BUSINESS UPTURN
IS DECLARED NEAR
Bank Sees Brighter Pros
poets for Industrial Advances
in Many Lines.

Business sentiment is changing for
the better, and as the year advances
prospects are for increasing Industrial
activities. according to the Union Trust
Co, Cleveland. In many lines, the bank
says, feeling is spreading that the low
level of recession has passed and that
an upturn is near at hand.
'The basis for this conviction ap-
parently lies in the realization that on
the whole in recent months consump-
ton has exceeded production" says the
bank in its magazine, Trade Winds.
"The feeling is growing. that surplus
stocks have now been thoroughly work.
ed off, that merchandise purchased by
the public last Fall must be to large
extent in need of replacement, and
that before long general demand for
merchandise will make itself felt to
larger extent
Capacity to Buy Seen.
"That the American public will have
the capacity to buy as the season pro-
crosses is indicated by the fact that
savings deposits in banks throughout
the United States have on the whole
shown a definite increase. Although
there is still great deal OF unemploy-
ment among industrial work, TINS IS
being offset to larger extent by con-
struction work, bodybuilding projects
and other seasonal activities, which are
adding to payroll totals.
I'm spite Of the industrial depression
and decline in industrial earnings,
stockholders in leading industrial COM
panies during the first half OF the year
received a greater total of dividend dis
bursements than they did during the
first half of 1929. The credit situation
is also encouraging.
at would be a mistaken assumption,
however, to think that business recov-
cry, If indeed such recovery is now un-
der way, will be accomplished quickly
or easily. OF necessity the process must
be a gradual one, and in the present.
case the period of readjustment may
drag out for some months, owing to
difficulties with respect to the price
situation.
Wage Reductions Likely.
eff prices are to remain at current
low levels for some time it seems prob
able that some wage reductions may
come. Some in fact, already have
taken place, particularly in copper min
ing, rejecting the drop in the price OF
copper, and in farm wages and also In
automobile manufacture. 1t is prob
able, however, that wages, If they do
decline, will not drop proportionately
as far as commodity prices. so that
even should wage reductions prove
necessary, the purchasing power OF the
wage earner's dollar will be as great or
greater than ever before. To this ex-
tent wage reductions mean no decline
