REVIVAL IN AUTO
OUTPUT HAILED
Total Again Near 100000
a Week--Steady Rise
Is Predicted.
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, March, 19.-Production
of the motor car assembly plants 10
getting back near 100000 units q week.
Because the turn from the low point
conceded with the return of milder
weather In most sections Of the coun.
try, producers and distributors gen.
orally are convinced factory activity
during the Summer months will estab-
.ish new high levels for the last five
years.
One of the interesting developments
of the last few weeks has been an esti-
mate by Robert c. Graham. executive
vice president of the Graham-Paige
Motors Corp, that factory output in
the United States and Canada this
year will approximate 100000 cars
and trucks.
Graham Is the first of the motor car
makers to put his 1896 outlook into
actual figures. Most of the other man.
ufacturers have been content to predict
merely that demand this year will ex-
ceed that of 1885, curing which FAC
tory assemblies aggregated 4,l5o,00O
cars and trucks.
Trade reports during the last fort
night have told OF marked improve
ment in consumer demand that should
extend assembly line activity steadily
during the coming weeks.
At the same time the trade continues
its efforts to reduce a large accumula-
ton of second hand cars. The burden
of carving used cars rests chiefly
upon the retailer, but the producer
has more than a sympathetic interest
in the condition Of the used-car mar
ket because of its effect upon the dis
tribution Of new units.
Interesting to the trade at the mo-
ment are plans Of the Packard COM
pany for a further invasion Of the
lower.price field. The company
brought out one lower-priced car last
April and reported a favorable earn
ings statement at the close OF last
year.
It is keeping its future plans fairly
well concealed, but the trade looks FOL
a new six-cylinder model before the
end Of the year that may compete
with the present lowest-price types
If these plans materialize as the trade
expects, Packard will compete In viz
tually every price range with Genera
Motors, Ford and Chrysler.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.

PHILADELPHIA, March i9.-Re-
sumption of dividends on the COM
mon stock of the Budd wheel Co.
was indicated as a possibility for the
near future by Edward G. Budd, presi-
dent, following the annual meeting
Of stockholders at which six directors
were reelected.
"only q relatively small part Of
our earnings Of s7s4,444 for last year
were distributed. but enough to pay
ali preferred dividends and leave only
$4,000 In arress on the sinking
fund" Mr.. Budd said. Payment of
this arrearase has been authorized,
after which earnings win be avail
able as dividends on the common
stock.
"The automobile business in recent
months has been very good. and so
are the possibilities for the future.
We are having O good month in
March and the expectation Is that
as we get into Spring the volume
will increase considerably"

The B. F.. Goodrich Company
has called for redemption on Feb
ruary /, 1887, the $16,421,500 face
amount of 612 per cent first

and that the bank is now ready
to pay the bonds with interest
in full to February /. The bonds
were callable on so days notice

The chairman pointed out that
1t is not necessary for holders Of
the bonds outstanding to wait un-
til February / to obtain imme-
diate payment of the full re-
demption price plus accrued in
terest to the February 1 date.
The call for retention follows
the sale to a banking group
headed by Goldman Sachs and
Company. of an issue of $27, ,000,.
900 of AZ per cent first mortgage

eral corporate purposes, including
additional working capital, the
chairman said.

When Congress assemblies next
month, it will be confronted with
an extensive list of legislative pro
posals to provide new forms OF
control and regulations over busi-
ness, according to the Standard
Statistics Company.
Many of these measures would,
if actually enacted, exert an i'm
portant influence upon the further
progress of business recovery.
Measures now under consideration
range all the way from bills de-
signed to attack the problem piece
meal-within the limits Of con-
stitutionality established by recent
Supreme Court deciSions-to pro-
posals involving comprehensive
modification of the Constitution
itself, the report says.
The Standard Statistics Com
pany recently has conducted a

