Business StrawS

There are increasing signs of slight showdown
in industrial production There no signs OF a
serious and prolonged business depression. If the
country will distinguish between these two things,
and not confuse intelligent caution with calamity
bowling dangers involved in a temporary transition
from an exceptionally long period of high prosperity
should be mtgated.
In addition to the unhealthy stock market and
credit situation, these straws are worth watching:
1.-The index of industrial production, which makes
allowance for unusual seasonal changes, showed d
decline" according to the August summary Of the
federal reserve board issued Thursday. There was
reduction in the output of iron and steel and copper
and slight decline in the production Of automobiles
-. as compared with last year construction con-
tracts were per cent lower in August"
Steel ingot production trend is downward in
contrast to the upward trend at this time last year.
the Iron Age points out
General Motors deliveries last month 1884,
compared with 1877 1853 units in August 1929
Perhaps these straws don't mean anything. Per-
haps they do Either way caution is the wise course
So far as the government is concerned, this seems
a poor time to pass higher tariff law, which would
cause boycotts of foreign exports and wipe out
that 10 per cent production ferentia in present
prosperity.
