Business is gaining momentum at
a pace which indicates that ma
tional income for the final six
months Of this year will be about
$5,000,000,000 more than in the
first half.
That would be the largest sec
ond half expansion in more than
a decade, but the figure for the
full year will be we'll below those
of 1886 and 1887.
All major lines of business have
improved substantially from the
years lows and economists and
business men estimated today that
the final three months would be
marked by further recovery. In
creased industrial activity has
been reflected in employment.
Current estimates are that more
than one million persons have
gone back to work in the past five
months.
Economists for the Alexander
Hamilton Institute believe that
national income produced in the
last six months of 1888 may reach
$50, 600,O0O,O00, compared with
$25, 400,000,000 in the first six
months when the total was the
smallest since 1884. On that basis

NEW BUSINESS IMPETUS Is
EXPECTED TO BOOST NATIONS
INCOME BY 5 BILLION DOLLARS
United Press Survey Indicates That Largest Second
Half Year Business Expansion in More Than
Decade May Be Expected

the years total of $56,0O0.0O0,-
900 would compare with $69,817,-
100000 last year, highest since
the 1929 record of $8t,128,000,-
900 with $63.466,000,000 in 1886
and $55, 186,000,00O in 1885.
The showing for the final half
would be considerably better than
anticipated early this year.
In May this year, according to
figures of the National Industrial
Conference board, 11,362,000 per-
sons were without jobs. Since
then, more than a million persons
have gone back to work and pros
poets are for a continued rise.
Employment started its upswing
shortly after mid-year and by Au-
gust, the unemployed had been
cut to 10,590,000. September fig
.ures have not yet been compiled
but they are expected to show
relatively sharp gain. There is a
strong possibility, experts say, that
unemployment by the close of this
year may be cut to the 9,291,000
level which prevailed in the clos
ing month of 1885. In September,
1887, however, only 1851, 900 per-
sons were jobless, the best show

DALLAS, Tex, Oct. IL. Cup
Southwest oil states last night
faced a major oil war that may

force oil and gasoline prices to
the lowest level in decade.
Four major companies an
nounced price slashes yesterday

cries.
Texas fields were the hardest
hit in yesterdays slashes, the
price cut ranging from IL to ~
cents per barrel. Humble OIL and
