to provide him With the symphony The task of building the orchestra for the maestro was turned over tc Artur RodzinSki, vibrant leader ot the Cleveland Orchestra and fav- orite of Toscanini. Rodzinski'a trained ear listened to 700 musi- clans, picked 93. For the past five weeks he has been drilling them n NBC's huge studio on the eighth floor of Radio City.
 Director Rodzinski will turn over to Pierre Monteux for the opening 9o-minute concert. The French director will conduct the first three programs. Rodzinski will then return to the podium for the next three broadcasts and on Christmas night Toscanini will take over the direction for 10 con- certs. Rodzinski will again re- turn in the spring for the last seven broadcaStS.
 $75O,O00 Outlay
 This new radio orchestra, which is costing NEG about $750,000, is a hand-picked musical aggregation Key men from all the great sym phonies in the country were signed for places in 1t. RodzinslSi considers the string section the finest in the world. It Is headed by Mischa Mis- chakoff, former concert master of the Chicago Symphony and long hailed as the best first-chair man in the country. The other members are equally prominent for their symphonic work. The one girl in the orchestra is Laura Newell, harpist, who has played with the Detroit, Cleveland and Cincinnati Symphon. ieS.
 In auditioning talent for the sue per orchestra, Director Rodzinski discovered notable lack of first

and third trombonists, fourth horn and double bass players. He advises music students to study these brasses instead of the more popular solo instruments. He con- tends 1t is easier to make a living in the musical world with them.
 Everybody wants to be a Hei- fetz," Director Rodzinski said to the writer in explanation. Tt is amazing with the number of bands how little material there is in the brass instruments"
 Toscanini Eager for Debut
 Very few of the new men In the orchestra built for Toscan- ini have ever played under his direction, as Toscaninl,s old or- chestra, the New York Philhar- monic, was not raided for the new group. Many of the men have never played together before, but Rodzinsd found little difficulty in putting the orchestra into shape. He would spend three days a week in New York rehearsing them and the other four in Cleve- land with his own orchestra.
 How IS the new orchestral" Toscaniri asked him the moment they met in Italy last summer. Rodzinski's report nearly caused the maestro to drop everything and catch the first boat back to the States to lead his new sym. phony in rehearsal. ToScantnl won't hear the opening concert on the 18th as he IS enroute to Palestine to direct the symphony there, which is composed largely of German refugees. But, on Dec. 25 Toscanini will receive his mu- sical Christmas present when he faces the microphone with his many boys" and one girl"

COTTON EASES
IN QUIET TRADE

NEW YORK, Jan. IS G.N.S0.
The cotton market was quiet after
the opening, with all months
slightly easier.
Despite the Governments an
nouncement Of grade and freight
differentials on loan cotton, the
market has not seen any new in
quiry or any heavy liquidation.
Losses today were more part of
the trend induced by the dull mar
ket than a reaction to this new
development.
There was some commission
house and Wall Street liquidation
in the near months. The South
and New Orleans sold moderately
From the Continent and Liverpool
came a few buying orders, al
though Liverpool prices were COM
paratively lower. Trade interest
centered in the near months.

FREIGHT LOADS
DECLINE SEEN
FORQUARTER

For the first quarter Of 1887, the
shippers boards have made a
rather peSSimistic forecast OF
freight car loadings, according to
the Alexander Hamilton Institute.
While they anticipate 90 per
cent increase over the volume in
the first quarter Of last year, this
gain will be considerably smaller
than the 17.9 per cent gain over
a year ago, which occurred in the
quarter just ended. Moreover,
their forecast indicates q severe
slump from the fourth quarter OF
1896. The decrease will amount to
1877 per cent, the Institute said,
adding:
"WhiIe some seasonal decrease
Is usual, such a decrease as the
one forecast ranks with the de-
creaseS which occurred in the
years when business was plung-
ing into the depression. A year
ago, the decrease from the
fourth to the first quarter
amounted to only 81 per cent,
while In the two preceding years
Of the recovery movement, load
ingS actually showed slight In
creaSes.
"The forecast for the current
quarter probably will not be far
wrong, however; it is based on
the expectation that shipments
of farm products will be smaller
than q year ago and will offset
to a considerable extent prOSpec-
tive gains over a year ago in
shipments Of industrial products
such as automobiles and steel.
There is little question that ship
ments of farm products will be
curtailed in view of last years
severe drought. In fact. the rail-
roads will feel the effects of the
drought throughout most of the
current year. Even though the
1887 harvest proves to be larger
than that of 1886. this will not
be reflected in larger shipments
of livestock products until 1885,"
The agricultural situation means
that if car loadingS for the full
year 1887 are to extend the upward
movement of the past four years
industrial activity must show
sufficient increase over the 1886
rate to offset the curtailment OF
the supply of farm products
While such an outcome is in pros
pect for the first quarter it is
questionable whether such good
results will be shown during the
remainder of the year in view OF
the possibility of some recession
in Manufacturing activity later on
it was pointed out. 1t would not
be surprising if car loadings for
the full year of 1887 showed little
if any gain over the 1886 volume
or even showed some decrease, the
Institute added.

