Low MONEY RATES
HELD DBUS|NESS AID
U. S. Industry Should Be
Stimulated by Easy Credit,
Observers Declare.

BY the Associated Press.
Competent Government observers see
in the present easy rates in the money
market an opportunity seldom presented
to the business world.
The prevailing low rates, these OBJ
servers point out make possible the
long-term financing of operations es-
sential to business and in construction,
Offering as it does pairing OF interest
charges to an unparalleled minimum,
thus enhancing the opportunity OF
greater profits more readily. Business
men. the Government insists, should
have a greater incentive for proceeding
with larger programs because OF these
lower costs.
That big business is not taking ad-
vantage of the present situation is
charged by the Government to a pain
full lack of confidence. MerchandiSerS
are not producig due to the fear that
they will not be able to sell their goods,
thus accumulating huge inventories, as
witnessed in 1929. Capital is holding
back ultra -conservatively, being content
with a certain safety of principal in
uncertain times, rather than a higher
rate under present conditions. Proof OF
this is seen in present levels of Gov
ernment securities and those of high
class bonds about which there is no
AuCOCAOAA Vi pelS Va AAAOSAOSO NAAnA 6SS'
There are at least two other main IA
vorable factors to the present money
level One is the tendency to stop the
abnormal and unhealthy flow of gold
to the United States, a sum now twice
the amount held b:fore the World War
and which has increased more than
Sl25.000000 for 1881 to date. If inter-
est rates in this country are lower than
for other nations, this fact will discour-
age the gold movem. mt here from other
financial centers of the world.
Another effect of low rates means the
maintenance of low tax rates due to the
ability of the Government to carry on
financing operations at minimum costs.
1t will be enabled to refund bonds carry
ing higher rate of return on an cas-
ier basis. and float its short-term loans
at nominal rates. All of this means
less money will be needed by the Treas
ury to meet interest payments on its
outstanding indebtedness.

That this repressive movement
against large scale distributive organi-
cations should permanently succeed
seems highly improbable. Because of
the lower costs to consumers the chain
store serves an economic end which
cannot be dispensed with except at a
loss. But meanwhile spectators and
traders stand aside.
Some success was attained by the
National Cotton week movement. The
woolen trade is better also. To quote
from a trade report of today's date:
The list of mills sold up for July
and August production not only in

Conservative Attitude.
The same authority goes on to say
that while some believe that the mill
activity will continue well into the Fall
others are Of the opinion that "produc-
ton will stop suddenly early in Sep
tember and that a lapse of several
months will follow. 1t will be remem-
bered that November and December of
last year were the quietest months that
the industry has experienced since
1921"
This brings out another point. name
ly, the conservative attitude Of pro-
ducers. not alone in woolens, but in all
kinds Of merchandise. 1t is the same
as that of the retailer who keeps up his
hand-to-mouth buying policy, but il
makes the case that much stronger
Everybody is going slow and no one is
overconfldent. Nevertheless, it looks as
though real turn were in sight.
