There was in industry mid-year let down which was reflected in the the Independence Day holiday in dustrial wheels began to hum with sharper rhythm, and merchants profited from fatter payrolls.
 Partial Autumn Slump
 Fall was a trying time for many Wet weather, dust storms, floods and other hindrances cut into re- tail trade substantially, but even SC there was no nationwide depres- sion. Some cities experienced large sales while others dropped well be- low the corresponding period of the previous year.
 Thanksgiving week disclosed a sagging tendency in the east but buoyancy in the mid west, south and west coast sections.
 But a sharp rebound followed, and Christmas holiday shopping estab- lished six-year records in some cities while others passed the pre- vious year with ease.
 Quality Goods Bought
 Merchants reported their cus- toners were buying more than in 1884, and demand was in evidence for better quality articles along with higher priced goods such as home furnishings and the more ex- pensive wearing apparel.
 On the average, authorities pre- dicted final check of 1885 should show a 5 to Is per cent increase over 1894 for the country as whole in retail trade.

Associated Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Uncle Sam struggled into the seven league boots of revived business initiative in 1885, to hasten the march to better times.
 With businessmen once more rea- dy to build factories and introd /, new products, new year dawns with higher hopes of restoration of broad economic well-being than has accompanied the start of new fiS- cal period in a long time.
 Unemployment figures still loom large, but business analysts have noted distinct signs during the past few months or transition to new and broader phase of recovery which may mean big gains in jobs.
 New Investment Funds
 These signs include some of the largest orders for machine tools since 1929; electric power produc- ton even exceeding the boomtime records, while sales of such recent creations of production indus try as electric refrigerators, air con- ditioning equipment and automatic home heating machinery set new highs; pronounced pickup in resi- dential construction, and the break ing of the ice-jam in the flow of new capital.
 These indicators point to reviv- al in the tagging capital goods in dustries-thoSe lines activated by the historic urge of Americans to build, tear down and rebuild better, to add ever new products to the na- tional grist of material goods.
 Recovery thus far, including that of the past year, has been concen- trated in consumers goods. Sweep ing gains were recorded in 1885 in production and sales of those things put to immediate use by the public. The largest number of automobiles was manufactured since 1929, and even 1929 records were broken by gasoline, cigaret and wool consump- tion.
 Rebuilding Wave
 Less significance is seen in the jump of production in consumers goods, than in the publications that a new wave of rebuilding and modern ization may be starting. This may begin to cut into the totals of unem- ployed. The furry in consumers goods has made limited progress in restoring employment during the past two years. For October, the na- tional industrial conference board estimated unemployed at 9,196,000, only 712.000 under year previously, and 728,000 under two years previ- ously.
 The problem of how much lack of work may be due to increasing use of labor-saving machinery remains the subject of keen controversy, but experts widely acknowledge that building and modernization, togeth- CT with production, distribution and servicing of new products, will make many jobs.
