BASIC TRADE GAINS
IMPROVE PROSPECT
Recent Developments Are
Analysed as Signs of Change
in Down Trend.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, June 18-Statistics
show that withing the last few weeks
basic as well as temporary improve
ments in business have taken place.
but these developments have been OBJ
secured when viewed in relation to busi-
ness as a whole.
The excise taxes which 60 into eff
feet on June 81 have brought about
gains in both wholesale and retail pur-
chases Of the articles affected. The
upturn has been noticed especially in
the wholesale buying of such lines as
rubber tires. furs. sporting goods and
toilet articles Part of the retail trads
gains of the last fortnight were directly
attributed to purchases in anticipation
OF the excise taxes.
These temporary developments. how
ever. have tended to overshadow more
fundamental happenings. An instance
is the rise in silver metal prices. With
the white METAL still the basis of pur-
chasing power Of nearly half of the
worlds population, any improvement in
1t is worthy of attention. Last month
silver staged a rise of .19 per cent,
while in the first five months it showed
a net loss Of only .48 per cent. In
May. 1881. it was up .19 per cent, but
in May, 1880. it was down 2.29 per cent.
The betterment in silver recently is
more basic than reports of monetary
conferences. It is due to a decreased
supply, because of increased commercial
and coinage use, as well as declining
output Of mixed ores. and an increa sed
demand for monetary usage in India
and other places where gold has been
sold and the proceeds used to buy
silver.
Commercial failures are also a part
of the general portrait of business.
These were down 1882 per cent in May
and down $40 per cent for the first
five months of this year. In May. 1881,
commercial failures increased .37 per
cent and in May, 1880, they were up
1.68 per cent.
Fewer bank failures are another
highly encouraging factor in the slowly
changing business landscape.
Borrowings of members of the Fed
eral Reserve System show a highly en-
couraging tendency. They were down
12.4 per cent in May and off IL go per
cent in the first five months. as con-
trasted with rise of 424 per cent in
May. 1881. and drop of 3.57 per cent
in May, 1880.

GAIN IN EMPLOYMENT
NEXT YEAR is SEEN
Statistics Company Predicts Con-
tinuance of Downtrend Dur.
ing the Summer Months.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, June 1S.-Generalizing
upon the basis of current statistical
trends and the undercurrent of political
and economic thought, the Standard
Statistics Co. of New York currently
draws the following conclusions re-
garding the prospect for employment
and wages
Employment will resume its down
ward trend during the Summer months
in reflection of seasonal slackening in
industrial volumes. Predicated upon
possibilities of gradual and irregular
recovery in the final months of the year,
however, employment should stabilize
near present levels, but reabsorption of
those now out of work will be slow, and
real progress cannot be expected before
the Spring Of 1888.
The trend of wages is still downward
and will continue so. especially in those
industries most recently affected by de-
preston. Wage rates will Stiffen at the
first signs of improvement, but will lag
behind prices in the upswing in general
values.
THE cost of living has fallen more
sharply than wage rates. Further down.
ward readjustment is in prospect, both
through closer alignment of finished
goods with raw material prices and
through lower IeIlIS lie ldIIcT Will
come as result of belated revision of
real estate values and through develop
ment of low-cost housing.
Farm purchasing power in 1882 will
fall we'll below pre-war levels. due to
low prices for agricultural products and
smaller crops. Government aid will as
sist loan renewals and marketing of
products at home end abroad, but will
not prevent distress conditions in many
sections"

Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. June 18-Although
from the point Of price appreciation the
bond markets performance during the
week was not particularly notable, two
important divisions of the market had
substantial advances. The first of
these involved the market for United
States Government long-term bonds.
In the active issues Of Treasures and
Liberties the week saw an average ad
vance of over 2 points, all of which was
maintained in brisk trading. The best
gains were in the low coupon issues
such as Treasury IS and 3lss, while
there was more conservative improve
ment in the Liberty issues, two Of which
are callable this year and one next
year This buying revealed a return Of
confidence in the outlook for long-term
Government bonds.
That the movement in Governments
did not extend further was due to the
inability of the market as yet to see
lust what financing may be necessary
before the Treasury can look after its
immediate needs and turn its attention
to the matter of refunding at least a
portion of the Liberty Loans.
The other division of the market to
improve in significant manner was
the list Of German dollar bonds Ger
man government 5i2s and Is, which
are prior to all other German obliga-
tions, advanced to levels about 13 points
above. their 1882 lows. While German
corporation and municipal bonds shared
in this advance to satisfactory ex-
tent, 1t was evident that considerable
premium was attached to the priority
of the Young and Dawes plan loans.
AS a matter of fact, a considerable
amount of the buying of the 512s and
Is was attributed to Scandinavian in
vestors switching from other German
bonds, such as the obligations of the
German agricultural banks and Ger
man industrials, into the government
dollar issues.
This development, together with the
surprisingly good reception of the
opening developments at Lausanne,
served to create a brisk inquiry for
many European bonds.

foreign copper by the tariff wall.
AS a result of that change it is ex-

One for domestic copper will exist in

the United States. It is assumed that
each market will have its own price

NEW YORK, June 18.-Decreased
orders for most steel products in the
past week, attributed largely to un-
certainties in the political situation,
were reflected by further declines in
ingot production. A trade authority
estimated the present rate at 18 per
cent of capacity. Hopefulness for i'm
provement, despite usual seasonal de-
clines at this time, is said to be based
on belief that present purchases are
below ordinary requirements. With the
exception of one manufacturer, buying
from the the automobile industry was
restricted and structural awards were
still principally for public projects.
Prices remained unchanged. Buying OF
pig iron was restricted at unchanged
prices.
