Census Bureau Survey Re-

Wholesale Trade.

Although the last four months of
1888 showed more than average sea-
sonal employment in wholesale trades
in Washington, figures for the entire
year do not compare favorably with
1929, the last pre-depression year,
according to the Census of American
Business, made public for the District
of Columbia today by william L.
Austin. director of the Census Bureau.
The figures, tabulated by the Census
Bureau with funds supplied by the
Civil Works Administration, covered
482 establishments employing 6,088
persons and with total pay rolls of
$8,704,150. Net sales for the 484
establishments totaled SAC, 1859 900.
Improvement in Capital
Comparable figures for 1929 we're
taken from first national census of
distribution and although the two
tabulations did not cover identical
subjects both of them did have most
subjects in common.
Evidence of improvement in whole
sale trade employment during 1888 is
reflected by preliminary figures for
the District of Columbia" Austin de-
clared. BASED on the average number
of full-time employees engaged in the
wholesale trade in the District, De-
cember 1893 showed an Improvement
over the beginning of the year of II
per cent. while November registered
an improvement Of II per cent over
March.
Increase More Than Seasonal.
when both full-time and part-time
are considered, it becomes
clear that the improvement during
the year 1888 was substantial and
more than seasonal" the director
continued. According to the 1929
census of distribution, the seasonal
variation in such employment for the
District is about per cent. If it is
assumed that 1929 was fairly typical
in this respect, it would appear that
the last few months of 1888 showed
more than seasonal betterment."
Austin, however. pointed out the
wholesale trade of the District is
rather small and while the improve
ment by months in 1888 was good.
comparison of figures for the two
years shows a dropping off of employ
ment, pay rolls and net sales.

Sustained business recovery IS dependent upon the restoration or private long-term financing and the Withdrawal of the government from this field" says the First Na- tional bank of Boston in it's New England letter dated February 2S.
 "Our present economic system has been built upon the accumu- lated savings of millions of invest ors. This source of capital, direct ed by private initiative, has pro- yided the masses of people with the highest standards of living that the world has ever known. The war and it's aftermath have caused a temporary breakdown but there is abundant evidence that a world wide natural recovery has been under way since the latter part of 1932. Huge federal spending, while necessary for emergency purposes, can merely provide temporary re- lief. It cannot become a sustain. ing influence for business expan- sion. We have reached the stage where 1t is essential for the pres ervation of national, credit that long term investment for corporate enterprise be provided by private sources.
 ITO have q real recovery in bus mess there must be a revival Of the so-called capital goods indus tries which in good times employ about 35 per cent of all workers engaged in production but which now account for about one-half Of our total ployment. While in- dustries producing consumers goods are now operating not far from normal capacity, the so-caYed heavy industries have shown but little Improvement. These indus- tries include construction, machin- cry, equipment and similar trades.
 Following four years of depres- sion there are immense replace ments to be made on account of depreciation and obsolescence. It is estimated that there is an accumu- lated deficit in building alone of around 4,000,000,0 900. About one- half of the machines in the coun- try are more than twelve years old and a large percentage of them are uneconomical and should be re- placed by new types. It is report ed in the railroad industry, which has a capital investment of $25,- 000, ,000, 900, that every part from a locomotive to the last spike must be renewed every twenty-eight years. More than 30 per cent of the automobiles now in use are junkable. It can be conservatively stated that replacements required In various industries of the coun- try could provide basis fer ex- pansion of business up to normal capacity for a long period. To bring this about 1t is necessary to allow industry to make profits and to remove the barriers that are blocking the flow of private funds into leng-term corporate invest ments. The drastic decline in these funds Is shown by, the fact that during 1883 the amount of new corporate securities issued was less than $200, 100000 as against an annual average of more than $3,- 900, 100000 for the period 1924 to 1928.
 "What Is needed is the restora. ton of confidence in capital mar kets which has been affected by monetary uncertainty and by the severe restrictions imposed upon the issuance of new securities. While the mobilization of the doi-

lar at 59.06 cents has temporarily mitigated the fear over the money standard, the agitation for the re- monetizatfon of silver, the danger of an international race of cur rency depreciation and rapidly mounting federal debt have com bined to cast 8 cloud over long term investments. Although com mendable in it's fundamental pur- pose of protecting investors against abuses, some of the provisions of the new security act are so drastic that directors of corporations and investment houses are unwilling to assume the risk of underwriting new securities, while the further restrictions imposed by the new stock exchange bill will, unless modified, most severely check the flow of private funds into industry.
 "In order, then, that the govern ment may gradually retreat from the financing field and that this be again assumed by private enter prise 1t is essential that unneces- sary Instructions be removed and that regulatory legislation be lim- ited to providing adequate protec- tion for investors"

Don't Quote Me

Washingtno, March 1.--(UP)- The treasury department an- nounces modestly that during the fiscal year ending last June 30, 1t captured and killed 6,038 rats.
 These rats were herded by the treasury department from incom- ing ships. The rat chasers exam ined 3,589 of the 6,088 rats to see whether they were in good health.
 The department did not announce how 1t arrived at such an exact rat total. Extended research on the part of Don't Quote Me" also failed to reveal how the counters counted rats down to the last whis- ker.

 The department. however, did not depend on health certificates for human beings arriving from Flu. rope. Each one of b,sS7 incom- ing passengers was fumigated by the treasury department during the fiscal year. It must have been a real task too, what with ladies in- sisting that they didn't need to he fumigated.

But the foreign importer finds that his own domestic currency will buy some 40 per cent more American goods than it would a year ago. So he buys heavily.
 First effect is to reduce our ag- ricultural surpluses and stimulate those American industries engag- ed in export trade.
 Other price raising forces are at work the NRA, the AAA, REC, CWA, and other govern ment spending and lending agen- cies. The official theory is that a gradual price rise is inevitable in the months ahead, amounting to some 40 per cent.
 That theory is tied to the com modity price index, now above 73 as against the aim of 100. the 1926 figure, and as against 59.6
