BUSINESS LULL
IS SEEN AHEAD
Slump Under Way in Nearly
Every Direction, Says
Berens Bureau.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-Assuming
that the panic stage of the stock
market has passed, what about busi-
ness?
This important question is discussed
Iii the weekly bulletin of the Berens
Financial News Bureau. The chances
are. says the bureau in copyrighted
article, that business will grow pro-
gressively worse"
The bureau points out that "it is
not our job to paint an exaggerated,
ugly picture any more than it Is our
job to paint an unduly optimistic pic
ture at any time. We merely report
the facts, the trend in all truthful
ness, and leave 1t up to our friends to
make their own conclusions.
THE slump is already under way
In almost every direction. Thousands
of men are being layed of in the steel
industry and many thousands more
would be layed off except for the
share-the-work policy Of many COM
panies. The injury to purchasing
power of the public by reason of the
market panic has been too severe not
to show itself in business.
THE facts today are that in many
lines of business, sales are dropping
rapidly. Many corporations are
caught with huge inventories, as re-
peatedly reported in previous bulle-
tins This means that profit margins
will be sharply curtailed and. in many
instances, entirely erased. The net
result, too. will be to clog business
with merchandise pressing for sale.
This condition probably will pre-
vail at least for a while, even if the
stock market enjoys a substantial re-
covery from the panic depths. In
1929, the last period comparable to
today, the stock market in the last
month and half, and even into the
early months of 1880. had tre-
mendous recovery. But business
meanwhile slunped persistently in the
initial stages of the long depression.
Since the Government at Washing
ton presently discounts the importance
Of the stock market. it probably will
take no broad steps of stimulating
character until it is convinced that
legitimate business, too. is suffering
The Government will measure business
mostly by unemployment. The chances
are that there will be considerably
more unemployment in the near fu-
ture."

Steel ingot operations have declined

Duplicating Official Engraving, but It's

graph machine. She mailed this queer
money-to cover an order-to a big
chain store in Kansas City.
ONLY few weeks ago a daily
newspaper in a nearby State pub
lished reproduction of new coun-
terfeit $40 bill to illustrate a news
item warning its readers against
counterfeiting. The very next day Sc
cret Service men pounced on a man
for passing one Of these newspaper
illustrations-and getting away with
it. He had cut out the pictures,
pasted face and back together, and
had succeeded in negotiating an OBJ
viously poor reproduction of a coun-
terfeit note. Incidentally reproduc-
ton of United States currency in any
manner is illegal So the newspaper
itself was liable for action.
Secret Service agents develop a keen
sense of admiration for steel-engraved
subjects. On the other hand, they
have a profound contempt for products
that come from modern duplicating
devices. These lack the artistic touch.
Veterans in the service almost in
stantly can. detect the work of a new
counterfeiter. They can tell at first
glance the handiwork of an ex-coun-
terfeiter returned to his former in
dustry
Not long ago Eastern cities were
flooded with a deceptive counterfeit
$40 Federal Reserve note For a while,
this note had the Secret Service men
on their mettle. They were about to
list it as the work of an unknown.
Then some of the old heads got to-
gether. They subjected the counter
felt to intensive analysis. Immediately
they concluded it to be the contribu-
ton Of two men who had served term
in Atlanta Penitentiary following
their arrest and conviction in Pitts
burgh. The whereabouts of one man
was known-Secret Service men trailed
him but were unable to prove that
he was engaged in an illegitimate
occupation. Finally, the break came.
A parcel post package, intended for
the suspect, was found to contain a
supply VI Vic ACW SOuAltNAlGlt AlOliCy.
The counterfeits were secreted in
pair Of soiled overalls shipped from
the Pacific Coast. Apprehended, this
man confessed his guilt and named his
former partner as the printer and
engraver. Agents then arrested the
partner and seized complete coun-
terfeiting plant in shack high up
in the hills near Seattle.
"The counterfeiter," Mr.. Baber says,
"is wholly without conscience. He
preconceives his every act His delib-
Grafton is contributory factor in
whatever success he achieves In pass
ing notes" -
