AlB spell III CIle DdSlC upward GfeIlQI Z
My answer is that we are expert
encing only a breathing spell. l
believe that neither the period of
prosperity nor the bull market has
eliminated.
Naturally those who are upset
and gloomy can trot out an i'm
posing array of reasons for their
pessimism such as the following:
Ten Unfavorable Trends
l. Textile, building, and steel in
dustrieS are all slowing down. Home
building has even fallen below
year ago for the first time during
the recovery. Steel orders are be-
ing accepted today for only six
weeks delivery against twenty-five
weeks delivery last March.
Commodity prices have dipped
5 per cent since last March. Copper
is down from 18 to Ia cents per
pound; cotton from 13 to 8 cents;
and rubber from 81 to 18 cents.
ForWard-buying last spring has cut
into current demand and injured
prices.
3. The railroads are buying little
equipment. These big customers of
steel, lumber, and other heavy ma
terials are "out of the market. Not
a single new locomotive has been
ordered since July /. CarloadingS
and net income are both lower than
expected.
4. Retail sales are slowing up.
While dollar sales are above the
1886 level, unit sales have dropped
below Consumers so heavily stock
ed up last spring that they are
now resisting the 10 per cent jump
in retail prices.
5. New corn is selling at only
SIS cents a bushel on the farm and
oats for only 26 cents. Millions
of bushels of Argentine wheat are
ready for export at 25 cents per
bushel less than our. domestic price.
Last year farmers bought heavily
of goods and equipment on time
for which they must now pay.
6. During the past two year the
number of concerns going into
bankruptcy has been at the lowest
level in history; but commercial
failures are now increasing.
7. Profit margins are steadily
heavier taxes have pushed oper-
ating expenses. Selling prices are
being held down by consumer re-
sistance. Earnings for the third
quarter will reflect this squeeze.
8. From March, 1888 to March,
1886, bank deposits increased $16,-
000,000,000. The tide has now turned.
There has been a $4,000 100000 drop
in deposits since the beginning of
the year.
g. Federal Budget problems seem
to defy solution. Despite terrific
taxes, federal receipts will fall far
short of expenses; while politicians
continue to block economies.
10. Confidence is at lowest ebb
in three years. Threats Of further
labor troubles, martial music in
Europe and Asia, and fear of a
new depression are making busi-
ness men pull in their necks like
turtles.
Now turn these beariSh trends
around and look at heir optimistic
side.
Ten Optimistic Factors
l. The current slowing down of
the textile and steel industries is
healthy. 1t will Keep inventories
in line with demand. Lower vol
umes should make labor and ma
terials concerns realize that un-
reasonable wages and prices defeat
their own purpose.
2. The commodity price drop is
also basically sound. Prices last
spring were out of line with de-
mand. Fear of general labor
strike caused too much forward
buying and too sharp rise in
prices. The present shake-out is
good for business.
