Uncertainty Over LegisIa-

BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, December 31.-A cross
section of industrial and financial
opinion at year-end disclosed today
an optimistic attitude toward the new
year coupled with some cautiousness
engendered by political and legislative
uncertainties.

1885 is merely the curtain raiser on

An important human element
which pessimists fail to take into con-

FARM INCOME Up
THREE BILLIONS IN
PERIOD SINCE 1882
Larger Crops Rather Than
Higher Prices Expected
to Widen Rise.
BY S. L. SHOLLEY,
Cambridge Associates Writer.

With the beginning of 1886, the farm
population Is looking forward toward
another year of progress out of the
depression. And the farmers depres-
sion does not, as with industry, date
from 1929, but from 1920, when it first
became evident that the tremendous
expansion Of farm plant which was
made necessary by the World War was
to create knotty problem for the
country as a whole to solve In the
last three years :arm income has risen
from IS, 5,000, 900, 900 to more than So
900, 900, 900; in 1885 came the first
indication that the point had been
reached where replacement of worm
out machinery and equipment had be-
come financial possibility.
Progress can be expected along
three lines in the coming year, regard
less of the constitutionality of the
present measures dealing with the
problem. These are:
ID Progress in making agreements

and industrial population alike.
(2) Progress in lifting the profit
margin toward the point where the
rewards Of agriculture approach those
of industry, probably through larger
crops rather than higher prices.
90 Progress toward the elimina-
ton Of marginal land" together with
reclamation of that land for the use to
which it is best suited. If one step
forward can be made on each of these
three fronts, 1886 will be well worth
reviewing as one of the important
years Of the recovery.
The recent pact with Canada, as the
administration pointed out, did not
benefit the farmer materially in a
direct way. As a matter of fact. the
apparent purpose of the treaty was
to reopen the Canadian market for
various industrial products, with tariff
reductions on agricultural commodi-
ties as the main incentive However,
considerable care was exercised In the
selection Of these commodities so as
not to interfere with markets of do

ITO assure a continuation Of this

and courage.
I'VE must not allow personal or

I'VE must economize; we must

GRADUAL ADVANCE.
FOR COMMODITIES.
EXPECTED IN 1886.
Runaway Prices Unlikely
With Initiation Bogey
About Dissolved.
BY Cambridge Associates.

Among the perplexities which 1885
inherited was the deep uncertainty
regarding monetary imitation. That
threat has been pretty well dissolved
during the last II months. The COM
modify index now is only about 2
points above the January level and
nearly a point off the years highs.
For the coming year, the outlook
now is for somewhat similar rise,
similar in hesitancy and only little
greater in extent, probably in the
neighborhood of per cent above
present averages. =.
That does not mean the imitation
bogey has been finally and irrevocably
laid low. The ghost will still flutter
on the horizon. first in the form of a
"greenback" provision to be included
with bonus bill, and secondly in
the form Of the Townsend plan which
numerous legislators are likely to en-
dorse so long as there is no posi-
bility of the enactment of such a
measure. Right now, however, it
seems probable that the Townsend
plan is doomed to a lingering death
some distance from the actual poll
tical arena and that even if bonus
bill is passed over the almost certain
presidential veto, it will not be paid
in greenbacks.
Difference Is Stressed.
All this, of course, does not mean
that We are not having, will not have,
imitation ana in consequence high
prices. This difference, however, be-
tween monetary or currency imitation
and the governmental deficit type Of
credit imitation now in progress seems
fundamental
Monetary imitation in itself provides
both the means of supporting higher
prices and the stimulus for higher
prices. Credit imitation of the gov
ernment deficit type, on the other
hand, provides only the means. The
stimulus waits upon business activ-
ity.
AS has often, perhaps too often,
been repeated, there is credit reserve
in the United States now which is
sufficient to support a far larger
credit structure than was in existence
in 1929 That does not mean that
runaway prices are imminent or even
probable.
Reserve Action Possible.
On the contrary, general indexes
are likely to move forward rather
gradually for a year or two to come
with the prices of individual COM
modities influenced largely by the spe-
cial demand-supply factors in the
separate fields.
Later-well, later if brakes are not
used to check credit velocity-prices
may soar to unprecedented heights
and the price situation become very
hectic indeed. Most observers are
optimistic enough to believe that such
action can and will be taken by the
Federal Reserve before the movement
becomes unmanageable but that is
teyond prediction at this time.
