PRICE CHIEF FACTOR
IN BOOSTING SALES
Survey Indicates Early Part Of
Present Year Will See Gradual
Business Gains.

Sales executives can anticipate dur
ing the early months of 1881 a gradu-
ally expanding volume of business, in
contrast with the last quarter of 1880,
says the Standard Statistics Co. in
publishing the results Of country wide
survey Of sales prospects.
Strenuous efforts by sales managers
will be required to overcome continued
strong consumer resistance, and price
will be the paramount factor in most
transactions. As compared with the
opening months of 1890, aggregate busi-
ness volume in the initial quarter of
1881 probably will experience a decline
Of at least per cent.
Conditions, of course, vary widely in
the different sections of the country,
and recovery from the current depres-
sion doubtless viii be extremely irregl-
lar. A short appraisal Of prospects in
various major areas follows:
Middle Atlantic States-Increasin
business activity may be expected early
In. 1881, although sales accomplishments
viii undoubtedly fall at least 10 per
cent under those Of January and Feb
ruary, 1880.
South Atlantic States-A drop Of 30
per cent in value Of cotton pickings and
q IS per cent reduction in income from
tobacco brought 1880 farm income to a
level ~ per cent below that of 1929.
Sales during the flrst quarter Of 1881
viii likely fail by at least per cent to
equal those Of similar 1880 months.
South Central States-Incone Of
farmers In this section in 1880 was like
wise drastically curtailed, amounting 10
only about 81 per cent Of that received
in 1929. January and February, 1881
sales likely viii not equal more than 90
per cent OF those reported for the same
months Of 1880.

FIRM STOCK TREND
well MAINTAINED
Market Closes Week With
+ Sentiment Still Hopeful
of Trade Gain.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Aaaociated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, January 10.-The stock
market again found itself in strong
hands at the end of the week today.
Despite the active selling movement
which developed late yesterday, the list
ntiffened soon after the start Of today's
short session and while the advances
we're marrow, the closing tone was firm.
The list was helped by q retreat Of the
shorts in the chemical issues, and ex-
pectation of a favorable United States
Steel tonnage report at the close, an
expectation which was not disappointed.
Trading was light, the transactions ag-
NRregsting 10000 shares.
Gains Recorded.
Allied Chemical regained half of yes
terday's e-point drop, and shares clos
ing q point or two higher included
United States Steel, Republic Steel,
American Tobacco B, American Woolen
Shares, MathieSon Alkali, Nash, Loew's,
Eastman, Sears, Penick and Ford, Gold
Dust, Continental Baking A, New York
Central. Rock Island, Union Pacific and
! Baltimore & Ohio. A few of the rails
ran into profit taking, however, and
.Lehigh, Norfolk g. Western and Lacka-
wanna lost about points.
United States Steel's gain of 03,960
tons in untitled orders during Decem-
; Der was better than expected, most re-
cent forecasts indicating an upturn Of
200, 900 to ATS, 900 tons. Earlier, how
ever, q jump of 100000 to 100000 had
been talked Of.
News from the steel industry was
generally cheerful, including an esti-
mate Of next weeks operations In the
youngstown area, indicating an increase
Of about per cent United States
Steel is expected to step up operations
In various areas next week, making an
aggregate gain in its output Of perhaps
as much as 7 per cent. In the main
. the expected January resumption OF
activity seems to be going of Is
expected.
Numerous mergers reports regarding
independent steel companies are again
!. coming into Wall Street. 1t Is recognized
that II Bethlehem abandons its effort
!. TO consolidate with Youngstown Sheet
q Tube, 1t may seek other properties,
but the renewal of reports Of an
inclusive combination of Bethlehem,
Republic, YOUNGSTOWN and several 9TH
BrS, which were heard about q year
ago, were not encouraged IN financial
circles.
Rail Merger Plan.
The final abandonment Of the latest
: Great Northern Northern Pacific Rail-
way merger plan was not unexpected In
Wall Street. Bankers say that plans
which involve the necessity Of divest-
: nnsnt Of holdings In other roads are
not likely Of fruition In times of low
stock prices, and what the carriers
might consider really attractive prices
are unlikely until general business is
, again on . prosperity basis.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, January 10-ProbabI-
ity of q technical reaction, which many
believe will be quite temporary. Is
stressed in commission house adviceS 10
stock market customers today. Opn-
ions follow:
Pask g. Walbridge-A moderate cor
receive setback appears likely ana would
improve the technical position materl-
ally. We advise reasonable prof1t-taklng
because we believe that a further period
Of irregular liquidation is likely within
the next two months, and should pro-
vide attractive buying opportunities 1or
profit later this year. Speculative forces,
at the moment, are evenly balanced, ana
the market could respond promptly TO
unexpected news developments.
Smith, Graham & Rockwell-Bullish
argument are beginning to disappear
The market Is thin and only small risks
should be assumed on long positions.
The trend appears to have turned down
again.
Redmond 81 Cove still feel that
another effort may be made to test out
the December lows within the next few
weeks, particularly If the trend OF
Spring business Is disappearing. On
the other hand, If the recent improve
menC in the steel industry and a few
other lines continues, the December lows
may mark the bottom Of the bear mar
ket At the moment, 1t is still any ones
guess, and for that reason we continue
to advise cautious investment and
trading policy.
Jackson Bros, Boesel & Cove
are in favor of adhering to policy of
conservative optimism with respect to
operations in the stock market, but feel
that the extent of the recovery from the
December lows has been Of SUFFICIENT
proportions to emphasize the need Of
temporary correction.
Hornblower e. Weeks-It is our belief
that the market will probably steady it
self in the early part of next week and
move gradually forward.

