The executive declared that
the present slump is due in no
small part to the mental atti-

ut will not end until we
forget the stock market crash
and remember that the country
lost not a single penny of real
value in that slump. Every
loss sustained was a loss Of
imaginary values, which were
created by speculation and
which in reality did not exist.

The closing week of June finds
activity in the nations electrical
equipment markets still marking
time, Electrical World reports.
Business. for the most part, IL
spotty and buying is principally
for routine requirements. Inquiries
are numerous but the difficulty
seems to be in translati1g them
into actual orders.
Equipment demand in the East
ern area Is irregular, with large
companies getting the bulk Of
commitments and smaller pro-
ducts reporting declines in sales.
Electric railway equipment book
ings for the week we're in en-
couraging volume and central sta
tion demand is active.
The Electric Storage Battery
Company has obtained a record
order from the New York Central
railroad for 35 giant battery units
for a new fleet of .battery-oil-
electric locomotives, tocaling close
to $4,000, 900.
Orders for scheduled equipment
are steady in New England, but
heavy equipment sales show a de.
cline and general negotiations are
slack. Major activities in the
Middle West continue to mark
time. Utilities are proceeding con.
servatively with as much con-
