SIGNS Of TRADE
RECOVERY ARE
SCANNED
Haney Finds Many in Sight,
. But Fears Speculation
May Cause Relapse
BY LEWIS HANEY
Director New York University Bureau
Of Business Research.


Of Business Research.
Business developments during
the past week have not been very
definite or conclusive. Perhaps
the best that can be said is that
signs that basic industries are
probably at or very near bottom
levels are more apparent.
One Of the most notable facts
is that the business patient is far
from dead. The quick revuIsion
in sentiment when the loss Of
gold was checked certainly showed
hope, and where there is life
there is hope.
Relapse To Be Feared
In fact. we may we'll wonder
if the sick business patient has
not grasped too eagerly at the
rise in wheat. Perhaps there is
still too much speculative tever
left in business. If the patient
gets up too soon, we might fear
a relapse.
The most wholesome symptoms
are the irregular stability in com.
modify prices, and certain in
dicationS that industrial activity
may be dragging bottom. If such
signs continue to develop, a
sound recovery will not be dis
tant
Aside from the largely specula-
tive movement in wheat, the fact
remains that for a considerable
time we have been seeing about
as many advances in commodity
prices as declines.
This is a favorable indication.
A stabiliZatiOn of the prices Of
basic raw materials would be one
of the earliest symptoms Of con-
valeScence.
PayrOlls Near Bottom
note, too, that factory pay
rolls have fallen so low in COM
parison with the number en-
ployed that they compare with
conditions found near the bottoms
of other depreSSionS.
This means that wage reduc-
tiOnS and part-time work have
gone pretty far.
1t seems too early however. to
expect the patient to sit up, let
alone get out of bed. We must
admit that most of the statistical
indexes still show no recovery.
They still point downward. And
in November, most basic indus
tries show seasonal let down.

Texas Farmers Work and Live at Home

1t Is not true "that everybody works but father"
Father and all the family are said to be working in Texas
this year and living at home. Texas crops were produced
at a low cost and with a minimum OF borrowed money this
year "as farmers lived at home more extensively than in
years." a report of the Dallas News survey covering at
least 200 counties in the issue of July % said with pic
lures and statistical tables. IL the agricultural editor of
the News is correct in his analysis several factors entered
into cheap production Of crops. They include the living
at home program, Improvements in farming conditions in
scattered areas Of the state, low prices for farm products,
and strict attention to the daily work program. Well, all
the crop estimates bear out the accuracy Of the survey.
Texas produced an enormous crop Of wheat. Texas will
have corn for export. Texas produced an enormous ot
crop. Texas produced heavy crops of citrus fruits. Texas
trucksters harvested large crops Of vegetables. Texas
growers planted large acreages of the Irish and sweet
potatoes and the yield is ~flattering. Texas produced an
enormous peach crop and its berry crop was one of the
heaviest in recent years. Texans are going in for poultry
but they are light on the pig idea. As for the Texas dairy
ing industry It is making gigantic strides. Yes, they are all
working down on the farm in the year of our Lord 1881.
They are living at home down on the farm. 1t Is a sensi-
Bile start in the right direction. As for the cattlemen they
had a prosperous spring and summer following in the
wake of an easy winter and the wool and mohair and NUT
ION and goat meat producers are not growing. Texas
escaped the ravages Of a drouth this year. July rains
spread over the state. This insures pasturage in the live
stock sections and moisture for the truck farms and gar
dens of the commonwealth. Never forget that the sun
always rises in the east and does its setting in the west.
Texans are looking to the rising and not the setting sun.
