ton, as many others have done, sought
even further statistical confirmation
of the story told by these 12 measure
ments. He had set down other salient
economic facts in his notebook and
he now secured comparative figures
which would give still more accurate
statistical picture of what had taken
place:
National income for 1888 was esti-
mated at s44431 ,oOo, 900 as compared
with $49, ,440, 900 900 in 1894, a gain of
IL per cent. With Federal work relief
payments excluded from this grand
total, there are still gain of 10 per
, cent. Income to labor in the form Of
salaries and wages accounted for a
larger proportion of the total national
income in 1884 than in 1929.
Another significant fact to note is
that the 1894 gains were largest in
those industries and types of income
payment groups which had the great

the first seven months of 1885 totaled
over one billion dollars as compared
with only slightly over 300 millions
for the same period in 1888. Probably
one of the most significant changes
in the business and industrial world
in the past three years has been the
increase in profits. According to a
report Of the Standard Statistics Co..
net profits Of Alb leading industrial
corporations. representing an i'm
portant cross section of business, for
1884 totaled $1,108,000,000, or more
than any year since 1880.
The peak Of profits for these cor
porations was reached in 1929 and had
receded from that time until 1888
when the upward swing started.
According to the report, indications
so far this year are toward a con-
tinuation of the upward trend. The
great benefits to the people generally
in this gain are evidenced in the fact
that these corporations paid out 1924
OO0, 900 in dividends in 1884, or $154,-
600 900 more than in 1888.
From still another standpoint,
progress is reflected in the figures Of
net profit earned on invested capital.
This reached the peak Of l1.2 per cent
in 1929, dropped to l per cent by
1882 and rose to 81 per cent in 1888
and 405 per cent in 1885.
Heavy Goods Increase.
During the depression period. in
dustry in general would not replace
obsolete equipment and add new ma
chinery. Indisputable evidence that
the basic forces of recovery were
under way was demanded. for such
capital expenditures require a much
longer period of returns on invest
ment as economic justification. The
heavy goods industries and machine
tool groups reflected the deferred de-
mand in industry as whole.
Industrial and business leaders
pointed out that until these heavy in
dustry groups improved greatly sus-
tanned and stable economic recovery
could not be secured. Therefore, it
is significant that these basic indus
tries have shown the following i'm
provements:
Using the 1926 level Of shipments
as equal to 100, the index of orders
in the machine tool industries in
March, 1888, was at IA, while in
July, 1885, it had advanced to a level
Of 1913. With the 1924 average
as 100. the foundry equipment In
! dustry advanced from 9.8 in March,
! 1888, to level Of 81 in July, 1885.
1t is estimated that the sales Of farm
equipment in 1885 will total between
$50 and 300 million dollars. as COM
pared with 116 millions in 1882. Steel

past two years. are now holding former

gains and leaders in this industry
predict steady and continued i'm
provement due to the widespread de-
mands in all fields of industrial ac-
tivity.
The significance of these improve
ments is not primarily in what the
figures themselves show. but in the
larger meaning of these processes,
revealing as they do the extent to
which renewed activity is now perme-
ating the basic capital investment
segment, as well as the front-line
consumer division of industry.
One of the most challenging prob
lens which faced the new administra-
ton in March, 1888, was the loss of
farm markets and the decrease in
farm income. BY 1882 the income of
the farmers had dropped to the point
where they could no longer purchase
any substantial part of the products
of business and industry. An increase
in the purchasing power Of our agri-
cultural population was certain, there
fore. to benefit the business man as
well as the farmer.
Let us measure briefly the results
achieved in President Ropsevelt's OBJ
jective effort to bring about a better
balance between agriculture and in
dustry. Cash farm income rose from
$4,328, 100000 in 1882, to over s6,300,-
100000 in 1884. 1t is estimated that
cash income to farmers for 1885 will
exceed $6,500 100000, the largest in
five years.
| Exchange Fav0rs Farmers.
Prices Of farm products advanced
more rapidly in 1884 than the prices
OF articles which the farmer pur-
chased, resulting in the exchange value
per unit of the former improving ma
terially during the year This in
crease is the prices of farm products
and raw materials and in agricultural
income thus contributed to a more
favorable and better balanced re-
lationship and has facilitated and
stimulated the exchange Of goods and
services between the agricultural and
| industrial Segments of our economic
/ life. The improvement of purchasing
power in the rural areas has been such
that the farmer has now assumed a
more normal position as consumer.
This improvement is now being sub
stantially reflected in accelerated in
dustrial and business activity.

