CANADIAN DIVIDEND
PAYMENTS HEAVY
December to Set New High Record
for Distribution for Amy
Month in Year.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 20.-Divi-
dend payments of S50,260,6 82 by
Canadian corporations and institutions
during the month of December will set
new high record for distribution in

OF this total, $47,l12,990 is in cash

dends is the regular 1919 cents share

too little heed to the future. Likewise,
some workers, whose incomes have been
in no way reduced, are prone to go to
the opposite extreme of near-hoarding
in times of depression.
Pessimism IS hardly justified at the
present time. 1t exists, to be sure, but
business men who have been through
previous periods of depression are be-
ginning to see the signs and symptoms
that the bottom has been reached. 1t
seems to me as though we are now pass
ing through the period of liquidation.
This means that we are setting our bus
mess house in order and getting ready
for the upward climb. At least, that has
been the experience in the past, and
there is no reason to believe our present
situation is any different as to cause,
effect and recovery than in other periods
of depression.
Wage Scales.
While there has been considerable
unemployment, wage scales have not
been materially reduced. Once en-
ployment picks UP. wage earnerS will
still be on a high level of purchasing
power That should be a prime factor
in fastening recovery.
SURPRISES from overproduction are
rapidly being cleared out, according to
the survey made by the Barnes Com
mittee. This will go long way toward
helping to balance production and con-
sumption. Investigating agencies re-
port that retailers have been buying
from hand to mouth, so to speak, for
some months now. Their stock is re-
ported as being very low, due to holi-
day purchases.
Many qualified observers do not hesi-
tate to declare that we have about
reached the low price level in COM
modities, although price recession in
some lines is still evident. II they are
correct in their opinion, this can be
taken as another indication that we are
in sight of better times.
Money is easy at the present time.
Nor is there any indication that the
immediate future will change the sit
uation. This, too, can be taken as a
sign that we are on the way to re-
covery. AS matter of fact, I believe
that our emergence from the depres-
sion that began over a year ago will
not be long postponed. 1t will not be
sudden, but it should be steady.

TWO BIG RAILROADS
IN STEEL MARKET
Moves by Pennsy and New York
Central Held Highly Impor-
tant in Pittsburgh.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special DlSpdJCn TO Inc star.
PITTSBURGH, December 20.-When
the tonnage to date in the annual rail-
buying movement has been SO light it
is distinctly favorable point that the
New York Central and the Pennsyl-
vania Roads are now both in the
market.
Most of the roads that have bought
have taken smaller tonnage than for
merly, but on the whole with only
slight decreases, and the main cause of
the lightneSS of the season total to
date is the latenesS of buying. In each
of the last three years the New York
Central bought before the middle of
November, but this year the inquiry
was issued only last week, while in
each of the last three years the Penn
Sylvania bought in october, but only
issued its inquiry against 1881 rails
couple of days ago.
The New York Centrals inquiry for
175,000 tons Is only slightly below the
systems average in the last three years.
The Pennsylvania Railroads inquiry for
rails appears to be for 10000 tons
positive, with option on $4,000 tons
additional. Last year the $4,000 tons
reported were understood to involve no
option.
In an attempt to cast up the gen.
eral prospects of the steel trade in the
next few months rails and structural
steel are two items of particular inter-
est. In the case of rails, regularly
there is very heavy production in the
first half of the year and very light
production in the second half, which
of course has been the experience in
the last few months. Thus the steel
industry has had nothing to lose, as
to its general pace, in connection with
rails while IL has a chance to gain in
that respect in the next few months,
and it is clear that it will have quite
a gain.

Christmas Sales
Record Expected
To Be Maintained
Enormous Demand for
Annual Gifts Is Now
Reaching Peak.
BY J. C. ROYLE.

Christmas sales are reaching their
peak. That means a volume of activity
which will compare most favorably with
other years, although the total money
spent may fall below record levels.
The main factors which are holding
UP the laSt-minute burst of buying
are the kids-juvenile and adult. Gifts
providing recreation and amusement
are being bought in large quantities
Toys are not the flimsy articles they
once were. They are being built to
last and are bought with the idea that
their attraction will be continuous.
Wheel goods, metal toys and minia-
ture indoor models of outdoor games
all have attracted attention. Dolls, of
course, have held their own. Whole
sale toy production for the year in this
country will probably equal 100000
600. but many toys sold here are i'm
ported
Gifts for GrOwn-ups.
For the grown-up youngsters the
gifts follow a similar IL more mature
trend. Sports equipment, ranging from
wooden golf tees to motor boats, Is be-
ing selected by thousands of buyers.
1t is doubtful, sporting goods dealers
report, whether so many golf Access
series ever were purchased in a similar
period. Equipment and clothing for
tennis, archery, skating and other sports
are adding their full quota to sales
totals.
In many cities merchants are stress
ing cellar" games for boys and girls
and men and women. The theory Is
that new heating arrangements have
given space for these amusementS in
quarters hitherto devoted to coal bins
and wood piles. Such games include
miniature and full sized billiard and
pool tables, game tables, air pistol
ranges, ping pong tables and similar
products.
The sale of books for juveniles and
groWn-ups has been enormous, aided
by the cheaper editions and the in
creased number of retail outlets opened
to the book trade in the last year.
Candy Sales.
OficialS of the Department Of Com
merce estimate that between II ana IL
per cent of the whole years business
of candy dealers will be disposed OF this
month This will bring the total whole
sale value Of candy products sold for
the year to around $315 900 900. The
Christmas trade usually necessitates
fancy boxes, for the palmer varieties
of chocolates and package candies are
in less demand than their better
dressed relatives. Hard candies for
children are selling freely at this time.
The sale of nuts will probably bring
the total per capita consumption OF
unshelled varieties to around 10 pounds

GRADUAL RISE SEEN
In AUTO PRODUCTION
About 100000 Cars and Trucks
Expected to Be Built Early
in 1881.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


DETROIT, December 20.-With auto
mobile manufacturing scheduled to
enter 1881 on basis of 60 to 20 per
cent of normal output, various estimates
OF what the trend will be next year
are being made. The belief is that the
first quarter will show a gradual pro-
duction rise which will peak up to
about 100000 cars and trucks.
With April bringing the return of
good driving weather and other favor
able conditions, the forecasters think
a spectacular runup to more than l.
100000 may come for the second three
months. This calculation takes into
account the mounting backlog of de-
layed purchasing which, it is figured.
will assert itself sooner than anticipated
With the total of automotive vehicles
IN the country now exceeding 27,0OO,-
900 In spite of the slump year, replace
ment during 1881 calls for a definite
requirement of 100000, or approx
mately 20 per cent. If only 100000
should be replaced, such retail volume
would constitute fair basis on which
the large producers could maintain
operations.
Conservatism, with strict budgeting
OF the volume below retail demands,
is continuing in virtually all factories.
This means that the prevailing level
OF go per cent or normal is being
maintained. Tapering off by some
plants that brought their new models
out several months ago will be offset
by Step-ups that others who will in
troduce cars at show time are making
to get new floor stocks in the hands of
dealers.
The General Motors increase in sales
to dealers during November, which
showed 48,155 cars and trucks, as COM
pared with 39,745 in the corresponding
month last year, is largely credited to
the advancing of the Chevrolet new
model program two months ahead of
the usual time.
