servative optimism IS the keynote Of
business forecasts for 1927 of the Ma
tons leading bankers and business
men.
With two successive years Of I'M
usual prosperity just drawing to a
close. and stock and bond prices
around the highest levels ever re-
corded. 1t Is natural that predictions
for the future should be attended

likely. fundamental conditions general

responsible quarter.
Some concern is expressed over the
huge volume of securities owned by
banks, over the low price of commod-
tiles, particularly cotton, and its pos
sible effect on the country's purChas-
Ing power; over the growth of install
ment buying and over the apparent
decline In building construction. How
ever, the ordinary harbingers Of busl-

prices, high Inventories and over-ex.

BY ADOLPH luxor.

President, Famous Players Lasky Corp.
This country Is in good economic
condition, and In 1927 i think its pros
perity will be on an even sounder
basis than ever before.
1.-THE reason for this. to my mind,
is a change in the mental attitude or
business concerns and individuals
themselves. During the war and in
the years that have followed the
United States went through a period
of unprecedented activity. People
were making money fast and spend
ing It at the same pace.
"In the last two years, however
particularly in the year now ending,
we have been outstanding our re-
sources, we have become more con-
servative. This applies not only TO
industrial and commercial enterprises;
it is also true OF most Of our citizens
in the handling of their private af-
fairs. They are saving more, ana
when they spend money they do so
more intelligently; they demand
greater value in return. Business Is
using more care and foresight in its
expansions; it is watching its future
commitments with a more Jealous
eve. In other words. It is consolidar-
ing its position with the thought of
holding on to the gains II has made.
ITO me, this argues we'll for the.
continued prosperity Of the country,
and 1927, 1 think, will see us all on q
better foundation than ever before.

cat no time In history have the
people OF an entire nation enjoyed
the prosperity prevalent in tho United
States today. At no time have people
dreamed Of the universal use of lux
uries which we accept as our birth
right. Our material prosperity is
astounding--so remarkable, in fact.
that business men are coming from
all parts Of the world TO study our
methods.
we still have many problems be-
fore us. Our very prosperity makes
foreign manufacturers cast envious
eyes at our markets. TO maintain
our markets and our present high
pWages, with reasonable profits for
manufacturers, we must realize eff
cheney and economies upon a progress
sive scale, not merely In production
but I'm marketing methods as we'll.
Both in industry and in agricul-
tire there must be cooperation among
the factors involved to an extent
never before considered necessary or
even desirable. Farming must be
conceived on q more scientific basis.
There must be greater integration OF
agricultural producing units. We
must apply TO our fields the methods
of Iarge-scale production which have
been found successful IN our fac
tories. Waste In marketing must be
minimized on the farm as well as Iii
industry.
These things can and will be done
through the cooperation of heads OF
industries, farmers, bankers. Wall
Street men and ranchers. We have
the greatest country in the world,
and with intelligent effort, feeling
OF humanity and with faith in one
another nothing is beyond the power
of achievement"

BY ARNOLD Is. SLOAN. JR.,

President of the General Motors Corp.
There is more reason to expect
1927 will be another good year for
the automobile industry-perhaps not
so good as 1926. but q satisfactory
year. II must he borne In mind that
1928 has exceeded any previous year
IN the volume of automobile produc-
ton and sales; that domestic con
sumner demand has broken all records,
and that export business has been the
largest in history. During this year
something over $500, 900 passenger
cars. trucks and buses were produced
in the United States and Canada, or
some or per cent more than IN
the previous record year OF 1873. IN
deed, the past four years have been
a period of very satisfactory automo-
bile volume, the total output OF the
industry in the United states and
Canada in these four years having
been about 16 $500 900 vehicles. or an
average of approximately four and
one-eighth million a year. II now
seems reasonable to expect that the
1927 production will equal, If 1t docs
not exceed, this four-year average
cit must he recognized that the
volume of replacement automobile
business Ia increasing rapidly and
that the overseas demand is steadily
expanding, and additional volume
from these sources in 1927 will go far
toward offsetting any reduction of
new users buying in this country
which may be experienced.
although there is some uncertainty
as to what the level OF general bust
ness actipitv viii be next year, there
appears to be little likelihood that any
drastic change will take place. and
IT. a
moderate slowing down need be an
ticipated. This view is predicted upon
the fundamental soundness of the
present situation. Banking and credit
conditions are very favorable, with
the available supply OF credit large
and interest rates relatively easy;
there has been no price imitation; In
yentores have not been piling UP; the
efficient operation of the railroads
makes prompt delivery of the mate
rails and finished products possible:
agricultural purchasing power, While
perhaps somewhat less than year
ago primarily because of the decline
in the price of CottOnl is, on the WHOLE,
good, and the present volume OF In
dustrial employment and the current
level of wages promise the contln-
uance, at least over the near future,
of satisfactory purchasing power
from this source. The building sit
uation, because of the high level OF
activity in this industry, holds an ele-
ment of uncertainty, and the posi-
bility of q decrease in building opera
lions must be recognized. 1t is not
unlikely, however, that any sharper
drastic reduction of building will oc-
cur next year.

With perversity that was nicely
timed, Nature released a fresh flood
of new crude oil production last Sum.
mer. just as a large section of the
public had become convinced that we
are practically at the end of our oil
resources.
There Is no major business activity
so hard to forecast as crude produc-
ton. No sooner do experts complete
their charts and commit themselves
to predictions than some little.consid.
cred area is sure to break loose with q
lot of oil
I'm the past year there was good
reason in the early months to look
FOR a substantial decrease for the ~
month period compared with 1925.
The first six months loss amounfed
to 1900, 900 barrels. Now it appears
that not only has the deficiency OF
the first half year been overcome by
increased production in later months.
but 1t is a practical certainty that rhe
total yield for the full year 1926 will
exceed that for 1925 by substantial
amount and in so doing establish an.
other new high record for the United
States. above 100000 barrels.
With the record breaking outrut
increased imports and seasonal decline
III consumption. large amount of
current production is now going into
storage. Nevertheless, and taking into
account the recent reduction in
posted prices. the producer is averag.
ing cents a. barrel more on his mid
continent production now than he was
year ago. For all the light crudes
produced In Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas. an average of SO cents n barrel
more has been paid so far this year.
The remarkable gain in produc-
non has been due mainly to the de
velopment of three major pools in the
latter half of the year. These are Pan
handle and Spindletop, in Texas, and
Seminole, In Oklahoma. How impor-
tant they have been in effecting the
change In the statistical position may
be judged from the fact that they
were doing only 10000 barrels on July

ing 367 900 barrels daily.

ton, 1t Is the expectation of the in
