GOOD BUSINESS
FORECAST FOR
NATION IN 1880
Lamont and Mellon Voice
Optimistic Opinions for
New Year.
BY WILLIAM ]. DUNN.
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Ameri-
can business is on the threshold
of what should prove to be a happy
New Year in the full sense of the
phrase.
Administration authorities, while
making no undue promises for
1880. foresee twelve months of
steady progress in almost every
business and economic line.
The new year Is to see fulillment
OF pledges of expansion made by
the nations business leaders at
President Hoovers recent series of
business conferences.
It will present the American peo-
pie with the s1eO 100000 tax cut
recommended by the administration
and voted by congress. 1t will find
a plentiful supply of credit, in the
opinion Of these authorities, and
numerous other factors combined to
inspire optimism.
Mellon Is Confident
Statements issued By Secretary
Mellon and Secretary Lamont were
indicative of the confidence of adj
ministration leaders in the business
and economic outlook for 1890
Both were conservative in their
views. but confident in the year as
a whole.
Il see nothing in the present stu
alton that is either menacing or
warrants pessimism," Mellon said.
During the winter months there
may be some slackness or unemploy-
ment. But hardly more than is
usual at this season each year.
have every confidence there will be
a revival Of activity in the spring
and that during the coming year
the country will make steady prog
reSs.
In the credit situation the trend
OF money rates is downward. Plenty
OF money is available and we have
reason to expect that the rates for
new capital in building obstruction
and expansion will be such as to
facilitate promotion and accomplish
ment Of new undertakings.
Reviews 1929 Records
Lamont reviewed the accomplish
ments Of the commerce department
in 1929, following with his views
on the 1890 outlook.
ut is impossible, of course, to
forecast what temporary ups and
downs may occur" Lamont said.
But the nature of the economic
development of the United States
is such that one confidently may
predict for the long run a con-
tinuance of prosperity and progress"
Unofficial word from other gov
ernmental leaders was uniformly
confident in character. All seem
agreed that conditions now point to
a furtherance of the prosperity of
the last several years and possibly
the attainment of a new high eco
nomic level.

UTILITY STOCKS
LEAD MARKET
RALLIES
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, May 81 GN.SO
Most Of the industrial and utility
stocks which led the market in
Tuesdays final rally were car
ried to slightly higher price levels
in the first hour today by a new
buying wave, which represented
short covering by the profession
ais. Motors was turned over
rapidly around so, reaching a
new high on the move fraction
ally above that price.
Another slight recession in hte
demand for Steel, with a CORE
spending drop in steel mills
operations, reflected nothing more
than the seasonal contraction OF
steel construction. The same was
true of other lines of industry.
Stocks of the food companies
made a better showing, Borden
and National Biscuit moving UP
about two points each, and gen
foods and standard brands rising
fractionally.
The market in the second hour
was as dull as it could possibly
be, with reduced trading center
ing around a dozen or more OF
the favorites. Quietness was also
in evidence in the bond market
and the commodity markets.
Call money was in good supply
at 3 per cent.

DRY REPEAL

LURAY, Va. May 21.-Reports
from the ten counties of the
Eighth Congressional District t,
where Captain Crandal Mackey,
State Senator Frank Ball, Judge
Edward w. Smith and E. H. De
Jarnette are fighting for the
Democratic nomination for Con.
greSS, indicates that Captain
Mackey and E. H. DeJarnette are
arouSing more enthusiasm on ac-
count of the wet and dry queS-
ton than any of the other can
didateS.
Captain Mackey has come out
flat-footed for the repeal of the
Volstead law and wants the LIQUOR
question left to the States as to
how it shall be dealt with. He
says he knows that it is i'm
possible at this time to get suf-
ficient votes to repeal the Eight
zenith Amendment, but if the Vol
stead law is repealed it will leave
the liquor question to be decided
by the different States.
E. H. DeJarnette is reported to
be arouSing the voters to a high
pitch of enthusiasm over his ad-
vocacy of allowing each adult
voter a quart of liquor each
month if he wants it. This was
originally the Virginia liquor law
and in the main gave satisfaction
to almost everybody. DeJarrnette
and Mackey are said to be having
immense crowds to hear them
where the wet and dry question
is discussed.
Senator Ball is an ultra dry.
The State Anti-Saloon League is
reported to be standing Solidly
behind him, while Judge Smith,
according to the .Culpeper Ex-
ponent, one of the leading Demo
cratic papers of the district, is

Ban on Movies Hits
Cinen1ds in Britain

Forced by law to exhibit a
certain number of British films
each year, and with few high
class films of that type avail
able, London motion picture
houses are facing a crisis, the
Commerce Department was ad-
vised yesterday.
The West End cinemas are
particularly hard hit by the
films act which requires ex-
hibitors to show a minimum of
712 per cent of British films
each year. There are eight pre-
mier houses in the West End,
six of which cannot show pic
lures that have appeared pre-
viously in that section.
Thus nearly so British films
of West End standard are re-
quired for the present quota
year, with only about 40. many
Of which are below standard, in

seemed incredible to many, since for

idol OF the Mexican army.
Gen. Gustave Salinas, who has the
distinction of being the first man to fly
a war plane-in the revolution against
Porf1rio DiaZ, before the World War
also holds the record for being exiled
the most times from Mexico. Salinas
is twice exiled, having supported two

life has not prevented his sartorial in

/ Gen. Jose Gonzalo Escobar, termed
the rebel commander in chief Of the
1929 instruction, is exiled in the United
States, but no news Of him has reached
Mexico for some time. The last word
about him was to the effect that he
was near the United States-Canada
border.
Gen. Francisco r. Manzo and Gen.
Fausto Topete. Escobar's co-leaders In
the Inflated 1929 revolution, are both
working in the United States-Manzo
at San Diego, Calf, and Topete IN Los
Angeles.
Topete Turned Pill Salesman.
Gen. Topete began his exiled career
by selling pills designed to relieve head
aches in Los Angeles, but the movie
fever pulled him into the scenario
mesheS, and he is now writing scenarios
in Los Angeles, using his knowledge of
Latin America to good advantage in
giving the rapidly developing Spanish
talkies some true color and background.
Gen. Manzo is operating a service
station at San Diego. But the movie
fever has also caught hold of him, it is
reported here, and with the booming
Spanish talkies gradually becoming a
reality he is understood to be project
ing a Spanish talkie studio. Manzo at
one time was powerful war lord" in
Mexico. He once commanded one of
Mexico's strongest army corps.
Gilberto Valenzuela, civilian head of
the 1929 revolution, is now owner of a

former Minister to the Court of st.

gasoline station, his large silver mine in
Chihuahua, which is said to have fur
nished him monthly income of $780,

Caraveo at one time was so powerful in
Mexico that his downfall seems in
credible to many.
