INDUSTRY
ON RECOVERY ROAD
U. S. Public Works Program
Likely to Make Biggest
1885 Contribution.
BY THOMAS S. HOLDEN,

Vice President. p w. Dodge Corp
The construction industry is on the
road to recovery, without being as
Sured as to how much recovery it Will
get in 1895. AS in the year lust
closed a Federal public works pro-
gram is apt to make the largest con-
tribution to increased volume of &C
tivity. This new Federal program is
yet TO be announced to the pubic and
submitted to Congress.
AS to private construction, which
increased only slightly in 1894, there
is reason to expect increased activity
in modernization and rehabilitation
projects OF all kinds. The Nation
wide compaign of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration for developing
small repair and modernization
projects Is likely to be supplemented
by large plant extension and plant
rehabilitation projects for industrial
corporations. Gradual increase of
small house building is possible,
since considerable potential demand
for this class of work has been DEM
onstrated and the possibilities for
financing such projects has been
slowly improving.
Federal housing, promised as part
of the public works program. is an
indefinite factor in the situation.
Limited-dividend housing projects,
financed privately under the F. H. "A.
insured mortgage plan, may become a
reality; a number of such projects,
totaling more than SIPS 100000, are
before Administrator Moffett for con-
Sideration at this time.

taken after the Washington Clearing
House Association had reviewed the
situation very carefully. Paying any
interest on savings accounts has also
faded out of the banking picture.
The year 1884 saw Clarence F.
Burton elected president of the Wash
ington Mechanics Savings Bank
Mount Vernon Savings Bank and the
Franklin National Bank, taking the
name of the City Bank of Washing
ton. DR.. Burton became head of the
merged banks while several officers in
the other units joined the official staff
of the new institution. Uniting of
these banks. with the resumption of
100 per cent operations, brought the
city's financial map much nearer to
normalcy. Later in the year the In
dustrial Bank, the only colored bank
in the city, reopened its doors. One
branch was opened in 1884, the Office
of the Bank of Commerce & Savings
at North Capitol and H streets.
One other new bank president was
elected during the year, H. Prescott
Galley being chosen to head the Ma
tional Savings & Trust Co. when Will

HUGE 1885 GAIN
|SSEEN FOR STEEL
Industry Is Given Flying
Start by Advances
Late in 1884.
BY b. E. v. LUTY,

Associate Editor, American Metal Market.
Steel enters the new year with a
well-defined swing, and that is not
usually the case. In times of ordinary
activity demand for steel has slipped
in the last two months of year, on
an average, while seasonal improve
ment, beginning just after the turn
of the year, was always marked, and
favorable predictions for new year
rested upon precedent.
AS 1884 was drawing to close de-
mand for steel increased, quite contra
seasonally. September was the low
month of the year in steel production,
although only slightly under August,
and each of the last three months Of
the year registered gain Of about 10
per cent over predecessor in average
rate of output per working day.
Given Flying Start.
Thus the steel industry was given a
flying start for the new year instead
of having a backset to make up for
first. The reasons were, first, i'm
provement in general underlying busi-
ness conditions, and, second, absence
of stocks in buyers hands to be liqui
dated against December 81 inventories.
Seasonal improvement in the first
three or four months of the new year
may be taken for granted.
The usual manner of referring to
steel activity by citing production in
percentage Of capacity is apt to be
misleading. The capacity on which
the percentage figures are based is 81
per cent more than average production
in the seven years 1923-29, inclusive,
constituting a remarkable period of
activity. interrupted only slightly by
two of less than six months duration
each. Even production in the record
year, 1929, was only 20 per cent above
that average.
Steel Ingot Output Up.
Production of steel ingots in 1894
was slightly more than 25,000,000 gross
tons, or 10 per cent over 1888 and 90
per cent over 1882, the worst year
1t was SO to 81 per cent of capacity"
but was IS per cent of the seven-year
average.
AS matters now stand, production
in. 1885 promises to be 20 to 35 per
cent above that in 1884. With rail-
road and building activity this FORE
cast could be exceeded readily.

lid is withdrawn, but that considera-
ion was not a market factor in 1884.

