RADIO FIRMS CUT /
SALES ESTIMATES
1887 Volume Not Expected
to Gain More Than 10
Per Cent.
By J. @. DONLEY.

special DfspAtcn 70 The Star.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9-There has
been q decided slowing down in sales
OF radio sets since early fall and, al
though the Christmas season, with De-
oember contributing almost one-flfth
OF the annual sales, lies ahead, OBJ
servers In the industry are scaling
down early forecasts Of sales totals for
1897.
Early this year predictions were
made that sales of receivers would
reach the 100000 mark for the first
time, as compared with the previous
peak Of 8,248,753 receivers made In
1888. Now, according to Radio today,
1887 sales are not likely to run more
than 10 per cent over 1885, with 4
possible total Of around 100000.
Two strong influences working for
higher set sales last autumn are lack
ing this year-the soldier bonus and
the national election. Another factor
has been the trend toward higher re-
tail distribution in the summer
months. stimulated by improvement
OF facilities for summer transmits
sion and reception, and, this year,
that trend was accentuated by the
earlier than usual introduction Of the
popular new models with electric tun-
ing gadgets.
Rush Came In July.
AS it happened, the radio industry
ate good slice of its autumn sales
cake in July this year, and. when
prices we're advanced in August, sales
fell of close to the 1885 figure. In
September reports from some districts
indicated sales decline below COM
parable 1885 levels.
When inventories started to pile In.
many manufacturers lowered their
production schedules as early as Au-
gust, and that trend toward curtail-
ment was extended in September. But
October brought some pickup in prep
aration for heavier December deliv-
cries. An exception to curtailed pro-
duction in early fall is found In fac
tories producing automobile radios.
but 1t Is said that the larger part of
such production this year Is being
shipped to automobile makers for fac
tory installation or for distribution to
dealers as optional equipment.
While the pace of receiving set sales
slowed down in the third quarter of
this year, all reports point to full
steam ahead at the broadcasting
studios
National advertising broadcasts for
the first nine months of this year set
new all-tin1e high record at above
s50,000,000, which is more than %
per cent over the comparable period
year ago.
Records Popular.
But in the sales of receiving sets
there is one pronounced trend which
does not set so well with the COM
mercial program originators. That is
the surprisingly rapid comeback of
disc records into wide popularity.
One of the reasons for the growing
demand for facilities which will per-
init the home audience to select its
own program Is the dissatisfaction of
many listeners peeved by the pepper
ing Of sponsored programs with high
pressure commercials" IN part, of
course. it is also due to the improved
rendering Of disc selections through
the radio-phonosraph combinations.
Orders for such combinations for
the Christmas selling season have
been unusually heavy this year.