.UTILITY,COPPER
STOCKS LEAD
DECLINE
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Jan. Is G.N.S0 .
The stock market was generally
easier today. Utilities and coppers
were among the weakest groups,
with steels, rails and motors also
laggard.
Louisville Gas and Electric and
Consolidated Edison each slumped
more than 2 points. Kennecott
declined over a point and Ana
conda almost as much.
Losses in the motors were gen.
orally small and trading was dull.
Steels, with the exception Of U. S.
Steel, limited losses to small frac-
tionS. Big steel si:2ped more than
a point at one time.
Standard Oil of New Jersey and
Phillips Petroleum climbed into
new high ground to lead oils
against the downward trend.
Penn-Dixie Cement, Thompson
Starrett and Long Bell Lumber
also were at new tops, each gain
ing about a point at levels between
10 and II.
Aviations were slightly i'm
proved. Farm implements, rubberS
and amusements were easier.
Bonds were irregular, with rail
liens soft.

ON CAPITAL
BUSINESS

With a short week due to the
inaugural holiday and unfavorable
weather conditions, department
store sales in Washington fell liz
per cent below the previous week,
and 3.5 per cent under the same
week year ago, according to the
Commerce Department.
Hotel and restaurant business in
the Capital was greatly stimulated
by Inauguration activities.
Bank clearingS totaled $40, no.
328, compared with $24,902,985 in
the previous week and $21, ,472,047
for the corresponding week in
1896. The value Of building per-
mits issued during the week was
only $172,500, much lower than IN
the previous week. The impetus
Of inaugural crowds, however,
pushed attendance at the Wash
ington Monument up to 9,719 for
the week, compared with 1921 a
week ago and 1859 during the cor
responding week last year, the
Monument being kept open two
nights to accommodate visitors.
Weather continued to play the
dominant role in retail activities
in other parts of the fifth district
especially in Baltimore. Abnorm-
ally high temperatures, as well as
the torrential rains, slowed down
demand. Baltimore, however, re-

/ AD BUDGETS

The 1887 advertising budgets Of
10 major American corporations,
with assets totaling more than
so billion dollars, will range from
10 per cent to SO per cent higher
than for 1896. This was revealed
in a tabulation of replies to a
questionnaire sent to the corpora
tionS by Col. Benjamin F. Castle,
vice president of Administrative
and Research Corporation.
Without exception, officials an.
swering the QUESTIONABLE ex-
pressed the conviction that the
present undiStributed profits tax
should be revised drastically to
eliminate a penalty on plant ex-
pansion to allow the payment of
corporate Indebtedness, a report
from this firm said. A majority
Of replies expressed the belief
that the present form of the
social security act should also be
revised in the near future.
It was noted, however, that the
general tone Of 1887 responses, as
contrasted with 1885, revealed a
spirit of greater cooperation with
the present Administration. Hith-
erto disposed to criticize political
experimenting" business leaders
now seem to feel that a closer
unity between big business and
government would benefit the for.
mer and help the latter avoid mis-
takes.

HIGHER PRICES
AND PAY SEEN

A boost in prices and wages, and
shortages of raw materials and
manufactured goods, are forecast
by the Guaranty Trust Company.
The forecasts are based upon a
study Of trade trends, just made
public.
The Guaranty, which canvasSed
opinions of a group of business
concerns on the trade outlook,
says:
"The weight Of opinion among
the firms responding to the in
quiry seems to be that a general
rise in values is in prospect, in
Guiding wages as well as prices
of raw materials and manufac-
tured products. There also is a
likelihood of shortages in some
raw-material markets and Of de-
layed deliveries Of some raw

ever, may be expected to improve
with the end of the maritime strike
on the Pacific Coast" says the
company. The inquiry was made
prior to the outbreak Of the strike
in the automobile industry. The
trust company adds:
"The general picture pre-
sented by this limited sample Of
business opinion is fairly typical
of the situation that ordinarily
exists during the earlier stages
of a period of business expan.
sion. Conditions are mainly
favorable, except in cases where
special obstacles are present or
where some branches have not
yet become adjusted to the &C
celerated tempo of business.
"The unsOund features that
commonly appear in the later
stages of expansion have not
yet had time to develop, or at
any rate to become general.
"The only serious weakness
suggested by the reports Is in
the labor outlook. To a certain
extent, this also is typical Of
periods of business recovery"
