OFF A BIT
By RICHARD HATTON

There was q slight falling of
In both employment and production
Ia the United States in January
according TO summary of general
business and financial conditions
throughout the country based upon
statistics for january and February
as contained in the Forthcoming
Issue OF the Federal Reserve Bulie'
tin.
Production in selected basic in
dustries, says the bulletin. was
about per cent lower in January
than in December. {,
Covering the field Of trade, the
bulletin says:
Sales OF department stores and
mail order houses showed more
than the usual seasonal decline in
January. but were larger than in
January of last year. Wholesale
trade declined considerably and was
IN smaller volume than a year ago.
freight car loadingsI declined IN
January and the daily average for
the month was approximately the
same as a year earlier.
Wholesale prices remained prac-
tlcally unchanged from December
to January.
At member banks in leading
cities the seasonal decline in the de.
naand for credit, which began at
the turn Of the year. came to an
end toward the close OF January,
and In the early part of February
the volume Of loans and invest
ments at these banks increased con.
siderably.
Loans for commercial purposes,
after declining almost continuously
from their seasonal peak early in
October, advanced by more than
$50. 600. 900 in February.
Factory employment changed
little In January, but the earnings
Of workers decreased considerably
owing to the closing Of pIaEss for
inventory-taking and repairs. The
volume Of building contracts award.
ed in January exceeded that Of any
previous January on record.
