DANGERS ARE SEEN
IN OVEREXPANSION
Hamilton Institute Holds Present
Activity Will Have Depressing
Effect Next Year.
eciaI Disnatch IN The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. November 9.-The in
dex of the value of factory output rose
from 1928 in August to TAI in Septem-
ber, due not only to the gain in the
quantity produced but alsc to a Slight
ly higher price level, according to the
Alexander Hamilton Institute. The
value index in September was 305
per cent higher than IN the same
month last year when the index was
only 56.8.
AS in previous months, the value Of
factory output in September was we'll
in excess of this years normal demand
This is indicated by the fact that the
estimated 1885 farm income index is
GAS and farm income is measuring
rod for the normal demand for factory
goods.
While overexpansion during the first
nine months foreshadcws some cur
tailment during the last quarter, the
outlook is that such curtailment will
not be sufficient to correct much of
the excess, especially since there is no
evidence yet that a recession has
started.
Consequently the prospect is that
1885 will be year of overexpansion.
which may prove to be relatively
greater than the overexpansion of
1929. This will naturally tend to have
a depressing effect on manufacturing
activity in 1886.

NEW YORK. November 9.-Zinc
prices we're advanced 50 a ton by all
but one seller late this week when
publication of October statistics re-
vealed the firm position of the metal.
Demand. which had been tagging
in recent weeks. picked up sharply
prior to the price rise.
The figures on October shipments
were reported as the largest for any
month stree October. 1929. while
stocks of slab zinc declined to the
lowest level for the past two years.
There was some increase in demand
for lead. stimulated partly by firm
ness of zinc and also by good demand
for finished products, but the price
for the metal was unchanged.
Copper buying remained in limited
volume at unchanged levels. Favor
able factors mentioned by sellers were
the large shipments of metal to fabri-
Gators against heavy purchases in
previous months and some improve
ment in foreign demand at steadier
prices.
Tin prices moved irregularly. For
the week spot quotations showed a
net gain owing to the restricted sup
plies on hand, but future quotations
sagged somewhat due to the larger
production quotas recently announced
by the International Tin Committee

DRIVE ON POSTAL
SAVINGS FORECAST
Congress May Be Asked to Curb
System Which Is Growing
Steadily.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fTeSS.
Federal banking authorities would
not be surprised TO see in the next
session of Congress strong move for
curb on postal savings deposits.
With savings and commercial banks
still reducing interest rates in many
communities. the per cent return on
postal savings has had growing ap-
peal.
Postal savings deposits remain
around the peak made two years ago,
despite the fact deposit insurance has
been established in the meanwhile and
bank failures have declined to the
smallest number in many years.
Considering the protection afforded
the small man through deposit insur-
ance, some officials are inclined to lend
a sympathetic ear to banker demands
for a restriction on postal savings, ex-
cept in communities which have no
other bank facilities.
Postal authorities in the last ses-
sion of Congress were largely success
full in repulsing efforts to clip their
wings in connection with the 1885
banking act.

Agricultural Exports Stage

buses declined sharply. Those prod
ucts previously had been leaders in
the recovery of industrial exports.
Beginning in 1934-35 a very sharp
differentiation in the trends of agrl-
cultural and industrial exports ap-
peared. Prior to that time the volume
of agricultural exports had been main
tanned at fairly high levels, and the
volume of industrial exports had been
low.
The drought, which reduced agri-
cultural surpluses. was in part te-
sponsible for a downturn in exports
which occurred at the same time III
dustry was slowly recovering its ex-
port market. The result was a re-
versal in trend which placed indus
trial exports at q higher level. in

Merchants Placing Holiday
Orders, Confident in Ap.

Special pispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. November e-Mer-
chants are preparing for the best
Christmas season since 1929-and that
is some mark to shoot at. The Index"
for the Christmas holiday trade in
1929 was something like 100, as COM
pared with about 135 for the Christmas
season last year.
But there is possibility that some
such gain can be made. for the last
two years have shown notable i'm
provement. The bottom for year-end
holiday volume. according to the Fed
eral Reserve Boards unadjusted index
of the daily average value of depart
ment store sales Q923-5 average
equals 100 per cent? was reached IN
1882, when the index stood at less
than 10, or about equal to the usual
Spring volume in good times.
Steady improvement Cited.
In 1888 We had better Christmas
by about 10 or IL percentage points
than the year before. The index was
around 100. Last years index Of
around 1876 was about 10 percentage
points below the approximate las
index for Christmas. 1881.
In order to set up the best mark
since 1929 the coming Christmas sea-
son would have to turn in the largest
department store sales totals since the
curve shot up to 165 in 1880. And
that would mean adding more than
80 percentage points to last years
good showing.
It is reported in local wholesale
quarters that merchants are placing
orders for holiday goods in volume
that bespeaks great confidence in the
response of consumers. Such pur-
chasing, of course, is concentrated
largely in gift novelties, toys. jewelry
and silverware, with the usual empha-
sis on Winter sports equipment. This
year Mr.. and Mrs. Consumer are ex-
pected to make some more ambitious
purchases than they were, as a general
rule, able to swing last Christmas.
For that reason stocks or radio sets
in the higher price ranges, musical
instruments and even pianos are being
built up to a once familiar level.
Weather Is Big Factor.
In the interim between now and the
real consumer rush for Christmas
merchandise the retail market is likely
to be weather market" One may
take a look at the weather map these
days and, wherever the temperature Is
seasonal" it may be assumed that
retail sales conditions are as rosy as

frosts.
Ordinarily it is a pretty good retail
maxim that "lost sales are gone fore
ever" But many merchants are re-
fusing to apply that rule to sales of
wearing apparel which were lost in
October because of the unusually
warm weather over large portion Of
the East. They argue that conditions
are a bit different today because so
many people must before long re-
place Winter clothing which has seen
some pretty hard wear. They look
to the necessitous demand to make
up in the first run Of cold weather
for sales lost during the prolonged
