Commodity Expert
Expects No Wide
Upturn in Prices
H. N. McGILL,

Editor. McGiu Commodity Service, Inc.
Commodity prices, which have
climbed with little interruption for
three years, now holding 86 per cent
above the extreme low, are not fac
ing materially higher levels in 1886.
In fact, only by artificial pressure or
unforeseen abnormal economic devel-
opmentS will prices escape consider
able irregularity and even weakness.
Business men are cognizant of the
terrific force of credit imitation but
the records of the past emphatically
indicate that credit initiation has a
more profound effect upon security
markets than it has upon commodity
prices. American business is organ
lied to operate under mass-production,
rapid-turnover and small-proflt-m
gin principles.
This will be true during the next
era of business activity above the
normal line. Meanwhile such power
ful forces as the law of supply and
demand, survival of the fittest, etc,
will prevent any runaway tendency
on the part of commodity prices to
reach higher levels.

FORECAST FOR 1886
W. ggaman & Brawner Official
Also Sees 10 Per Cent Gain
in General Business.

Thomas c. Montgomery, vice presi-
dent of Waggaman & Brawner, Inc,
and secretary-treasurer of the Bond
Club. of Washington. declared today
that prospects for 1886 business and
markets appear promising. Some Of
the best authorities estimate general
business should show a 10 per cent
increase in 1886 over 1885. One of
the very promising developments in
recent months has been the pickup
in the heavy industries, which up to
this time have been backward.
One Of the very beneficial things is
the increase in construction awards.
In the first Is days of December they
were larger than in any comparable
period since the early Summer of
1881.
1t seems likely that easy money will
continue for some time. Consequently,
it is expected that 1886 will see more
new capital issues in the way of both
bonds and stocks, he said
He expressed especial interest in
the outlook for bank stocks in 1896.

STAGE PASSED AS ACTIVITY SPREADS TO CAPITAL GOODS
HEAVY INDUSTRIES
BEGIN TO REVIVE
Year Ends With Promising
Improvement in Lines
Hitherto Dormant.
BY Cambridge Associates.

BY Cambridge Associates.
The most favored industries for
1886, meaning those which will show
the greatest progress over business
levels of 1885, are residential build
ing, machinery, electrical equipment,
light and alloy steels, Office equipment
and retail trade.
This statement is based on the ex-
pected continuance of the logical flow
of events in our recovery, and prac-
tically all of these industries wit
messed the beginning Of their improve
ment in the latter part of 1885.
No important industry is expected
to show a decline in earnings. Ac-
companying the improvement in these
lines will be decided pickup in car
loadings and more demand for cop
per, zinc, iron, lead and other ma
terials of industry. We have not yet
arrived at the point. however, where
the true heavy goods" producers will
join the general recovery more than
moderately.
Recovery taxes Sndpts
Industrial recovery in the United
States is taking shape and definition
to such an extent that it is now easy
to summarize the progress made and
make a reasonable forecast of what Is
to come. We have passed through
the first stage of the recovery. in
which the consumers goods industries
have made up practically all the losses
in volume suffered during the depres-
sion. Thus, with the exception Of
cotton textiles, meat and coal, which
were subject to special influences
greater than the forces Of recovery
consumers goods are moving over
counters in greater volume than ever
before. Petroleum consumption has
automatically solved the overproduc-
ton program by reaching record levels.
More cigarettes we're smoked in 1885
than in any previous year. More
people went to the movies. Wool con-
sumption rose above that of 1929 by
a substantial margin. And, despite the
fact Of an automobile year approach
ing depression levels, the American
public bought shoes and shoes and
more shoes.
Second Stage Under Way.
All this only leads the way to the
second stage. The impression that
the first two years of recovery made
on unemployment levels, carloadings
and other key indicators of prosperity
was so slight as to be almost negligible.
But in those two years came restora-
ton of confidence and a roofing of
hope that sent forth new flower IN
1885; prosperity for the intermediate
industries.
Industrialists realized, in the last
year, that an aggressive policy Of cost
cutting was necessary in order to bring
prices down to attractive levels and pro-
mote buying.

planning increased output in January,
following some slackening during the

with the expected Midwinter recession
