MALONEY AC T.
Investment Group Sets
Meeting for Oct. rs
BY RICHARD R. BAKER, JR.


The governing committee and
advisory council of the Investment
Bankers Conference. Inc, meets
October 25 to hear a report of its
special committee on the Maloney
act.
Nevil Ford. Of the First Boston
Corporation, is chairman OF the
committee, appointed some time
ago to study the Maloney amend
mentS to the securities exchange
act The committees report is
ready for presentation to the gov
erning group and its contents will
not be revealed in advance Of Oc-
tober Is.
Ell PASO BONDS
An issue of $491 900 city OF
Ell Paso CTexO bonds has been
awarded a large banking group
and may appear soon on the local
markets. The winning syndicate
paid 10023 for a combination OF
S244,000 3As and $247,0O0 Of IS,
representing an interest cost to
the city of 3.054 per cent. The
respective issues yield from 2.9O
to $40 per cent and maturities
range from 1889 to 1858.
Market transactions in Govern
ment securities for Treasury in
vestment accounts in September,
1888. resulted in net purchases of
$38.48l 900. it has been reported
by Secretary of Treasury Morgen-
thau.
INSURANCE LOANS
Repayment of loans by borrow
ers on their life insurance policies
turned upward in the third quar-
ter of 1898, after running IS per
cent behind for the first six
months of the year. according to
the nine-month report of the
Northwestern National Life In
surance Company.
Total policy loans of the COM
pany showed an increase to So
613,591.13 as of September 80,
1888, compared with $685.
586.73 the same date a year
ago, which is only about half the
ratio of increase in policy reserves
over the same period. In the same
time, however, the size of the in
dividual loan outstanding has
climbed to $347.73, substantially
larger than a year ago. when the
average borrowers obligation on
his policy was $316.35.

America. But he attaches i'm

LEWIS LOSING GRIP
The executive in charge of labor
relations for one of the country'S
largest industrial corporations
tells me that John L. Lewis has
lost much of his grip upon CIO

UPWARD TREND
IN SALES LIKELY,
BUSINESS TOLD
Will Continue Into '39,
Expert Declares

WELLESLEY, Mass, Oct. Ia
GN.S0-"The trend is definitely
upward" Henry H. Stafford, com
modify expert, told the twenty.
fifth annual National Business
Conference at BabSon Park today
Sales in many lines will re-
giSter greater than seasonal
gains-some passing 1897 figures
this fall" he predicted.
The rise in sales is not a
flash in the pan-rather it is
an upward trend which, allow
ing for seasonal variations,
should carry well into 1884"
AUTO SALES GAIN
The automobile industry, he
said, is recovering. Production is
being stepped up on 1889 models
and sales of new and used cars
are making a satisfactory showing
The year 1889 promises to be a
rosy period for stockholders in
general. declared H. c. Baldwin,
investment expert. He said:
In this climb ahead of us, it
is now apparent that the build
ing industry and it's allies will
lead the upSwing through this
fall and possibly most of next
year. The automobile industry
will not be the dominating
leader as on so many previous
swings"
BABSON SEES WAR
Roger w. BabSon, StatiStician,
just returned from Europe, told
the conference three possibilities
in the immediate future
of Europe-a new era of prosper
ity, world war, or a war between
Germany and. Russia.
He said he leaned toward the
possibility of a Russo German war.

There is Scant likelihood that

WANT NO WAR
The settlement probably will be
a compromise, meaning a more
modest wage cut than the is per
cent asked by the railroads.
Steel wages may be the next to
reach newspaper front pages. Ter
rifle competition having brought
a $4a-ton reduction in important
steel products (SheetS) and the
whole tendency being for rival
companies to go after tonnage

ton is that efforts will be made to

MOTOR MEN CAUTIOUS

Motor manufacturers are reluc-
tant to swell their labor forces in
order to fill promptly the rush
orders coming from dealers for
new models. Their desire is to
give adequate employment to
those already on their pay rolls.
Then, if and when demand dimin-
ished following the stocking up of
dealers, work hours could be cur
tailed.
Union leaders want more men
taken on rather than any length
ening of the 32-hour work-week.
No work, no dues collectable.

But politics with always.

CHRISTMAS RUSH PROVES RAIN
NEEDN'T HINDER VALLEY BUYING

Perhaps valley shoppers realize, now, that shopping
during a rain isn't impossible, after all During the
recent rainy days Christmas shoppers went right on
shopping though the weather was just as bright and
sunny as usual. Christmas gifts had to be purchased
and PLACED in the mail in order to reach their desna-
ons in time for the holiday. -
AS a matter of fact shopping by residents OF the
towns and those residing in the country who live ad-
acent paved graveed roads should go on as usual
whether pressure is exerted by the need Tor Christmas
buyng Valley towns have arcades over the SIDE
walks throughout the business districts; something
which can be in other part OF the country IL
seems strange that in the very towns where shopping
comfort assured matter what the weather IS DONG
peope for some unknown usually dare not ven
ture downtown if it is raining, while residents OF COM
mn;tios elsewhere without provisions for comfort pay
it no heed whatever ,
It is tr be hoped that valley folks realize now, that
thev can come downtown and fill their needs in perfect

Betterment Of Few
Industries Will
Bolster Business

Some insight into the present
outlook for business in general is
given in the December monthly
bank letter, published by the Ma
tonal City Bank of New York:
Business sentiment has strength
ened as the rise has proceeded, but
no one would say that the doubts
as TO the extent and duration of
the recovery have been wholly
thrown Off or that the way is clear
for sharp revival of new enter
prise. The chief need now, if busi-
ness is to keep moving ahead, Is
improvement in the industries
which thus far have been back
ward, and this is precisely where
the outlook is uncertain and opin-
ions divided. There is no limit TO
the business that can be carried
on in this country, short of the
limit imposed by productive capa-
city, if all the industries are going
along and supporting each other,
But obviously depression in any
lone reduces the market for all.
The automobile industry is making
a strong showing this Fall, but not
as strong as it would if the rail
ways, the machinery and heavy
equipment manufacturers, factory
and commercial building, foreign
trade, and the other relatively de-
pressed occupations were giving
more employment to people who
undoubtedly would like to buy auto
mobiles. The textile and apparel
industries are doing better than
at this time last year, but of course
the unemployment in the areas
mentioned limits the ability to buy
clothing, except as derived from
relief payments.
The essence of the situation is
that automobiles, apparel house
hold equipment, and consumer
goods industries and services gener-
ally are in a circle where each is
providing better business for the
others; residential building and
public works have joined in the
Improvement; and all these things
together are giving support to the
producers of steel and other met
ais If the capital goods industries
can be brought into the circle, the
limit of the rise is far from reached.
Conversely, it is recognized that
a flattening out will be inevitable
unless they are included"
