INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT
IS AT HIGHER LEVEL
Building Is Heavy--Produc'
ton of Agricultural ImpIe-

By !. C. EOYLE.
Special Dispatch to The star.


NEW YORK. July REPRODUCTION OF
the basic industries is now at higher
level than is usual at this season, even
in the most active years. There nave
been some declines in the less important
lines, but in building construction the
steel industry, automobile manufacture
and output of agricultural implements
the gains have more than onset lheSe
minor losses.
The building industry. probably the
strongest support of general business
prosperity is proceeding at q tate
approximately 10 per cent higher tnan
in the first half of 1927, which was the
greatest building year in history. Con-
sumption of iron ore has shown de-
cided increase and in the Central West,
steel mills are adding some few men to
their payrolls instead of dropping them
off The agricultural implement manu-
facturers and distributors are having
difficulty in making prompt deliveries

Chief Sunnort Of steel.

The chief support of steel continues
to come from building, automobile and
oil country demand. There are sim
more mergers in prospect among the
motor car manufacturers and its seems
certain that production records estab-
lished last year will be exceeded by
December 81 The used car situation
Is better than 1t has been for years
past
Office machinery and equipment sales
have spurted and this is q most en-
Couraging sign, since these sales are an
accurate measure of business activity in
general The rayon mills are at top
speed and construction on new units Is
being rushed. The rayon consumers
are doing far better than the users OF
natural silk Raw silk prices nave
dropped sharply recently and now are
near the low point for the last 10 years.
There has been a huge increase IN
Japanese production and prices nov are
G. cents a Mound below the level for
.rulv 1927. In view of the large stocks
of finished goods on hand, this trend
has not helped manufacturers mate
rally . Ar,
suffering from over production and too
much obsolete equipment. In the last
month 2s7.S1S000 yards of cotton clotn
we're produced of which 26702o,OO0
we're sold. Thus production is exceed
ing consumption by 81 per cent. the
labor and wage situation in New Bed
ford still remains in an unsatisfactory
state of dispute.
= The anthracite and hitumtnous coal
mines are both cutting down production
and workers. Many in the anthracite
field might me idle were it not for the
road and construction work IN progress.
Lumber is in better position that at any
time since 1920 Cement, despite va
rious mergers, is still suffering from
excess mill capacity and foreign COM
uetition

Metal Little Changed.

The non ferrous metals have shown
little change and comparatively little
activity. Copper is still strong, but the
statistical position OF the metal Is nor
inpr, Ing at the moment. Prices Tor
packing house products are strengthen
ing. as shipments Of animals have 1alleh
off with the Summer months, Foreign
business, however, is poor in contra
distinction to foreign trade IN other
lines, and the high prices stu are I'M
itinr the demand for beef.
shoe production has been steadlly m
creased since July and active WorE
on Fall lines Is now being rushed. Hoe
prices have slumped a trif1e, but sole
leather is at a point where most tan
ners are reaping adequate profits. ABOUT
6s. 600 900 pairs of shoes we're made III
the last six months.
The volume of retail trade OF the
country as whole undoubtedly IS
larger than at this time last year and
seems likely TO continue on q rising
scale. The advance in the rediscount
rate by the Federal Reserve Banks OF
Chicago and New York affected the
speculative markets to a FAR greater
extent than it did business, although
naturally some farm product FUTURES
felt the move.

THREE COMMISSIONERS
DISTRICTS FOR EACH
COUNTY is PLANNED

Legal notices soon to appear an
nouncing a measure proposing an
to Section w of Article
XVI of the constitution of Montana,
which will come before the voter at

ed by the vote of the entire county.

district would have the election of its
own commissioner once every six
years.
Should the amendment carry, the
commissioners of each county viii
meet in May to divide their counties
into districts. The certificates of di
Vision will be signed by the judge d
the district court.
At the next general election al
three commissioners will be elected
Oh for six, on for for four and on,

day.
Business generally is good in the
state and net profits are increasing,
S84 corporations showing total pro-
fits of about $25,000,000 for the IL
months ending July 1, 1928, compared
with about $1O,OO0,O00 for the same
period in 1922. A majority of the
corporations whose books were ex-
amined have wiped off practically all
worthless accounts, have healthy
working capital and indicate a de-
crease in current liabilities. Fixed
expense for the average business has
not increased with the greater vol
ume, nor has the current operating
expenses increased proportionately
and profits of Montana institutions
are now comparable to the best years
in the history of the state.
"By way of further analysis" Mr.
Stewart says, "twenty-six different
types of business show an increase ir
net profits of about IT'S per cent ovel
last year, while 13 different types Of
business show a decrease of 80 pei
cent. The number of corporations
earning a net profit greater thai
$500 year has increased from 66.
in 1925 and sos in 1927 to 884 OF
July 1, 1923. We are able to maxi
this almost an exact statement of tn
true condition of Montana business a
result of information secured in tn
examination of corporation state

the one per cent tax upon the ne

required to pay to the state one pc
cent of the net profits except that a
arbitrary deduction of $500 is pei
mitted. The total of taxes collecte
by the board this year was $245, ,520.4
