DECLINE I
General Business Recession Is
Blamed for Adverse Effect
On Business Equipment Cos.

The general business recession,
both domestic and foreign, has
had a decidedly adverse effect on
sales of office and business equip
ment in recent months. Although
complete data for this trade are
unavailable at the present time.
the indications are that aggre-
gate volume of business for the
first six months of the current
year was 10 per cent ito 20 per
cent under that Of the cores
ponding 1929 period according to
a recent survey Of the Standard
Statistics Company, Of New York.
The survey continues:
Reduction in prOduc ePS'
earnings for the recent period
was undoubtedly even more
severe for the marked increase
in operating expenses resulting
from curtaiIment In production,
perfOrce, restricted profit mar
gins "a h er considerably. In
consequence, earnings of the
industry, as a whole, during the
AnASAdA AOOW h@h PUS91DAJ MC-
clined by as much as rs per
cent to 80 per cent from the
similar period Of last year.
'WhiIe returns for the final
half Of 1880 should not recede
substantially from recent re-
suits, conversely, il is unlikely
that they will even approach
the record earnings of the final
half of 1929. The longer term
profit outlook, nevertheless, re-
mains favorable. As an impOr-
tant equipment producer, the
industry should be one of the
first to benefit from the return
Of general business activity to
normal. This trade, in fact, has
always been characterized by
its exceptional recuperative
powers following periods of de-

'"They certainly are doing e.

stocks turned sharply upward be-
fore the close. The market yes
terday was the broadest in manV
weeks. Vanadium was kept ic
the forefront throughout the trad

other leaders were advanced and
it was significant that closing
prices included new highs on tn,

ber Of other groups, including the
film and business machine stocks
were given whirl.

Radio
The Street is buzzing with the
story that Radios sen1i.annual
report, due in the next two or
three weeks, will be "cimply ter
rible." Yet brokers' in close touch
with the radio market interests,
advise strongly against short sell
ing, declaring that the stock may
even have rise when the report
Is out of the way. The safesS
thing is to let Radio severely
alone. It can hardly show anr
great earnings for the year, even
though the second half is by far
the best from an operating stand
point, and there are the addi-
tional unfavorable factors of the
heavy capitalization and the Gov
ernment antitrust suit.

Vanadium
Vanadium for the time being
seems to have Supplanted Radio
as a market leader. It is a
beautifully acting stock from
the speculative standpoint and
its wide daily swings admit Of
real quick-turn profits. It's just
so much dynamite" however.

way up. Meehan it is reported,

its gyrations.
