Phil Baker, one of the foremost figures among the topnotch come dians of the radio world, has been signed as the headliner of new sponsored series to be heard over an extensive WABC-Columbia net work each Sunday, from 7:3O to S:00 p. m., beginning September 29. This will be Bakers first ap- pearance on the Columbia chain and the programs will be heard over the same stations carrying the present sponsors series.
 The widely popular comic re- turns to the air with a background of two and half years in radio and a virtual lifetime in the show business. He is a Philadelphian by birth and started a stage career at an early age. As Phil slyly puts it, II just went on the stage so I could sleep late. I never could get up in the morning."

Business to Slow
Down in Spring,
Says Economist
BY PAUL CLAY.

The period Of trade expansion which
began October l, 1894, ought normally
to run into the Spring of 1886, and
thereafter it seems likely that general
trade activity may diminish for some
period of six months or more.
We are witnessing the usual en-
crochment Of operating costs upon
gross revenues, as Illustrated, for ex-
ample, by the much more rapid rise
since 1882 in raw materials than in
finished goods.
Our 1885 industrial production prom
ises to be equivalent to about SO per
cent of that of 1880, while industrial
corporation earnings promise to be
equivalent to only about So per cent.
Thus conservative business policies
should be planned for the period be-
ginning about next April.
Very high labor cost per unit of
output, due primarily to the N. r. A.
have brought about an urgent demand
for machine tools and for new labor
saving machinery. Much of the new
machinery is tremendously productive.
with the result that a tendency toward
over production promises to have q
generally depressing influence upon
prices, incidental displacement Of
labor. too. will probably increase un-
employment after next Spring.

BUILDING ACTIVITY
IS HOPEFUL SIGN
Government Aid important,
but Mounting Taxes
Prove Obstacle.
BY Cambridge Associates.

The index of residential building
reached its depression low later than
did the other important indices of
business activity. Following this point
in early 1893 only minor bulges above
the level of complete stagnancy oc-
CURED during period of two years.
Since the first quarter of 1885, how
ever, the trend has been definitely
and encouragingly upward. More
important, there is every reason to
believe that this trend will continue.
In that first burst of New Deal
enthusiasm, both residential building
and building costs increased rather
sharply. 1t was an abortive move
ment. Rents were still trending down.
ward and there had been no increase
in general purchasing power to JUS
tify an upward movement.
This reluctance Of rents to Join the
rise in prices of other goods and serv-
ices was manifest until late in 1884
During this past year they have
risen, steadily but very gradually The
rise, however, was sufficient to induce
renewed interest in residential build
ing and the birth of activity in this
field is one Of the most encouraging
indications which 1885 has offered OF
a genuine turn toward a new prosper
ity.
The Governments encouragement
and aid have been an important factor
in stimulating interest in private
building, although, on the other hand
mounting taxes prove an obstacle to
some building that is sorely needed.

LIVE STOCK PRICES
At 5yEAR PEAK
Gains Sharp for Producers,

BY the Associated Press.

Dy bAlC AooOOlaICA ACoos
CHICAGO, December 31.-The 1895
parade of animals through the live
stock-to-meat" industry was the most
expensive and smallest in recent
years.
Thus, with prices received by pro-
ducers the highest in five to six years,
and meat production rs per cent less
than in 1884, the picture Of this in
dustry, the Nations largest from the
standpoint Of value of products. has
been spotted the last year with bright
and somber colors.
A Government preliminary estimate
placed farmers gross income from
meat animals and wool at $1,000, ,000,-
900. exclusive of benefit payments, al
most 20 per cent above last year.
Not so satisfactory, however, was
the volume of business done in the
industry. Farmers sent fewer head
to market but got more money. Pack
ers' operations were lower but the few
that were able to maintain volume
increased dollar sales.
Consumers, paying higher retail
charges, changed meat eating habits.
Preliminary estimates placed the COM
mercial meat consumption 18 per cent
less than 1884, with the amount OF
pork eaten the lowest since 1917.

Rayon output, In turn, has scored
a new high production record to a
level some 20 per cent ahead of 1884.
The years average rayon price has
been slightly lower than last year, al
though a good show of strength was
made around midyear. The stat stical

Oil Leader Cheered.
Axtell j. Byles. president Of the
American Petroleum Institute, found
that the most comforting assurance
during 1885 was the realization that
there are, within the confines OF
the United States, sufficient petroleum
reserves to meet the needs of gen.
erations, if not centuries"
He pointed to newly developed re-
fning and producing methods which
are aimed at conservation of the
Nations oil wealth, and commented
upon the furtherance Of co-opers ton
by the industry with State aud Fed
eral regulatory methods.
Byles continued: "The petroleum
industry is maintaining a high rate
of employment, liberal wage scale,
and good working conditions. 1t rec
ognizes the necessity of keeping its
operations in line with the require
ments Of sound economics and of
practical conservation"
Chester Points to Gains.
6. M. Chester, chairman Of Gen.
eral Foods Corp: "The food industry
in 1885 held oown prices, maintained
code wages and hour scales, and ex-
panded employment Food prices,
with a few notable exceptions, rose
about per cent in 1885.
Through intensive research and
the spending of nearly s27o,000,0O0
on new equipment, machinery and
plants, the food industry was able to
check costs even while many items
were advancing. Profits of food COM
panies in 1885 were mostly rather
close to those of 1884"
Thomas A. Buckner, president of
the New York Life Insurance Co.,
stated: Improved business condi-
tions and revival of public conf
dence during the last year lead me
to anticipate still further gains in

Cotton Exports Sho'o Climb,
Textiles Improve in 1885
BY THOMAS z. FLANAGAN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, December 3l.-Mod-
crate revival of exports and improve
ment in domestic textile manufactur-
ing brings raw cotton down the 1898
home stretch in somewhat better
health than last year-although price
Is lower.
The staples limited betterment in
some measure goes back to March,
when it was knocked down for losses
of about $40 a bale under pressure
of selling from those uncertain about
the Government loan policy.
It's subsequent irregular recovery
has had two important props: The
upturn of the domestic textile indus
try and the gradual expansion of ex-
ports.
100000 More Bales Expected.
Shipments for the season have ex-
ceeded the 2,150,000 bales of last year
by about 100000 bales. This export
gain is seen in some trade circles as
the result in part Of the Govern
ment's reduction of its loans on cot
ton from IL to 10 cents a pound.
This lowering of the loan value
helped funnel American cotton into
world markets at price at which it
could compete more readily with TOR
eign growths. Another helpful factor
was the failure of the crops of Brazil
and India to come up to original esti-
mates.
As the year comes to a close, carry
over, though still substantial, is we'll
under year ago. On the other hand,
the indicated 1885 crop Of l0,70O, 900
bales is about 100000 bales above
last years.

Of National Steel Corp, cited business
gains in the last year and asserted:
IF purely business factors were
all that had to be considered in ap-
praising the present situation or the
prospects of the immediate future, VIC
would have every reason to believe
that these business gains Lave been
made on solid ground.
The country seems to have
reached the point where
natural forces of recovery have gained
enough strength to overbalancs the
forces Of depression and start sus-
tanned upward movement.
THE one serious obstacle to such
development, in my opinion, is the
continuance of political interference
with the normal workings of the
business system. Such interference
has impeded recovery to date. " d" ."
