BUYING POWER
IS BIC FACTOR

The drastic decline in aggre-
gate, purchasing power, which is
both a cause and an effect of
part and full time unemploy-
ment, has doubtless been the
predominating factor in aggra-
waiting and prolonging the pres
ent depression, says the Stand
ard Statistics Company, Of New
York., in discussing the pros
poets of business recovery in
1881. A current bulletin of the
company, continues in part:
1--WE estimate that the cur
rent rate of annual income Of
all workers, exclusive Of those
in agriculture and Federal en-
pIOy, is approximately IS bill
lion dollars, as compared with
q peak rate in 1929 Of shout
44.6 billion. This represents q
decline Of 9.6 billion, or BIS
per cent. The most severe re-
ductiOnS have occurred in the
building and metal trades.
Manufacturing Off
"In manufacturing, industries,
unusually severe declines have
been registered in most branches
Of textiles and iron and steel,
and in lumber, leather, brick
and tile, glass, brass and
bronze, automobiles, agricultural
implements, electrical equip
ment, pianos Bnd organs, rub
ber products and automobile
tires.
Current evidence indicates
that the extreme Of the unem-
pIOyment trough may be reached
In the first few weeks Of 1881.
Both seasonal and cyclical
trends should then take up at
least a moderate amount of the
present slack, and by the end
Of the first half . more nearly
normal condition should have
materiaIiZed. While it is our
belief that some further wage
adjustments will probably be
effected, in order to align the
incomes Of certain classes with
those which were obliged to
take the first brunt Of the
shock, its completion will very
likely be gradual and prOtracted.
Power to Gain
Purchasing power Of labor
will probably be gradually en-
hanced in 1881, not by increases
in dollar wages, but by reduC-
tions in the costs and prices Of
most items comprising the
workers budget. On the whole,
we expect q steady, although
perhaps slow, improvement in
employment during the year."

R B MARKET
PRICES OFF

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The
curb market found its path to-
ward further recovery effectively
blocked in the forepart Of today's
session, and slightly lower price
levels were the rule in the main
body of stocks.
Activity quieted down after a.
rather hectic opening which wit
messed the disposal of some good
sized blocks of stocks. but despite
the valorous efforts Of bullish
leaders to, stir up renewed inter
est on the constructive side, little
Of a following was attracted, with
a resultant easing off Of prices
all along the line.
With a week of almost ur-
broken advance behind it, the
market was expected to run into
some sort Of a technical reaction
before very long, and traders
were disposed to await the ap-
pearance of this sell-off before
taking a position in the market.
With the recent improvement
largely of a psychological charac-
ter, it was readily recognized in,
speculative circles that prices
were yet vulnerable to any un-
expected influences Of an adverse
nature which might make their
appearance at any time, and even
market followers who were decid.
edly bullish were travelling ex-
tremely light on the long slide.
Utilities were generally lower,
although a moderate recovery at
midday carried most Of the issues
in this group above their extreme
lows of the forenoon.

COTTON PRICES
ARE HIGHER

NEW YORK, Jan. 5 G.N.SO.
The New York cotton market was
slightly higher at the outset today
despite disappointing Liverpool
and threatened labor troubles at
Manchester. There was a fairly
active demand which appeared to
come principally from the trade
and shorts. Offers were not large,
although the higher prices at
tracted a little more selling by
New Orleans and the South and
the early gains were not main
tanned.
The situation in the cotton
market remains essentially un-
changed. Leading factors include
substitution in the markets
abroad of foreign growths at
lower prices. Superabundance of
supply domeStically, moderately
heavy stocks in Spinners hands
considering rates of operation,
lack of evidence Of sharp in
crease in consumption at an early
date and the utter inability of
the Farm Board and the CO.
operatives to replace the cushion
ordinarily afforded by the mer-
chant, to say nothing of arti-
ficially controlling the situation.
At midday future contracts
were 4 to 7 points below the
previous close. New Orleans
bought October, Wall Street
bought July and October. Liver
pool and the Continent were good
buyers of March, May and July.
Commission houses bought distant
months. but liquidated January.

