1897 PROSPEROUS YEAR FOR
CALIFONIA. BEST SINCE 1890

LOS ANGELES, Jan. Viewed
from the perspective of yearly per-
iodS. 1897 has been the most pros
porous and active year which Cali
fornia has enjoyed during the past
seven years, directors OF the Califor-
mia State Chamber of Commerce
were told at their meeting in Los
Angeles Friday.
The economic report, presented
by Harrison S. Robinson of Oak
land, vice-president. brought out
that the volume of gross income
from production by primary in
dustries increased about per cent
over 1896. and averaged about 70
per cent higher than in 1888.
Farm incomes increased on the
whole, and purchasing power was
further increased by substantial
gain in the average number en-
ployed and a marked increase in
payrolls, ranging from l2 to l8 per
cent over the previous year of 1896.
Viewed from the closer perspec-
tive Of monthly trends, general
business activity in California show
ed a sharp increase during the first
six months of 1887, levelled off
during the late summer, and de-
clined during the last quarter OF
the year.
Residential building construction
has shown the most marked cur
tailment. dropping from peak IN
September, when it was II per cent
of the 1926 average, to present levels
where it is between 35 and 40 per
cent of that average, and consider
ABLY below last year. Sales OF new
cars have also dropped below last
wear. and there has been been

several years, stayed out of baseball
