INCREASE
IN TIRE SALES
FOR THIS YEAR.
Truck Business Factor,
0'NeiI Says

Summarizing the year'Sactivity
and the outlook for 1898, Presi
dent W. O'Neil. Of the General
Tire and Rubber Company, stated
IN the rubber industry. prob
ably more tires will be sold
through tire dealers this year than
in the year just EAST, because the
tire replacement demand is bound
to be greater. Not quite so many
new cars will be sold next year as
this year.
IN the last three years, there
was greatly increased motor car
production and nearly all Of those
cars are now ready for new tires.
The tremendous development
in motor truck transportation is
one of the most important factors
in the growth Of our business, as
we'll as throughout the industry.
In 1887. more than 100000 new
trucks were sold, an increase Of
so, 900 trucks over the total mum
ber sold in 1895. It is practically
certain that more trucks will be
sold in 1888 than were sold in
1857.
Trucks are bought to run and
are the last type of transporta-
tion tn be allowed to stand idle,
so it is likely that more trucks
will be used in 1888 than ever be-
fore.
In the depths of the other re.
cent depression. our company's
dollar sales fell off. but not our
unit sales. Our dollar sales de,
creased then because the cost Of
raw materials dropped radically
but that is not true today. and we
look for no falling off in dollar
sales"
The Washington times., 1938-01-03

We think the first quarter of
l93s will oe somewhat below the
last quarter Of 1887. We think
the second quarter will show an
Improvement. the third quarter
viii be equal TO a year ago, and
the last quarter we believe will
show a substantial improvement
over the last quarter of this year,
The logic oenind this opinion
is based on what has apparently
been one of the important causes
of the present recession. The
1897 difficulty vas largely due to
TIE old story Of Beating the
gun" Every business man in
every field foresaw rapidly rising
prices due to the rapidly rising
labor and material costs. Natural
", he hedged against an advance.
It looked like the same sort of
set up as when the NRA came in
1888 In 1888 everybody tried to
beat the gun" and 1t worked out
very nicely. In retailing it held
tke sharp advance in price down
tc tie consumer and softened the
rapid rise.
Apparently. the logical thing to
do last spring was to follow the
same procedure, but this lime it
die not work because the dull
period which followed this lead

count of the prevailing high
prices. Gold remained at $35 per
ounce through the year. Produc.
tion again increased by about
100000 ounces for the fourth sue
cesSive year. giving a total yield
of about 4,700,000 ounces. Silver
production was greatly increased,
in anticipation of the end of the
present silver purchase agreement.
All newly mined metal produced
up to midnight of December 81,
is eligible for sale to the Govern,
ment at domestic price of TIC per
ounce. This has stimulated pro
duction. which is estimated at
69,700,000 ounces for the year, ap-
proximately 100000 ounces more
than in 1886, and the largest pro.
duction in the past 20 years with
the exception of 1923 when the
Pittman Act was in effect.
The year closes on a lower level
of production and prices for non.
ferrous metals than prevailed in
January-a condition that is likely
to continue into the early part Of
1888.

The 1897 stock market and bust.
ness decline will be recorded as
one of the most precipitous in his.
tory. The market decline started
in the early part Of the year, first,
in United States Government and
prime corporate obligations, then
in second grade bonds and stocks.
AS usual, the market discounted
well in advance the business de.
cline which we are now witnessing.
The bull market. which. culmt,
mated in March, started in 1882.
Tne time element and the percent.
age of advance in the Dow-Jones
industrial average, from 41.22 in
July 1882, to 194.40 in March,
1897. constituted a complete major
bull market of more than average
proportions.
The present bear market. which
started in March of this year, has
been one of the sharpeSt on record.
The stock market declined approx.
imately A per cent in the Dow.
Jones industrial average IN q few
months.
Fundamentally, the future holds
bright prospects. Credit is plenti,
I'll! at low rates of interest and
virtually every element of recov-
cry is present, save confidence.
With evidence of the Administra-
tlcn turning to the right, / think
business in 1888 will start, to en-
10Y confidence which will lead to
a sound business recovery. Hence,
in my opinion. the investment and
che stock market will discount
business improvement months in
advance; in fact, U. S. Govern.
ment and high grade corporate
obligations have already recorded
substantial gains, which in time
WI be followed by improvement
in second grade bonds and in the
stock market.

BANK STOCKS
IN SMALL DROP

New York city bank and insur-
ance stock markets in 1897 were
not immune from the general
downward trend in securities, Col.
oliver J. Troster. of Holt, Rose g.
TroSter, states in his annual re-
view. Declines of about 80 per
cent in leading bank stocks and
"a per cent in insurance stocks
were incurred.
These declines appear rela-
lively small compared with gen.
eral markets." Colonel Troster
comments, adding that bank and
insurance stocks had not appre-
ciated as vigorously in the strong
Spring upturn.
AN encouraging feature Of the
years trading" Colonel Troster
notes, "was the absence of large
supplies of stock on the declines,
which creates the interesting pos
sibility Of rapid recovery

the experience of building up de-
pleted inventories. Again the
probabilities are that such pur.
chases will be at rising prices. for
while one may anticipate pressure
for lower prices, there are offset

A year ago it seemed to me res
sonably certain that a new ele
ment was likely to influence 1887
business, this element consisting
of a projected boom control
then already becoming visible.
1t is now apparent that the
results of such control" were
more like those obtained with an
emergency brake and far removed
from the successful operation
which persuasive, careful ten
ton to a highly sensitive and deli.
cate mechanism might have
achieved. The cause is to be
sought in other extraneovs influ-
ences which also operated stimuli.
taneously and among which politi'
cal and labor factors are histori
cally prominent.
If the problem for 1888 may be
similarly viewed, it will be found
to require on honest and sincere
cooperation for recovery" Signs
are not lacking that important re-
suits in this direction are ahead.
Clear thinking in many fields is
providing the necessary diagnosis
which is half the battle" for
business restoration.
Among relatively strong factors
in the situation should be listed
the following:
The United States is at peace
with the world. It has no over
inflated private credit bubble" to
deflate; the Government debt on
the other hand is likely to be
with US for some time and the
full effects OF its recent increase
have yet to be witnessed in the
general scale Of values.
There has not been a period OF
industrial over-expansion or ex-
cessive stimulation of markets.
The consumer is to some extent
in debt, but he always will be
and while he has, as an employe,
been somewhat inflated as to
wages, the danger in this direction
is not so great but that an in.
creased efficiency can effect a
cure.
Business has been hampered,
possibly even "Shackled." by un-
wise taxation, but the trend is
now probably in the opposite direc.
ton. The time for further highly
aggressive attacks on business and
constitutional fundamentals has
definitely passed. Confronted oy
an extension of more direct taxa
ion, the smaller consumer. .employe
will be increasingly willing to call
a halt on unbridled governmental
spending. These trends will prob.
ably grow in popular conception
as 1888 progresses.
If one can find sound basis in
such fundamentals, should be pre-
pared to anticipate a considerable
restoration of values. To the ex-
tent that budget balance cannot
Immediately be foreseen, the stu
alton resembles a slow but certain
drag" toward one form OF infla.
ton or another.

Industry's requirements for

that they cannot long go uncared

greater pace and when our posi-.

higher up the ladder.
When these excess stocks are
