RETAIL TRADE-Retail bust
ness is naturally hit the hardest
/; by severe weather. Even so, JAN
uary and February department
store sales held up surprisingly
; well, and marked heavy gains
over last year. Future reports
will doubtless show big advances.
The foregoing give a good idea
of current conditions. Stock mar
ket activity has reflected better
business, with a long list of is
sues making and holding encour-
aging rises-some stocks have
even come within shouting dis
tance of the stratospheric 1929
level. The bond market generally
has been inactive, with U. S. gov
ernments and grade A industrials
selling at almost -prohibitive fig
ures. This would indicate that
investors are not impressed by
the ever-current rumors of infla-

the MIRA into the legislative ash
can, did the hope of the worker
for better pay and reasonable
hours go with it? Did the sweat
shop, principal target of the
wage provisions of the NRA, i'm
modiately flourish?
The answer is No, according to
survey made by the National
Industrial Conference Board of
corporations within 25 industries,
employing millions of workers.
During the first nine months
following NRA's invalidation, the
average industrial employee put in
six per cent more time per week
(2.1 hours). And he received
six per cent more pay ($1.3D.
In May. 1885, last month of
the NRA's brief and exciting
life. the average industrial pay en-
velope contained $21.76. In JAN
uray, 1886, it contained $23.O7.
And January witnessed a season
al drop from December, when
the average wage was around
$3.50 per week.

CASA MARINA
CLOSES AFTER
= GOOD SEASON
THIRTY GUESTS REMAINED
AT HosTELRY UP UNTIL
YESTERDAY; SCHUTT MUCH
PLEASED WITH BUSINESS

Although the Casa Marina Ho-
tel was officially closed April 1,
this magnificent hostelry did not
actually cease operating until
yesterday afternoon, the extended
time being a courtesy extended to
about 80 guests who remained to
take passage on the Cuba yester-
day afternoon.
Among those staying were D..
ingalls,, assistant secretary of war,
aeronautical branch, during the
Hoover administration, Mrs. In
gals and their children, Louise,
Ann, Edith, June, and David, G.
B. Buchanan, confidential advisor
to Thompson and McKinnOn, and
other notables who were guests
throughout the season, numbering
in all about 80.
The season just closed, despite
lack of transportation, was con-
sidered very satisfactory it was
learned today, and the belief is
that with the construction of
bridges and easy access to the
city, there will always be a Won
derful season at the Casa Ma
rina.
One thing which attracted a
number of visitors was the golf
course, which is now in excellent
condition and Manager Peter
Schutt, of the hotel, believes that
if maintained at its present state
it will always prave one of the
strongest attractions for winter
visitors.
The Casa Marina was con-
structed in 1921 and with the ex-
ception of the seasons 1898 and
IA and '35, when closed because
of the depression and troubles in
Cuba, was operated under the
management of the Schutt family.
Previously the manager was L.
P. Schutt, who was its first man.
ager and continued in that ca
pacity until the period when the
hotel was closed. During that
period the elder Mr.. Schutt passed
on, and this season the able and
successful management was con-
Quoted by his son Peter Schutt.
Many visitors have declared
that the atmosphere OF the Casa
Marina is the best to be found
throughout the United States,
the cuisine unsurpassed and the
courtesy extended guests is of
that kind which makes it a de-
light to be numbered among the
guests, and creates a feeling of
comfort and satisfaction and a
longing to return.
Manager and Mrs. Schutt will
remain for a short while and plan
to leave about the middle of next
week for their home in Fort
Myers.

ACCORDING TO Lfa0lLlOn, major
war scare always has a strong
effect on business in a great in
! dustrial country, such as the U.
S. But Europe's recent Difficult
ties-which certainly brought the
world closer to a big war than it
has been since the spring of 1914
had surprisingly mild repercus-
sions here. There was a brief
hysteria in the stock market a
few weeks ago when France and
Germany were nearest to combat,
but it was of small significance.
American industry, as Business
Week has pointed out, is focusing
its attention on the American
market, is paying relatively little
attention to foreign lands.
For more than two months,
bad weather has dampened recOv-
ery-even though business in the
first part of 1886 was a great
deal better than in the equivalent
months of any of the depression
years since 1880. Now that spring
is here, the outlook for improve
ment in the near future is held
to be bright. The late floods will
naturally be a blow to business in
some sections, but it is impossible
as yet to determine how widely
their baneful influence will be
felt.
At any rate, nothing seems able
to stop recovery. A brief survey
of business conditions, taken
from the most authoritative re-
ports. follow:
MISUNDERSTANDING net in
come was Ga per cent over jan
uary, 1885, was the best for that
month since 1880. Increased
railraod business for the balance
of the year seems certain. with
steel production rising, and the
motor manufacturers busy as bird
dogs. Railroad executives, how
ever, are Of the opinion that more
traffic is not the entire solution
to the "railroad problem"-that
change in the Federal regulatory
policy toward all common carriers
is necessary if railroad net is to
reach a respectable figure.
STEEL-A remarkable change
in policy, hailed as a forward step
by practically all outside observ-
ers. has taken place in this in
dustry. Since the turn of the
century, steel prices have theoret-
ically been fixed on a firm unit
basis-a large buyer paid the
same price per ton as small
buyer. Actually, there has al
ways been price-cutting on the
q. t.. with the final result that,
a few months ago, it was forecast
that the steel price structure was
about due for collapse. Now
major producers in the industry,
led by Republic Steel, have pub
licly posted prices allowing guam
tity discounts, are frank to say
that the big buyer will get bet
ter deal than the small buyer. 1t
is figured that this will eliminate
"cut-throat competition" inside
the industry.
CONSTRUCT1ON-Revival in
BODYBUILDING seems to be at
hand at last, with reports of slim
ulated construction in the face of
bad weather, coming from all sec
tons of the country. Heavy
construction is holding up well,
though government contracts still
predominant.
TEXTILES - Business Week
says textile manufacturers spent
$40. 100000 for new machinery
and parts last year, as a start in
campaign to increase efficiency.
reduce operating costs. This fig
ure will be substantially exceeded
in 1886.
