LOWER PRICES ON CLOTH

NEW YORK, Nov. IA U.N.SO
Lower prices on several print
cloths styles failed to stimulate
any volume business in the coarse
yarn cloths market today. Some
activity was noted in pajama
checks, while a few broadcloths
sold at slightly lower levels.
Sheetings were fairly. active with
prices steady. Drills moved slowly
on weaker prices, and twjlls were
not active. Osnaburgs held fairly
firm on better buying from the

payments to veterans. With an estimated
budget deficit of $500, 900 900 already
before them, and with large maturing
obligations to meet in the near future,
the officials Of the Treasury Depart
ment have all they can handle as
matters stand.
THE additional Notation of an
enormous bond issue to meet bonus
payments would impose a staggering
burden on the Treasury. It would,
moreover, have q disastrous effect on
the slowly reviving security markets
and retard business recovery. Any
stimulation to trade that might result
from its inflationary effects would be
purely temporary. It would mark a
striking failure of democracy If an
organized minority, through political
power alone, could work .uch injustice
upon the general public-and, If they
but had the wisdom to see it, upon
themselves as we'll; for, in the long run,
they can be prosperous only in so far
as the country as a whole prospers.
THE compromise measure providing
for loans up to so per cent of the face
amount of the bonus certificates has
been passed by the House of Represent
atives and approved by the Finance
Committee Of the Senate. 1t is esti-
mated that this bill. If it becomes law,
will necessitate additional security flo-
tations by the Treasury of at least
S75000o. 900 and possibly as much as
81 500. 900, 900, the exact amount de-
pending on how many veterans avail
themselves of the opportunity to Dor
row.
Outcome Depends on President.
"At present the general opinion
seems to be that the fate of the bin
will depend on the action taken by
President Hoover. While the Senate is
believed to be favorably disposed toward
the measure, the attitude of the ad-
ministration is uncertain. The Presi-
dent is known to be opposed to cash
bonus payments of any kind at pres
ent, but the danger of a forced extra
session of Congress and the possibility
that veto of the bill might invite even
more extravagant bonus legislation in
the next Congress may in the opinion
of some observers, induce him to sign
the measure In case 1t is passed by the
Senate"

LAST PHASE OF DEPRESSION
PERIOD SEEN IN BANK SURVEY
Guaranty Trust Co. Finds Processes of Re-
ad justment Are Laying Foundation
for Advance In Trade.

ments in both agriculture and indus
try must all be reckoned with as de-
terrent factors, but seem to mark the
last phase of the depression period.
The movement of commodity prices
has been rather disappointing. Al
though advances have occurred in some
important commodities, notably cotton
and copper, the general trend of values
continues gradually downward. The
wholesale price index of the Guaranty
Trust Co. for February Is stands at
$40, as against 53.4 month ago. Such
basic commodities as wheat, corn, cat
tie. hogs, rubber, lead and silk have
declined since the middle of January.
The general level Of farm prices on
January Is was the lowest in exactly
10 years.
The money situation continues to
be characterized by extreme ease in all
classes of short-term credit at the
principal centers. In many rural dis
tricts a very different condition exists,
and bank failures are still reported in
large numbers, although the state of
affairs is apparently less acute than 1t
was in the closing month Of 1880.
Near-Term Business.
ION the whole, present conditions
seem TO justify the eXpectaLlcn OF a
few months of business activity at, or
about, present levels with allowance,
of course, for the expansion that is
usually seen in the Spring., followed
by gradual upward trend. While
some slight further recessions may be
witnessed in the meantime, there is
ground for the belief that the decline
has nearly run its course and that the
present rate Of operations represents
approximately the low point Of the
current cycle.
Although industrial employment
continued to decrease last month, the
movement is regarded as seasonal, and
the general situation is characterized
as better than it was month earlier.
Possible Political Obstacles.
ANY optimistic view Of the outlook
for business necessarily rests on the
assumption that events will be per-
mitted to take their natural course
unhampered by ill-advised legislation.
Unfortunately, there Is no assurance
that this will be the case. To those
who are familiar with the intricacies
of financial affairs it is literally incom-
prehensible that an American Congress
at this moment should seriously con-
slider assuming huge cash obligation for

Special Dispatch to The Star.

| Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, February 24.-Develop-
ments Of recent weeks have not entire
ly borne out the optimistic hopes that
were aroused by the industrial revival
of early January, states the Guaranty
Trust Co. of New York in the Guar
anty Survey, its monthly review Of bust
ness and financial conditions in the
United States and abroad, published
today.
IN the light of the more accurate
data now available, the expansion OF
output and the gains in employment in
the first weeks of the year seem to have
BEEN almost wholly seasonal in charac-
ter" the Survey continues. THE pre-
liminary index of business activity OF
the Guaranty Trust Co. stands at 639
for January, as against GAL for De-
cember, remaining practically unchang-
ed for the third successive month. Since
the beginning Of February, there has
been a good deal of irregularity, with
further seasonal advances in some di-
rections and apparent setbacks In
others. The most that can be def
nitely stated at present, therefore, is
that the decline in business activity
has been checked, for the tree being
at least. At the moment no clear
trend is visible. The rate of industrial
operations, aside from seasonal move
ments, appears to be virtually station
airy at about the lowest level reached
thus far during the current depres-
sion.
Further Readjustment Probable.
THE indications seem to be that
the immediate future will witness a
continuance of the processes Of read
justment laying the foundation for def
mite advance later.
Disturbed conditions abroad, I'M

commodity prices, slow liquidation of
