Industrial stocks moved upward
under the lead Of the coppers this
morning. Buying orders flooded the
market at the opening, piling up
heavy turnovers for many OF the
active shares. and setting the ticker
back about Is minutes in the first
hour. The rails and the specialties
were in good demand all the way
through, while the oils slumped off
under~3he handicap of record-break-

WEEKLY CHECK
PAYMENTS
SMALLER
BY HARRY GUSACK
Financial Editor

Check payments, always indicative
Of business activity, were smaller
for the week ending January rs, as
compared with the previous week,
but larger than for the correspond
ing week in 1923, it was announced
today by the Department of Com
merce, in its weekly statement Of
business conditions.
The business review showed that
steel plants were more active during
the week than in either the preced-
Ing week or the corresponding week
of the previous year. Activity in
the automobile industry as indicated
by factory employment in Detroit,
showed substantial expansion as
compared with the preceding week
and the same period of 1928.
The output of crude petroleum,
lumber and bituminous coal, cover
ing the latest reported week, was
greater than during either the
previous week or the same period
of last year.
The general index of wholesale
prices showed a further gain as
compared with both the previous
week and the same period q year
earlier. Prices for copper and iron
and ssteel averaged higher than in
either prior period, while prices for
cotton. though showing a decline
from the preceding week, were
higher than a year ago.
Loans and discounts of Federal
reserve member banks showed a
further contraction from the pre-
ceding week but We're larger than &
year ago. Interest rates on call
loans averaged lower than in the
previous week but were higher than
a year ago.
Time e-money rates showed no
change from the previous week but
averaged higher than in the same
period of 1928. Bond prices showed
no change from the previous week
but were lower than in the same
period of 1928. Prices for stocks
reached new high record during
the week.
Cattle receipts at primary mar
kets during the week ended January
1g We're greater than q year ago.
Hog receipts, on the other hand,
We're smaller than last year. Re-
ceipts of wheat also showed de-
cline from the same period of 1928.
Business failures covering the latest
week showed decline from both
the previous week and the same
week of last year.

BUSINESS
MADE MANY
FORTUNES
BY B. C. FORBES

Are the most prosperous Ameri'
can industries usually those that
have been best.managed?
Yesterdays column enumerated
poorly managed industries which
have done poorly.
Let us glance at the record and
the management of industries
which have come prominently and
profitably to the front.
The automobile industry has
had the most dazzling history of
them all. It has made far moro
nillionaires than any other in
dustry during the present CEN
,tury. Thousands Of early stock
holders on even a modest scale
have been made rich. Probably
20 500. 10000 fortunes have
sprung from motors in the last
billion-dollar fortune. In few in
dustries has greater progress
been made in improving the
quality of the product, its de-
pendability, its efficiency, and
its attractiveness.
Notwithstanding that the cost of
living Is some two-thirds higher
than 1t was before the war. the
dollar today buys more automo-
bile than it did before the war or
at any other time Not only so.
but automobile leaders have car
ried selling and advertising to q
point not matched by any other
great industry, Research has been
conducted on an unparalleled
scale. Latterly, too, foreign mar
kets have been opened up with
tremendous energy.
In short, Americas motor in"
dustry ranks among the very
livest in the world.
What Of the electric industry?
America has led the world in
the whole field of electricity.
General. Electric and .Westing-
house are without equals in any
part of the earth. Millions upon
millions. of dollars have been in-
telligently spent by them in
searching for new knowledge, new
inventions. new uses. Year after
year electrical products of all
kinds have been vigorously
pushed. Effective advertising has
been literally employed. Like the
motor dollar, the electric dollar
buys more today than 1t did in
the past, despite the doubling Of
wages and sti1e enormous rise in
almost everything else we use.