Gus legislative proposals likely to
receive early consideration. It's con-
cluSions are briefly summarized as
follows:

receive Administration approval,
but it is improbable that these
will exert a major retarding eff.
feet during 1887 on the prOspec-
tive rise in business volumes.
"Such enactmentS are likely
to be on q piecemeaI basis rather
than in any such comprehensive
form as the original NRA, and
should have only minor effects
on costs and profit margins.
"The question Of q specific
amendment to the Constitution
to permit broader regulation Of
wages and working conditions
may well be held in allegiance,
although the question is under
active discussion, and 1887 may
offer favorable opportunity for
its presentation to the State
legislatures for ratification.
Nevertheless, the trend con.
tinueS definitely in the direction
of permanent policies Of Federal
regulation and control, and the
Administration is likely to ap-
prove, even though 1t does not
directly sponsor, a number Of
such proposals next year."

SHOE BUSINESS
SH0WSGA|NS

AS a result of increases in both
leather prices and shoe sales, earn
ingS are being recorded by most
units in the shoe and leather in
dustry, according to Poor's.
Following a comparatively un-
favorable first half, profit recovery
in the final half indicates an i'm
proved showing for the full year,
as against 1885. Even after liberal
upward revisions in dividend rates,
sizeable extras are being declared
as a result of the Federal tax on
undistributed earnings. The report
adds:
"The 4O,225, 900 pairs of shoes
produced in August, 1896, con-
stituted new all-time record.
Since that seasonal peak pr0duc-
ton has not declined materially,
suggesting a 1886 total output in
excess Of 400 million pairs versus
the 384 million record established
during 1885. This showing may
be ascribed in part, to the fact
that prices have not generally
advanced on shoes. On the other
hand, leather has advanced 10
per cent since the first of the
year and by the close of 1886
Il is expected to reach a level rs
per cent above the 1885 year
end"

MONEY
GROUP MEETS

How to prevent a recurrence of
the destruction caused by the re,
cent economic depression, will be
the principal subject under dis,
cuSSion at the National Economic
Forum, to be held in New York
on December Is and 10, under the
sponsorship Of the Society for
Stability in Money and Banking
Inc, it was announced by DR.
Joseph E. Goodbar, president Of
the society.
The Society believes that none
tary and banking causes had
much to do with inducing the
development of the depression
and that adequate improvement In
banking, and in the laws that
govern banking, will go far in
the direction of a stable prosper
ity. Mr.. Goodbar said:
Improvement in money con-
troll and in banking practice is,
we believe, q step essential to
the prevention of such depres-
sion in the future as that from
which we are Just emerging.
If these improvements be post
pOned until q real boom devel-
ops, the psychology of the peO-
pie will then be opposed to
change-despite the fact, that
an unbalanced boom is merely
the forerunner of disaster.
"NOw, while the memory Of
depression is keen, Is the time
to study causes and results,
and to organize a definite pro-
gram that will prevent the fl
nancing Of a new, unstable
peak of prosperity, with its in
evitakle aftermath"
Realizing that many people re
gard economists as so welded K
their theories that they are un
able to agree on a practical plar
of improvement, DIR. Goodbar de
clared that the Economic Forum
would strive to eliminate such
differences in opinion by concen
trating on fundamental princi
pies, regarding which the forum
will attempt to make specific
recommendations.

Accelerated by a wave. Of Christ
mas gift buying and a heavy de-
mand for winter merchandise, re-
tail distribution this week jumped
6 to 10 per cent ahead Of last
week, according to Dun & Brad
street today.
In some lines, unit sales have
passed the 1929 level, although
dollar volume has yet to exceed
that record year. Advance over
last year for the country as q
whole was Is to 30 per cent.
Buying Is Broad
Retail sales were featured by
broadness, buying extending to
nearly all seasonal staples as
well as the Christmas items.
Sales of toys have nearly dou-
bled last years at some centers.
Sflverware and jewelry assumed

The gain over last week and

nations gains.
Wholesale Gains
In close alignment with the
wave of consumer buying, whole.
sale volume averaged about Is per
cent larger than in the 1885
period. Recorders built up the
greater proportion of the increase.
Particularly for staples scheduled
for markups. Unrelieved delivery
congestion at many factories and
further price advances have
awakened interest in spring mer,