East Looks for Good
EQuipment Business

The year 1881 opens in the
Eastern section of the country
with attractive prospects for siz-
able electrical equipment bust
ness and it is generally expected
that the early months of the
year will show a decline trend
upward, Electrical World reports.
Year-end business in the East
was more satisfactory than had
been anticipated, both from cen
tral stations and industrial quar-
ters. Inquiries, also, were in
better volume. Motor account
looks better than for several
months past with the revival of
activity in a group Of basic in
dustries, particularly iron and
steel, chemical, textile and paper.
Government demand will he an
important factor in the coming
weeks and number of heavy
commitments for electrical equip
ment are being scheduled.

FORECAST GOOD
YEARFOR HIGH
GRADE BONDS
Anticipated Pickup in Business
Gives Outlook Of Issues
Increasing Brightness

With the anticipated pickup
in business this year, the outlook
for the bond market grows in
creasingly bright.
Investors, according to bond
market analysts, have become
more discreet and more particu-
lar in regard to the type Of bond
in which they place their funds.
For this reason bond experts
are forecasting an excellent year
for high grade bonds. That is,
bonds of the first mortgage class
of good companies, United States
Government issaes and certain
State and municipal issues.
Paradoxical as it may seem,
however, many students of the
bond market feel that if business
picks up sharply by the middle
of the year, high grade bonds
are apt to fall into the back
ground and the more speculative
type, such as the convertibles,
will come to the fore.
May Turn to COnvertibles
This is only natural a vice
president of one of the leading
financing and distributing COM
panies told me. AS money is with
drawn to help business speed up,
credit becomes dearer. This, of
course, tends to make the public
look for something with a fairly
high return, and they are willing
to take slight risk. For this rea-
son it is his opinion that if there
is general revival of trade
around the middle of the year,
the more speculative bond issues,
particularly the convertible indus
trial bonds, will show substantial
appreciation in price.
At the present time, however,
he thinks high grade Government
bonds, municipals, and first mort
gage issues should reflect the
greatly increased demand which
should result from re-inveStment,
notably by banks. The present
year should see a good pick up in
the bond business, and good COM
munities and States should have
little trouble in financing them
selves.
Feeling Voiced
This feleing Of discrimination
in the bond market is also voiced
by the National City Bank, which
in it's current review says:
with the small individual
investor and the country bank
largely eliminated, the market
for second grade issues has been
extremely limited. On the other
hand, the large city banks have
tended more and more to con-
fine their purchases to issues Of
the very highest grade. This
combination of factors has been
a potent influence in widening
the spread between prime and
second grade securities"
The bank is rather optimistic
concerning the outlook for 1881,
as far as the bond market is con-
cerned.

FOOD INDUSTRY
HAS SFA|R YEAH,
LEADER SAYS.
Sales Drives, Improved Fac
tory Methods Contributed to
1890 Success of Trade

NEW YORK, Jan. 5 ONS0.
The food industry closed 1880
with favorable financial record,
for which the acceleration Of
sales effort and concentration
upon improved manufacturing
processes were in a large degree
responsible, according to c. M.
Chester, jr., president of General
Foods Corporation.
Mr.. Chester, in his survey Of
the food industry for Interns.-
tional News Service points ont
that economies made possible ny
timely mergers have also played
their part in the 1880 records Of
important sections Of the indus
try.
Food Trade Steady
Mr.. Chester said:
Though the earnings exhibit
for the year will not reveal the
same ratio Of increase as der.
ing the more prosperous Pc
riOds, there is every assurance
that however much business
generally may be affected, the
food industry will remain un-
impaired. Our population iS
still increasing, and food must
be consumed. A recent cOmpi-
latiOn indicated that q group Of
10 food producing companies
reported q decline in combined
earnings Of only 4.S per cent
for the first nine months Of
1880, whereas 200 industrials Of
varied types showed . decrease
Of 1873 per cent in combined
net earnings as compared with
the corresponding period Of
1929.
Raw Materials Decline
Mr.. Chester says that at the
close of 1929 the food companies
were obliged to make substantial
write-offs as a result of the rapid
decline in the prices Of raw ma
terialS. This item will amount to
considerable less for 1880. He
says that commodity prices are
at or near bottom in many in
stances
