Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, April 12.--No check has
yet made its appearance in the progress
of industrial activity. There is no indi-
cation Of lessening Of buying power.
On the other hand. some OF the agri-
cultural communities have been bene-
fitted materially by weather conditions.
Yet q certain lesSen1ng Of activity Is to
be expected within the next two months
and 1t would perhaps be an unhealthy
indication Of the situation II 1t did not
show up.
SO far as the key industries are con.
cerned. 1t Is probable that it will be
evident first In the automobile field.
This does not mean that the market Is
saturated or anywhere near 1t. The
American market will be saturated only
when there Is no longer space on streets
and roads to run automobiles. But the
first rush Of buying for the year Is over.
New models will be coming olt soon
and the factories will have 10 shorten
production for time to prepare to pro-
duce them. The new cars formerly
came out In or near August, but, like
straw hats, the season is rushed . lit
tie each year.
Production High.
At the moment production Is high.
ably has never before reached the pro-
portions of today. Pig iron Is strong,
although basic prices have not been Of
ficially altered. In general, the larger
number Of plants are at capacity. with
only q Few mills down for alterations
and Teconditioning. Continuation Of
the excellent business Is foreseen.
The non-ferrous metal quotations
have suffered somewhat during the
week, but they are still at point where
producers can and are making excellent
profits. Tin has slumped on statistical
position, although the prospective de-
mand for tin plate is excellent. The
copper drop, according to many ex-
ceIlent judges, has not been the re-
Fiction Of cessation or decided dimi-
mutton Of demand.
Oil output has not yet reflected the
efforts being made to reduce produc-
ton, but consumption Is now gaining
steadily and probably will continue to
gain for some time to come. Coal move
until the opening Of inland waters nav1-
CATION that the real extent Of the bet
terment can be judged.
Cotton Situation.
The statistical position Of the cotton
fabric manufacturers Is growing bet
ter. Careful statistics within the in
dustry show that sales and shipments
are In excess of production. Sales are
running at q rate above $4,000. 900
yards o month, while production is es-
timated at under 100000. 900. More
over, the cotton fabrics seem likely TO
be more popular from fashion stand
point than at~any time since King Tut's
tomb was discovered and opened. Some
disturbance has been caused by South
ern strikes, but the strike movement
there seems to be weakening.

NEW YORK; April 12s--Most compaL
MES manufacturing food products have
not experienced such spectacular ad-
yances rs many other industrial CON-
panies during the past few years. As
q class, however. food stocks are gen.
orally less affected by periods Of dull
business, and consequently their growth
In value has been steadier than the
average industrial.
The largest biscuit companies have
been among the more successful. Gig
arctic advertising campaigns and re-
ducing fads to the contrary, the coin-
try seems to have acquired greater
desire for sweets, one reason why bis
cult company earnings have been re-
markedly stable and steadily growing.
National Biscuit Co.
The National Biscuit Co. was formed
in 1893, consolidating three separate
companies, for the purpose Of establish
ing nationally known trade marked
articles. Their products were to be dis
tributed from local bakeries regularly
in order to assure freshness. The COM
pany Is now able to gauge quite ac-
curately the demand few days ahead,

Wall Street to reduce Latin America
to colony.
