NEW FARM ACT
|. |SEXPECTED SOON
Wall Street Believes Action
Will Prevent Loss for
Rural Areas.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, January 6.-Most
quarters in Wall Street today were
inclined to the view that since the A.
A. A. decision had been rendered with
Congress in session, new legislation
would quickly be formulated to pre-
vent any impairment Of agricultural
purchasing power.
Food, packing and cotton textile
circles welcomed the decision. They
thought the notification Of the proc
essing taxes would result in lower
prices to the consumer and would
tend to increased consumption.
Wall Street generally was disin-
clined to look for any important in
terruption of the Nations recovery
movement, although some observers
foresaw temporary confusion.
The adverse A. A. A. decision
proved less disturbing to Wall Street
markets than the N. r. A. decision
last June. While the response to
the N. r. A. notification was opti-
mistic, apprehension quickly filtered
through business circles that removal
of the codes might result in cut
throat price cutting and wage slash
ing, and seriously interrupt the Ma
tion's economic recovery. These fears
subsidized after a few weeks, however.
After Wall Street had had an
hour to digest the news Of the
A. A. A. decision, the stock market
turned quiet. and price trends were
mixed.
A number of Wall Street market and
investment experts said the country
would quickly adjust itself to the de-
cision. J. F. Hughes, economist and
statistician, said:
The inyalidation of the A. A. A.
and processing taxes seem a relatively
minor influence in the total national
economic set-up.
The shifting around OF some $780,
100000 of taxes, which is all that is
involved, is incapable of stopping the
basic recovery movement"
He said he expected business to take
the A. A. A. decision in its stride, as
it did the N. r. A. decision"

Admiration and Skepticism
Both Apparent in Wall
Street Circles.
BY RAIDER WINGET,
Associated Press Financial Writer

.
NEW YORK, January 6-The
Roosevelt balance of the Federal Gov
ernment's "open-end" budget submit
ted today to Congress aroused among
New York analysts of public finance a
wave of mingled admiration and skep-
ticism.
Economists noted that the message
faced directly or indirectly the diff.
cult fiscal problems presented by SOL
diers' benefits, relief expenditures and
economic trends.
The $1,000, 900 excess of the $5.654,-
100000 in receipts over the $685.
100000 in expenditures, estimated
minus relief for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1887, was described as a
delicate balance" which could be up
set by bonus legislation, an expansion
of Federal relief, or slump in gen.
eral business
Receipt Estimates Up.
One Of the more surprising budget
ary items to some analysts was the
substantial increase of more than
81 ,243 200. 900 in estimated receipts
in 1887 over 1886 and the decrease Of
some 1898 .000,0 900 in estimated gross
expenditures during the same period.
One economist said receipts might
be even larger than estimated be-
cause Of generally expected better
ment Of business, all without addi-
tional taxes.
Others voiced doubts that the Gov
ernment income would gain mate
rally over the estimate or that the
expenditure decrease would be so
large.
An indirect warning to Congress
on soldiers benefits was read into
the Presidents declaration that should
legislation add more charges to the
budget, Il strongly urge that addi-
tional taxes be provided to cover such
charges"
Mr.. Roosevelt placed in the budget
81 .098 900, 900 for recovery and relief
representing estimated expenditures
from unexpended balances Of pre-
vious emergency appropriations.
Regarded as Sound.
Additional appropriations, it was
shown, would increase the gross
deficit. Such handling was called
confusing but sound" by one econ
omist who believed the President
thus placed the responsibility for any
possible additions to the deficit upon
the shoulders of Congress and busi-
ness.
Expansion of private employment.
Mr. Roosevelt said. would limit the
amount necessary to care for the job
less and thus hold down the deficit,
and at the same time Congress was
charged with the responsibility Of
limiting lbs grants for relief.
Little light was cast on the addi-
tional relief needed, but the President
did not believe it would be large
enough to cause the 1887 gross deficit
to pass the 1886 gross deficit. He
promised to transmit estimates to the
present session Of Congress.
A summary of available opinion dis
closed the broad conclusion that busi-
ness should be highly gratified be-
cause of the balanced budget, minus
relief; the absence of proposals for
new or additional taxation. and the
limitations imposed upon relief
spending.
On the other hand, it was felt that
business would not like the increase
in total regular expenditures mapped
for 1887 compared with 1886, the
chance that the Roosevelt balance
could be destroyed, and the open
end" of the budget which permits an
underlined extention of relief grants.

Establishment Of q United
States naval academy on the Pa
cific Coast, duplicating the pres
ent academy at Annapolis, was
encouraged today with announce
ment by Carl Vinson Cd Of
Georgia, chairman Of the House
Naval Affairs Committee, that
hearings on the proposal would
be conducted "as soon as pos
Sible."
A bill has been introduced by
Representative John Tolan Cd
of California, calling for appro-
priation of 10 million dollars for
q naval academy in the San Fran
cisco area.
Air Base Approved
The Naval Affairs Committee
last week placed its stamp Of ap-
proval upon the Carter measure
to establish a naval air base at
Alameda, Cal, to provide essen
tial" air defense for the San Fran
cisco Bay area. The project Is
expected to cost between Is mil.
lion dollars and 20 million dollars.
Chairman Vinson said the acad-
envy proposal would be given most
careful consideration"
Because of the nearness to con-
gresSional adjournment, he said
there was some doubt If hearings
could be begun this session, but
that if not they would get under
way at the next session.
New point" Urged
VinSon also revealed there is o
possibility that air cadets from the
western States, instead Of being
trained at Pensacola as at pres
ent, may be trained in the future
on the West Coast, either at the
proposed Alameda air base or at
Sunnyvale.
Another bill introduced earlier
by Representative Dockweiler CD
of California calls for establish
ment Of a new military academy
in the Los Angeles area.
