BR00KMIRE FORSEES
LOWER EXPORTS IN 1890

The United States will meet dimi-
nished foreign demand for its goods
during large part of 1890. according
to the latest commodity bulletin Of The
Brookmire Economic Service, Inc, which
points out that exports have been de-
clining since March, 1929.
Ultimately, cessation of the flow Of
capital from all quarters Of the globe to
Wall Street should lead to worldwide
revival of economic activity" adds the
bulletin. AT present, however, defla-
ton is in progress after rather serious
overproduction Of many commodities.
Decreases have been registered both
in such industrial products as automo-
bileS and copper, and such agricultural
items as cotton and wheat. This devei-
opment has helped to depresS prices of
farm products; and efforts to maintain
prices will remain difficult as long as
this country produces such large sur
plus for export. The pace of industry
has been slowed down, and where prices
have been maintained-as in copper
reduced volume of exports will contrib
ute to the eventual break"

Declining prices on the commodity ex-
changes for both wheat and cotton, as
registered this week. drew sharp at
tention in Official quarters because
of the direct and indirect effects
anticipated. The Federal Farm Board Is
expected to initiate steps shortly to
resist the decline, and in the meantime
has not abated the adopted policy of
exhorting producers to curtail output of
both grain and cotton this season.
Chairman Barnes of President
Hoover's business survey conference Is
sued one of the periodical statements of
that organization, declaring that mark
ed improvement in the character of
average business conditions had been
registered up to the middle of February.
Reserve bank statistics indicated a
continuing disposition on the part of
borrowers to reduce bank loans, though
the advances to brokers and dealers on
the New York Stock Exchange, after a
long period of drastic contraction,
showed a reasonable increase this week.
Commercial Transactions.
Commercial transactions during the
week ended February Is, as reflected by
data on check payments, we're lower
than in either the preceding week or
the corresponding period of 1929" the
Commerce Department weekly sum-
mary OF the business situation at home
and abroad said.
"Steel-plant operations during the
latest reported week on higher level
than in the previous week but showed a
decline from year ago. The output of
bituminous coal was lower than in
either the previous week or the same
week of the preceding year. Petroleum
output was greater than in the previous
week but showed a decline from a year
ago. Wheat receipts for the latest avail
able week, as well as receipts of cotton,
cattle and hogs were lower than year
ago.
THE general level of wholesale prices
showed decline as compared with both
previous week and the same week OF
1929. Cotton prices averaged higher
than in the previous week but were
lower than year ago; prices for iron
and steel were unchanged from the pre-
vious week but lower than last year;
while prices for copper were unchanged
from prior period.
Loans and Discounts.
Bank loans and discounts at the end
of the week were lower than at the end
Of the preceding week but showed
gain over last year. Business failures
were less numerous than in the previous
week but were larger than q year ago.
Prices for stocks were higher than in
the previous week but were below the
level which prevailed in the correspond
ing period of 1929. Bond prices showed
further fractional gain over the pre-
vious week but were lower than year
ago.
AS Canada, the report said that "the
seasonal activity in the past few weeks
has bettered early expectations, but 1t
is probably less pronounced than at the
beginning of 1929" Business was claSsed
as dull in Argentina, but slightly i'm
proving in some respects in Brazil.
European and ASiatic conditions were
classified for the week as unchanged.
