PLANT ACTIVITY
GAINS IN YEAR

There have been two major
manufacturing slumps siIsce the
end of the war. The first major
slump began in 1920 and ended
in 1921, the second began in 1929
and is still in progress. The
1920-'21 recession has not yet been
equalled in severity by the cur
rent recession, consequently still
holds first place as the worst
slump since the war ended. The
current slump holds second place,
says the Alexander Hamilton In
stitute, having already far sur
passed in severity the two minor
recessions. The first minor reces-
sion began in 1928 and ended in
1924. The second and the less
severe Of the two began in 1926
and ended in 1927.
When manufacturing activity
reached the bottom in 1921, the
quantity of goods produced was
34.4 per cent smaller than at the
peak in 1920. This compares
with a reduction of 27.5 per cent
in 1924, of 15.9 per cent in 1927
and a 31.5 per cent up to the
present time in 1880.
The current slump. however,
has been even less serious in
comparison with the 1920-2l re.
cession than is indicated by the
curtailment in the quantity OF
goods produced. This has been
due to the fact that there has
been a much less drastic slump
in commodity prices. So far in
the current slump, the drop in
the value of output has amounted
to AIS per cent. This compares
with a decrease of 62.2 per cent
in 1920-21, of 33.4 per cent in
192324 and 17.6 per cent in
1926-27. Furthermore, the total
amount of wages to factory work
ers has shown much less de.
crease.

TONNAGE
MAY SHOW GAIN

Although little was heard dur.
ing November Of any improve
ment in steel buying. it is expect
ed that the untitled tonnage re-
port Of the U. g.. steel Corp,
to be published at noon Wednes.
day, will show an increase for
the second successive month.
The gain is generally estimated
to be in excess of the SLABS tons
shown for October, with several
optimistic circles anticipating an
increase Of 100000 tons. Any in
crease In November, will compare
with a gain Of 38,783 tons in the
same month q year ago and q de-
crease Of 5000 tons in Noyem-
ber, 1928, and will bring untitled
orders to the highest point reach
ed since July this year.
