Business Conditions in the
United States

since the days of the postwar in
flation have sales Of consumers goods
been so large.
Such general business induces as
loadings Of railway freight cars and
payment by check, as well as the
more direct evidence Of sales by
wholesale and retail dealers, agree IN
pointing to a record-breaking volume
of general trade. d.
The total amount Of payments by
check, as evidenced by debts to in
dividual accounts by banks reporting
weekly to the Federal Reserve board,
ran consistently above the 1924 to-
tails.
A large volume of retail trade was
clearly indicated by sales of depart
ment stores and m~ail-order houses.
There was a gain of Is per cent in
sales of the two leading mail-order
houses, which are more largely de-
pendent than retail establishments in
general upon farmers purchasing
power.
JuSClLlGQs
It is clear from these and other
indications of the activity of distri-
button that the general tendency dur
ing 1925 was fer goods to. move rapid
ly into consumption, and not to ac-
cumulate in the hands of manufac-
turers or dealers. This was perfect
~ natural in view Of the high level CT
purchasing power enjoyed by nearly
all groups of consumers as a result
Of active industrial operations, with
large employment, high wages and
generally adequate margins of profit
Such a situation provides firm
ground for the anticipation Of con-
tinued high levels of industrial and
commercial activity in the early part
at least, of the current year. Genera
conditions in the commodity markets
justify as optimistic an attitude al
that of a year ago. And the marked
improvement in some Of the basic in.
dustries which have only recentb
emerged from depression is an add
tional source Of confidence.

FINE OPPORTUNITY
COMES TO
BOHEMIAN VIOLTNEST


Due to the efforts Of Mrs. E. I.
Currier, well known Bozeman violin
ist and musical instructor. Conrad
Stang, n Of her pupils, has an OBJ
%portunity to study under Karl Fred
erick Of SteckeIberg at the University
Of Nebraska's school Of music. Mrs.
Currier studied under Mr.. Frederick
and at one time was concert master
of the Lincoln symphony orchestra
under his direction. Recently she re-
ceived a letter from him, asking If
she knew Of a young man Of promise
who would take a position In his violin
repair shop with an opportunity both
to learn that trade and to complete
his musical education. Mrs. Currier
recommended Nh. Stang, who not only
has given evidence of musical talent,
but is skilled, to a considerable de-
gree, in woodworking. Mr.. Stang has
Mt made a final decision, but says
it is probable he viii accept Mr.. Fred
erick's offer. He is a grandson Of Mr..
and Mrs. J. N. Osborne Of this city.

NEW YORK. - Continuing good
business for the immediate future is
the outlook at the beginning Of 1926,
according to the current issue of the
Guaranty Survey, published by the
Guaranty Trust Company of New
York.
The end Of the year, the Survey
states, found business as a whole con-
siderably mere active than at the
close of 1924. The gains in most
lines were not striking, but they were
fairly regular. AS in each of the two
years preceding, there was a distinct
recession in industrial output and in
the volume Of trade during the spring
and summer. The decline was by no
means so sharp, however, as that of
1924; and, with the substantial re-
cOvery of the last few months, nearly
all branches of business were able to
report satisfactory results from the
years operations, and to lcok for
ward at the beginning of 1925 with
the expectation of continuing good
business in the immediate future.
Industrial Situation.
Basic industrial output reached its
peak in the month Of January, 1925,
which marked the elimination of the
sharp recovery from the depression of
1924. The trend during the first hall
of 1925 was distinctly, though moi
violently, downward. After a tenn
porary recovery in July a new low
point for the year was reached II
August. This figure was followed BY
two marked upward movements
bringing the index for October to thc
highest point recorded since April
Under these conditions it is natura
that employment should be large anC
wages high.
An encouraging aspect Of the situa
ton in 1925 was the fact that largu
industrial output was balanced by a.
active movement of goods through
distributive channels. Both wholesaI
and retail trade in many lines estab
lished new high annual records. No

 Nome is enjoying prosperity, said Representative Jensen. The United Smelling dredges, which were most placed in operation until August owing to lack of thawed ground, worked until the middle of Novem- Der and, according to all reports, made an especially good showing. The outstanding feature of they ears work, he states, was demonstra- tion that the cold water method of tiawing was entirely successful, so successful, in fact, that the prob lem of thawing has ben satisfac- torily solved. This, he believes, is far reaching and vital to develop ment of the northern placers, as it may be the means of opening up to dredging vast stretches of workable placer ground existing between the lower Yukon and Fairbanks dis trict.
