STILL HOLDING,
B0ARDSAYS

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The
five-months' rise in business activ-
ity continued through November
and the first half of December,
according to the National Indus
trial Conference Board.
The greater-than-seasonal ad-
vance in industrial production
was caused chiefly by a sharp
increase in automobile output,
due to the early introduction Of
1885 models, the board stated.
Decline Expected
A moderate decline in motor
sales is expected during the first
quarter of 1896, but the large
number of untitled orders and
low dealers stocks may sustain
production in spite of, decline
in retail sales, it declares.
Large increases were made in
November, compared with october,
it reports, in motor vehicle pro-
duction and sales, in steel produc-
ton, in electric power output and
in retail trade. Retail prices and
the cost of living also continued
their upward movement during
November.
Construction and engineering
contract awards declined by slight
ly less than seasonal from october
to November the report said.
Public Building Gains
The less-than-Seasonal decline
in building activity seen, was due
primarily to an increase in
publicly financed awards, which
were SO per cent Of the November
total in 81 Eastern States, com.
pared with AZ per cent in July.
Wholesale commodity prices
were about the same as in October,
but per cent higher than in
November, 1884. Retail prices of
food in November were nearly 8
per cent higher than a year ago,
and the general index of retail
prices was S per cent higher.