from any source can challenge sue

This brief picture of the improvement
in our national income and the char

the fundamental SoundneSs of eco
nomic conditions and the strong basis
which is now established for still
greater recovery.
Financial Gains Recorded.
In the field of banking and finance,
salutary gains have been recorded as
follows: Net demand deposits increased
from s9,745, ,000, 600 in March, 1898, to
over 1872 billions in July, 1885. a gain
of SO per cent. Excess reserves in
member banks of the Federal reserve
system totaled over $4,000 100000 in
September. 1885, which is a new high
record. Stock prices of 42l leading
issues advanced "a per cent and bond
prices of 60 issues rose So per cent from
March, 1888. to July. 1885.

the picture Of conditions existing upon
his return in contrast to what they
had been at the time of his departure.
AS he stood on the deck Of the
steamer moving in from the sea
toward New York City. with the
skyscrapers gradually lifting higher
and higher above the horizon. he
recalled the day two and one-half
years before when he had stood on
the deck of an outgoing ship watching
the skyline drop lower and lower as
his ship disappeared over the horizon
and put out to sea. He recalled now
how the picture of the disappearing
skyline had struck him as being
strangely symbolic of the descending
economic and social life of the
Nation, which had continued steadily
downward from the Fall OF 1929 until
the date of his sailing. For over
three and one-half years the lines on
business graphs and charts had been
going downward in the same way.

the latest business figures available
at the time of his departure. With
that picture clearly revived IN his
mind, as he gazed at the picture of
the rising skyline gradually unfolding
before him he wondered If it was
symbolic of what had taken place in
the United States during his absence.
Because of his objective interest in
measuring the recorded results be-
tween March /. 1888, and September
/ l, 1885. he brought all the figures in
his notebook up to date as of March
! l. 1888, and then in another column
| he set down the latest comparable
figures he could secure.
Figures Show Progress.
This is the story told by the figures:
Industrial production was 46 per
cent higher in June, 1885, than in
March, 1888; factory employment, SO
per cent higher; factory pay rolls, 70
i per cent higher; electric power pro-
duction, l8 per cent more; rural
general store sales, 104 per cent
greater; passenger automobile sales,
157 per cent more: freight car load
ings rose 16 per cent; steel ingot pro-
duction advanced 153 per cent: con-
StruCtlon contracts awarded rose 157
per cent; automobile production rose
2l3 per cent; while in the field of
foreign trade our imports for con-
sumption advanced 90 per cent and
our exports rose So per cent.

have taken place in these IL important
business indices are in themselves

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-This
department is in something of a
dither over Louis Bromfield's
new play, DE Luxe" Our afore-
said dither, it may be explained,
is because practically nothing
has been announced about a
play and a cast which looks to
be one of the most interesting
of the entire season. For in
stance:
The cast has Poppy D'Albrew,
popular night club entertainer;
Elsa Maxwell, famed socialite;
Claudia Morgan, Violet Heming,
Cora Witherspoon, Julia Hoyt,
another socialite: Ann Andrews,
Blanche Ring, Melvyn Douglas
and several others. This is a
cast, certainly as attractive as
any this year-Miss Maxwell,
incidentally, will play the role
of Elsa Maxwell-and it should
be fairly difficult to give her a
bad review.
