Report Relates Failure of
General Expectations
for Recovery.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The rewards or courage, initiative and
enterprise in business "typically Amer
lcan we're etched again today on the
the world business map.
It was the success Of those industries
that refused to be downed by depressed
conditions which Julius II. barnes.
chairman Of the National Business Sur
vey Conference, singled out in a survey
which related the failure of general
"sanguine expectations" for uuickened
trade by the end of the year.
The new report covered, for most
lines, IL months Of the year. Retail
trade was off per cent, postal receipts
still below 1929, foreign trade continued
to decline, 81 per cent less new capital
was f1oated than last year and short
term credit continued abundant. but
about 2 per cent cheaper
The public's rejuvenated saving pro-
pensitieS were reflected in Christmas
saving funds exceeding $500, 900 600. of
which 38 per cent was calculated to 90
into holiday spending, and new life in
surance written at a rate leading to a
years total of $18,500, 900, 900, 81 ,0OO,-
100000 higher than the average of the
past five years. Savings deposits of all
kinds were higher and the life insurance
companies held almost six billions of
mortgage loans.
While collections were holding up
wei installment buying was being cur
tailed and a higher rate of delinuuen-
cles appeared in agricultural sections.
The construction industries were way
OF, more than half-billion drop in
private construction Swamping the
$200,000,000 increase of public works
and utility expansion. Sympatheticall.
cement production dropped 20 per cent,
lumber output was down, brick ship
ments were SO per cent below last year
and plumbing and heating supplies
registered a production decline Of 80
to 60 per cent.
Reduced car loadings were coupled
with substantially increased railroad
capital expenditures. Electric consump-
ton was pulled down by the industrial
decline, though domestic and CONNER
cial use increased. Gasoline refineries
ran at two-thirds capacity, coal was off
pig iron was 80 per cent lower, steel
mills operated two-thirds capacity and
automobile production went down %
per cent, with foreign sales off 43 per
cent.
Miscellaneous industries showed SIM
nar drops, but improvement was de-
veloping in the textile industry. partic-
ularly cotton, during October.
The years total magazine advertising
expenditures were approximately un-
changed from last year. Radio, which
lost in sales, showed large advertising
increase.
Foreign conditions we're summed
tnus: Some improvement in Great Brit
am, Germany, China; UNCHANGED in
5elglum, the Netherlands, Canada and
Japan; further declines in the rest.
