Not the running of good CLUBS

Corby's rise as one of the

1893 he attended local schools
and the University of Penn

He succeeded to the manage

IMPROVED TONE
IS. SEEN SIGN
Of UPSN|NG
Economist Points Out That
Betterment of Commodities
Is Changing Business Trend
By LEWIS HANEY
Director, New York University Bureau
of Business Research and Former
Economist Of Federal Trade
Commission


Some improvement in the cheer
fulness of business sentiment may
be noted here and there. This
seems to be due chiefly to the
fact that 1880 cuts less of a figure
in mems minds as they look
ahead toward the end of 1881.
But. more than that, some re-
ports of revivi:ng industrial activ'
ity are coming in. Several Mid
West motor manufacturers have
expanded operations. Some rail
way car shops have taken on
more men. Steel production
spurted to more than 40 per cent
of capacity, against only Is per
cent at the end of the year.
The big question now is: How
much does the pickup mean?
Will it last?
The Seasonal Factor
Here we must remember our old
friend COR enemy, perhaps, the
seasonal variation" factor We
must remember that in many
lines business volume always
slumpS at the end of the year,
and always picks up at the begin
ming of January. First, the plants
close down late in December,
when they have supplied the holi-
day demand and want to take
inventories. Then they open up
again and begin to produce for
spring trade.
Such changes are purely sea-
sonal and mean little as to the
underlying trend of business, un-
less they are greater than usual
for the season.
We cannot say yet whether the
amount of pickup is as much as
usual or not. Therefore, we
should be cautious in drawing
optimistic conclusions. But we
can at least say that the usual
seasonal forces have been strong
enough to show up in spite of
any declining trend. There is
hope in that fact.
Meanwhile, December figures
have begun to come in, and are
not very favorable. Building &C
tivity last month touched a new
low level-the lowest since May,
1921. The amount Of new con-
Struction reported as being
planned for Slumped sharply,

RAILROADS ASKED :.

~ the Associated Press.
Railroads seeking a general Is per
cent increase in freight rates were di-
rected by the Interstate Commerce
Commission yesterday to specify what
commodities they intend to exclude
from the proposed changes. Agricultur-
al products were placed at the head of
a list Of commodities on which the COM
mission asked this information. Farm
leaders have expressed unqualified op-
position to approval Of the general in
crease.
The data was requested by the COM
mission in an order inStructing the
railroads to file bills OF particulars with

the original petition were given an op-
portunity to become parties to the case.
The commission, announced also that
q committee representing State railroad
commissions would sit with 1t when
hearings are begun.
Applications for higher intrastate
rates are planned by the roads as a
complement to the petition for inter-
state increases.
Information on the commodities to
be excluded was asked so that their
producers may be saved the time and
inconvenience of making appearances
and representations in the case
Today's order said that If the rail-
roads do not intend increasing all rates,
they must state the exceptions, particu-
larly whether they are prepared to make
increases lin all existing rates on grain
and grain products, cotton, other agri-
cultural and horticultural products, in
cluding live stock. non-ferrous metals,
iron and steel articles, petroleum and
its products, lumber and automobiles
and in all existing class rates, and If
not, what exceptions as to these rates
they propose to make"
The commission directed that all car
riers wishing to be considered parties
to the case make written appearances.
It also asked statement as to wheth-
er railroads operating into Canada and
Mexico were included In the petition
and whether 1t was concurred in by
these roads, and by water lines and
carriers participating in rail and water
rates.
kilograms from Senator Brookhart,
Republican. Of Iowa and the Kansas
Railroad Commission opposing the in
crease were made public yesterday by

Brookhart insisted in his telegram
that railroad values we're inflated I'M
der present conditions and that the
railroads should be willing to take a
rate of return similar to that enjoyed
by other capital, which he said is now
below per cent. The Kansas COM
mission said that agriculture could not
beat the increase.
