ing the "free silver" issue was in
1S95-96, will realize what this
may mean.
Then, too, the whole social re-
form program remains q threat
to profits and the profit system.
"Collectivism" and social con-
troll Of business are an important
part of the Administrators pro-
gram.
Benefit Doubtful
IF these things work they would
certainly not help the stock mar
ket. If they cannot work, we are
trying vain things and the process
of correcting mistakes would cause
confusion for time.
Another consideration Is that
there may be some temporary
reaction from the year-end squirt
in industrial activity. For
example, steel buying has been
heavy in anticipation Of the
January price advance.
But despite these uncertainties,
the fact remains that the Govern
ment'S drive to stimulate business
by public works and distributing
checks among farmers and CWA
members is now nearing it's peak
The automobile manufacturers are
counting on some of these funds
going into motor car purchases,
and are getting under way for the
new year. Other industries will
be stimulated"
Many Express Satisfaction
All the advance opinion is to
the effect that the Administration
will have control over Congress
and that the President continues
to retain the confidence of a ma.
jority of the people. Just at
present various business leaders
are expressing themselves as sat
iSfied with their codes.
So we ought to have q period

the average man.
AS to the action Of individual
stocks, I note that Steel seems tc
stick at 48, and the possibility Of
a double top there should be
watched. "Can" sticks just under
100, and its action on the chart
suggests doubt that it will hold
above that level. Telephone was

at a guess l would say 1t may

OF course, if these indications
are decisively exceeded, the actor
would be bullisll.

GAINS MARKED
IN D, {, AREA

All business signs in the Fifth
Federal Reserve district pointed
upward in December and the last
six months of 1888, the Rich
mond Reserve Bank reports.
Fall trade is reported the best
in several years.
Improvement was most marked
in the Caro]inas which had suf-
fered more than Maryland, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia in the
early days of the depression.
Higher cotton and tobacco
prices so changed the picture
that by the end of the year
business was better in the Caro-
linaS than in the upper tier Of
States"
Consumer purchasing was in
creased as indicated by improved
retail and wholesale trade, col
lectionS were better, commercial
failures were fewer, there was a
marked rise in sales of both new
and used automobiles, and higher
prices for satisfactory agricul-
tural yields.

3-YEAR Low SET
FOR FAILURES

Dun's insolvency index for the
year 1888 was down to 1895,
against 1888 and 1894, respec-
lively, in the two preceding years.
This computation measures the
number of business failures for
each year in proportion to the
number of business concerns in
the United States.
For the preceding IL years
there were six years in which the
insolvency index was higher than
that for 1888 and six in which it
was lower.
This record covers nearly 10
years. The highest for any year
was in 1878, when the index was
1850, only slightly higher than
that for 1882.
Other high points were 1876, the
three years Immediately preceding
1878, 1896 and two or three years
about the time when money ques-
tions caused much disturbance m
1915 and 1922.
The Washington times., 1934-01-04

sues traded showed gains, and
the volume of trading was up,
though moderate.
The bond market, too, con-
tinued the recent rise.
The weekly indexes Of busi-
ness activity pointed up.
We may add that the most
active stocks were mostly higher,
and that these constituted a
somewhat larger proportion OF the
total trading than has been the
case in recent weeks.
Yet, despite such bulliSh in
dicatiOns, / do not get the inn
pressiOns that any long Sus-
tanned rise is beginning here.
1t seems more likely that the
market will work only q little
higher on this move, before dip
ping, and then backing and fill
ing until some Of the existing
uncertainties are removed.
For one thing, the market has
thus far shown no tendancy to gel
up momentum. The Thursday
one-day push-up saw the 1olume
of trading decline and had no
carry through.
Little Improvement Shown
I am inclined to doubt that the
technical position was much i'm
proved by the December reaction,
and the volume of brokers' loans
has increased at a rate out of pro-
portion to the recent little rise.
But more fundamental is the
condition of uncertainty, which
should make for relatively mar
row swings rather than Sus-
tanned moves. Congress is about
to begin operations. Already
the Senators of the "Silver
States" are on the war path for
changes in our money and those

CLOTH SESSION ACTIVE

NEW YORK, Jan. I. UN.S.).-The
coarse yarn cloths market enjoyed an
other fairly active session today as
prices of several numbers advanced,
with sales of good quantities at the
higher levels.
Prospective buyers were making bids
for substantial yardages Of print cloths
at prices slightly under the market, but
instead of easing, the general price
structure underwent a further strangth-
ening.
Buyers and sellers alike appear con-
vinced that tie first quarter will bring
sufficient activity to prevent any serious
setbacks in the advancing trend which
is accepted as inevitable.
