Business Static,
y. s. Report Says

RICHMOND, Va, July a.
Business conditions in the Fifth
Federal Reserve district offered
little basis for favorable comment
during May, although the month
was not without favorable signs,
says the review just issued by
William w. Hoxton, chairman
and Federal Reserve agent.
Debts to individual accounts
considered by the bank as a
fairly good indicator Of business
activity, were lower during the
four weeks ended June II than
in the preceding four weeks this
year and the corresponding four
weeks in 1929, the decline being
uniformly distributed over the en-
tire district. Some allowance was
made. however, for lower prices
this year.
Business failures in the dis
trict during May were 6 per cent
more numerous than failure in
May last year, and liabilities in
volved in insolvencies last month
showed an increase of approx
mately so per cent over the May,
1929, liabilities.
Employment conditions did
not improve as much as seasonal
activities might have implied, and
it cannot be said that prospects
for early improvements are at
present any better than they
were q month or six weeks ago."
the review said.

Nv LEWIS HANEY

Director New York University Bureau OF
Business Research and Former Econ
omist of Federal Trade Commission.
Let us take an unprejudiced
look at the recent business news
to see if any turn for the better
is apparent.
First, we note that the trend Of
commodity prices has continued
downward. Last week, the num-
her Of declines far exceeded the
advances, and the various weekly
indexes" were all lower. The de-
clines included pig iron, lead,
zinc, aluminium, gasoline, cotton
cloth, silk and beef and pork.
Prices averaged the lowest since
1916.
But tin and rubber did a little
better and the great speculative
staples, cotton and wheat, closed
the week about unchanged. Prices
are getting so low, compared with
production costs, that greater re-
Sistance to declines should now
be seen.
Second, it is clear that business
activity has fallen off q little
further-as is to be expected
when prices are declining. Busi-
ness men do, not want to buy on
falling markets.
No Improvement In June
The May industrial average
declined more than usual, and
lost all it's April gain. Thus far
in June we find the consumption
Of electrical power by manufac-
turing industries on the down
grade. The iron and steel indus
try shows reduced activity. The
demand for copper is very dull.
One of the chief factors is the
slump in the automobile business.
Motor manufacturers are curtail-
ing and some are going to close
down for q period. From Chi
cago, we learned that May retail
motor sales fell 20 per cent below
April in that section, and stocks
of new cars increased. (Such
stocks, however. were a little be-
low a year ago. AS a result,
sales of motor parts have de-
clined, and production as re-
ported by the manufacturers in
May was IA, against 1853 in
April, and 245 year ago.
Car Loading Decline
Railway car loadings make an
unfavorable showing from week
to week, and clearly indicate that
the general trend Of industrial
activity is still downward. Last
week we learned that the rail-
ways did not do we'll in May.
Their gross revenues appear to
have been about 33 per cent be-
hind May, 1929. and their net
operating income about 13 per
cent lower.
Wheat is beginning to move,
and that may help the carriers,
but prices are so low and terminal
facilities so congested that the
farmers are discouraged. It does
not seem that farm purchasing
power can be counted on as a
favorable factor this year. The
recent slump in livestock prices
has added to the farmers troubles.
Retail Trade SpOtty
Evidently retail trade in June
has been very Spotty, and on the
whole will show a decline. Com.
ing on top Of May department
store sales that were 2 per cent
halow last year's figure. this b nok

Judge Declares
Harry Langdon
Not Love Thief

Los ANGELES, July :. U.P)-
Holding il effect that Harry Lang
don is not q love thief Superior
Judge Samuel Blake today returned
Judgment for the screen comedian
IN The suit of Thomas ]. O'Brien
seeking 10 force Langdon to make
payment OF notes in the amount OF
.SIl, 800.
Tht notes were given to O'Bren
III settlement OF an alienation of
affections suit he threatened to
bring against Langdon when the
latter married the former Mrs.
0'Brieu.
The screen actor declined to
make payment on the notes on the
ground that the present Mrs. Lang
don had ceased TO love O'Brien long
before she deserted him and was
: divorced. lie said hc gave the
notes only because an alienation OF
affections suit and the resulting
publicity would have caused can
collation. of film contract he then
held.
O'Blion, on the other hand, claim
ed that Langdon stole the love of
! the one-time Mrs. O'Brien and that
while she was still Mrs. O'Brien she
vas guilty of. improper acts with
Langdon.
In his lengthy decision, Judge
Blake ruled that there was no evi-
dence to indicate that when Lang
don stepped into the life of the
( former Mrs. O'Bricn he did so to
pirate her love.
The jurist held that O'Brien's
threatened $250,000 alienation of
affections suit apparently was not
entered i'll good faith since he must
have known that his wife's affee-
tions were gone from him long be-
fore she met Langdon.
Judge Blake said he did not be-
lievc Langdon acted immorally
with the former Mrs. C'Brien before
she was divorced from O'Rrien.
In one point he ruled against
Langdon. He declined to favor the
comedians request, made in a
cross complaint, to force O'Brien to
return $4,000 in cash paid at the
same time the notes were given.