aid is withdrawn, but that considera-
ton was not market factor in 1884.
The story would not be complete
without some reference to the effect
on market values Of the unprecedented
accumulation Of money. The 1884 in
vestment market was always strong.
High-grade bonds sold on an approx
mately record low-yield basis. Despite
the increase of the national debt to
a total never before equaled, the Gov
ernment was able to finance its re-
quirements at progressively lower costs.
For the best corporate bonds, mar
ket prices approached the level fixed
by prevailing interest rates, with lit
tie or no allowance for business risk.
The demand for investment bonds
was greatly stimulated by the lack of
new offerings, partly the result of the
working of the securities act and
partly the result of already over
expanded production facilities.
Eventually this investment demand
spread to preferred stocks, and here,
too, the best issues sold at record
prices. The record of recovery from
other depressions suggests that sooner
or later this search for a means of
employment for idle funds will extend
to common stocks and forms the best
basis for optimism for the future of
the market.
Effects of Federal Control.
There remains to be considered the
effect Of Government control of trad
ing-an entirely new factor, one which
never before entered into stock market
calculations. This control did not be-
come fully effective until the last
quarter Of the year, and enough time
has not elapsed to speak positively
about its working. The only reason
ably safe conclusion is that under
control the volume of business Is less
than 1t would have been under the
old order. other things being equal.
Quite possibly stock market trad
ing would have been on a greatly re-
duced scale this year without the law,
but it certainly would not have been
as low as 1t was. On the present scale
brokerage houses cannot make ends
meet. The trading machinery is
equipped to carry, at the very least,
twice the load now put upon it. Dras-
tic economies have been put into ef-
feet, but they are not enough, and
the first of the year is bringing a
series Of consultations, with the
elimination of many long established
firms.
Wall Street is gratified at the evi-
dent disposition of the Securities and
Exchange Commission to administer
the law as reasonably as possible. but
1t Is not reconcied to the situation.
Its only hope is that the New Deal
will not last forever.

NEW YORK, December 31.-The
steel rolling capacity of the United
States was increased by 100000 tons
during 1884, and installations under
way for completion in 1885 will add
an additional 100000 tons to the

With the foundation laid, Robert C.
Jones, head of the investment bank

to 1885 as the year which will witness
the return of confidence in business
and high-grade investments, inaugu-
rating a long period of business recov-

The credit situation Is distinctly
better. Money rates are low and Gov
ernment bonds are higher. Bank de-
posits throughout the entire country
are more than 20 per cent higher than
year ago and demand deposits of the
New York banks are over six billion
dollars.
The excess reserves of the Federal
Reserve member banks are in excess of

Under the Craftsmanship of H. H.
Mckee, president Of the National Cap
ital Bank, the Washington Clearing
House Association has efficiently
handled many perplexing problems.
The associations most vital move re-
lated to the standard measured service
charges. The new schedule of fees
adopted by the banks was drawn up
by the clearing house
The new O'Clock closing schedule,
which goes into effect in all the banks
on January 2, was also drawn up by
the Clearing House Association and
recommended to the banks for adop-
ton. This action brought to a
climax a matter which had been
under discussion for several years
and is of concern to every bank de-
positor in the city and vital to all
bank employees.
Trade Picture Bright.
Bank clearings as shown in the
associations monthly report have re-
flected steady business progress during
the year. In the first IL months of
1884 Cancelled checks totaled $685.
$50, 0,725, against 1851, 1,177,51l in the
like 1888 period. This gain of $107,-
1924 paints a vivid picture of the
way business has gone ahead.
Retail trade in Washington wound
up the year in a blaze of glory. In
November sales in eight leading de-
partment stores were Is per cent ahead
of the same month year ago. In
many stores managers have reported
December trade as the best in the
past five years, or since the depression
swept down upon the just and unjust.
For the first IL months of 1884 trade
in the Capital was 20.4 per cent better
than last year. With the remarkable
December records added, it will be
well above that figure for the full IL
months, when totals are available.
From a mercantile standpoint, it will
be a hard year to beat
During 1884 operating earnings of
the utility companies in Washington
have scored sharp improvement. Postal
receipts mounted, trade indices have
climbed, bank deposits have increased
as as the amount of funds turned
over in bank checks, the number of
telephones in use has steadily in
creased, together with pickup in
the total number of calls. The de-
mand for electric power has shown
the same trend.
What about 1885? Many bankers
and business leaders believe these
barometric uptrends will continue.
Financiers in the Capital and else
where declare that when the present
vast amount of idle money begins to
flow into credit channels, recovery will
make surprisingly rapid strides.
Washington's huge Government
pay roll makes this city one of the
most fortunate in the country. 1t
will enjoy more than its share of
prosperity as conditions grow better.