These essential steps, the financier
asserts, will involve at least temporary
sacrifice, which must be paid for in part
with increased Federal revenues from
taxation, but which will reap their re-
ward in improved conditions both in
this country and abroad.
u. s. Fortunate.
THE people of the United States have
been fortunate in being able to escape
from heavy tax burden comparable to
that in some European countries since
the war" he said. Postwar conditions
have contributed to q high degree of
prosperity in this country during the
last 10 years, which, in turn, made pos
sible both reductions in Federal tax
alton and the retirement Of consider
able portion of the public debt out of
annual surpluses. There are several
good reasons, however, to believe that
this exceptionally happy period has
reached its conclusion.
War debts and tariffs stand as bar
r1ers which must be demolished, at least
in part before concerted movement
can lead to lasting stability. Our own
duty In this regard is greater than that
Of any other nation. In order to en-
able our debtors to continue payment

European countries with high tar1f1s

cause farmers are reluctant to change
from wheat to other grains.
Excluding Russia and China. the
trade estimates the worlds wheat sup
Div this year to be 160,000,000 bushels
less than last year. That figure, 1t
says, would indicate a normal reserve
at the end of the season If acreage re-
duction continues. Much the same
condition obtained in 1894 and a few
years later there was much agitation
about a possible world shortage OF
wheat.
The Government estimates re-
duction of 100000 acres in Winter
wheat alone. There undoubtedly will
be a reduction in the Spring wheat
area, and reduction in the Canadian
acreage is forecast at 100000 acres
There is a private estimate tnai

20 per cent of the current domestic

CHINA WHEAT SALE
MAY BOOST PRICES
Private Forecasts in the
Trade Point to Market
Improvement.
BY FRANK 1. WELLER,
Associated Press Farm Editor.

II previously expressed trade opinions
hold good, the Governments sale OF
$4,000. 900 bushels of wheat to China on
long time credit might be expected to
pull the futures market out OF the new
low ground reached last week.
The amount is described as only a
drop In the bucket but sufficient to
relieve the farm board of part of its
heavy storage costs, give work to the
unemployed in grinding some of it into
flour and start the machinery rolling
toward reduction of Sterilization stocks
to around 100.000,000 bushels. That
amount, the trade says. might be alb
sorbed by the market in view OF the
reduced acreages for next season.
Private forecasts, prior to the deal,
were for higher domestic prices as
result of it.
Sag In Futures.
The sag in futures was ascribed to
slow export demand for the large stocks
In surplus areas and continued heavy
offerings from Russia. Soviet ship
ments during August have been esti-
mated at 22.500000 bushels against
less than 100000 bushels for the
same month last year. 1t is indicated

Domestic shipments to this territory
increased from $4l9,e01 in 1927 to

NEW YORK, September S.-High
Federal taxes are the inevitable price

declared by John Moody, president Of
Moody's Investors Service, in a state
ment issued today. No solid basis for
enduring prosperity can be built with
out relieving the burden of inter-
governmental debts and excessive tariffs,
Mr.. Moody believes, and he places the
responsibility for such action primarily
upon the United States because Of our
position as the largest creditor nation

Whether debts are reduced or the
tariff pared, Mr.. Moody points out that
the people Of the United States must
shoulder a certain amount Of temporary
sacrifice. Its temporary character, he
adds, is insured by the fact that the
resulting benefits to world trade should
eventually rebound to the increased
Wellbeing Of this country.

New York, January 2i (JP) Having established a new endur- ance record. Ralph Sanders. Texas cowboy. is resting up today with his Mexican bull, Jerry. which he rode from Brownsville. Texas, to New York in 254 days. In the 2,70O mile bull ride, Sanders spanned the Ozarks and the Alleghenies, gained 12 pounds and proved the feasibility of long distance travel by bull to the. satisfaction of skeptics back home.
 The bull gained 90 pounds. wore out II pairs of steel shoes and learned considerable about georgra- phy. Sanders came to New York, he said, to see Mayor Walker. He brought the mayor a 52-inch pair or steers horns, and was disappointed when he learned Walker was ill and would not be able to accept the token for few days.
