The rising trend of commodity prices and the fact that fears
of labor difficulties tend to stimulate ORDERS both lead to the
same conclusion.
Last week. steel production reacted less than usual on
of the holiday. All indications point to prompt
resumption of the preceding operating rate around 80
of capacity It generally agreed that steel mills have
booked sufficient keep them running full blast
until the end of January Meanwhile, railway buying
for repairs and additions sustained buying of sheets
and strips by automobile producers The demand for tin
plate has increased sharply By the end Of January orders
for structural steel should begin to pick up
Incidentally note that the price of steel scrap has risen
again. and iron has been marked another 50 cents
ton for delivery after January l.
The automobile industry, while still under cloud the
result of strike possibilities looks better Orders have
been heavy toward the end the week strikes
settled Thus shutdown the Ford plant prevented
The main point however, that it probable
that the various labor troubles affecting this industry be
settled by compromise
Another unusually active industry continues to hold its
pacecotton manufacturing Moreover the volume of untitled
orders for print CLOTH etc. is large that considerable
reaction is in early prospect.
One of the most encouraging facts is the way railway car
oadngs holding better than usual for the To
this add the large physical volume of retail trade
Retail considerably lower than in 1929 and when
allowance made for that probable that retail trans
actions by weight number closely approximate 1929 levels
Along with the Improvement in business activity has
rise in wholesale commodity prices is usual cycca
The gain in prices pronounced than any
which has occurred since the big jump in 1933
This the sures indication that the demand for goods has
been freed by the removal of uncertainties.
Last week. advances occurred in wheat flour, hogs

Corn rosin, tin and silk were little lower.
