which reflects
general buSiness conditions, is going
up so much. They see where general
business was per cent below normal
a year ago as compared with 3
per cent above normal today Yet
many industries are still quiet and
the business men of many communi-
ties are still doing no better than
they were a year ago.
There are several reasons for this
lack of vitality on the part
of the current period of business i'm
provement. The first is in the view
point of the business men,
Wrong Yardstick Used.
They want to measure business by
the yardstick of 1919, or wartime
days, rather than by a 10-year aver
age. The war gave us all a distorted
view of life-especially of business
life-and it will be many years be-
fore we again see the profits of those
days. Hence / have no sympathy
Win eltHer employers or wage work
ers who expect to enjoy the same
profits or wages today.
Business and living expenses must
both be cut down to the 1910 to 1920
average, before one can be said to be
working on a normal basis. We have
not yet completed the readjustment
which necessarily must follow a
great war, such as was witnessed
from 1914 to 1919. The abnormally
active conditions of these years
must of necessity be followed by alb
normally quiet conditions.
Manufactures Too Active.
The law of action and reaction is
absolute and cannot be suspended
When prices, wages or anything else
go up above normal figure a cor
responding reaction is inevitable
Hence the big decline of 1920 to 1922

the rivers swelled. 1t rained for
three days with an average temper
allure of 90 degrees.
Retail Buying Slows Up.
Weather affects business in several
ways: First, it makes it difficult for
people to get out and buy. We talk
about captains of industry and big
business but these are helplessly in
the hands of the ultimate consumer
When the women of the country stop
buying within 80 days the merchants,
tho jobbers and the manufacturers
must stop. Retail buying was greatly
retarded the past month and this
has had it's reaction upon business.
Bank clearings, car loadings and
other important business barometers
show a dent due to this month of
unreasonable weather.
Not only is buying retarded by bad
weather, but transportation and dis
tribution are likewise checked Ey-
erything is delayed from the mails
to the freights. Wires get down, in
terfering with telegraph and tele-
phone communication, while both
passenger and freight trains are late.
This not only delays the delivery of
passengers and finished merchandise,
but causes shutdowns of factories
for want of coal, raw materials or
other supplies. Added to all this
is the cost of handling snow, clearing
away ice and repairing damages to
property.
In addition to general retail trade
being retarded by unreasonable and
bad weather, certain industries are
especially affected. Bad driving

such a period Even the overcoat trade
