The pulse of the Nations industry

The Associated Press index Of in

While some STRINGS of improve

would be far from accurate to state
that these regional surveys were in
dicative of definite reversal of form
in the trends of trade" the Depart

Some improvement in automobile sales
led steel men to believe the motor in

more steel shortly.
Railroad and construction industry
demand for steel remained at low ebb.
Experts said railroads were awaiting
a decision from the Interstate Com
merce commission on their plea for
nlgher rates before stepping up to the
steel counter. A footnote on the CON-
dltions in the building industry was
the fact structural steel contracts for
the week were lowest since mid
October.
Auto Production Jumps.
Automobile assembly lines turned
out $3.50 units in the week just ended,
compared with SLAB the previous

said. The survey noted somewhat
more optimistic attitude in the in

The motor trade had the word of
William Knudsen, president of Gen.

business had improved somewhat in

view on visits with major automobile
distributors in II cities.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. Feb 12.-In its
weekly summary of the general busi-
ness situation, the Standard Statistics
Co. of New York currently comments
as follows:
"The basic readjustments in the
economic structure which alone can
pave the way for subsequent broad re-
covery in industrial volumes and earn
ings are, as yet, making comparatively
slow progress. 1t is significant. how
ever. that each succeeding week finds
further readjustments completed.
Business sentiment is, of course,
still highly confused, particularly by
the continuing uncertainty of Gov
ernment policies, but the downward
spiral of industrial operations appears
to have been definitely arrested, and
at least modest upturn in the major
industries is now in the making.
There is little in the business situa-
tion to suggest that any widespread
recovery in either volume or earnings
will develop over the next few months.
Indeed, the risk of another temporary
setback in the early summer must
still be recognized. Nevertheless, the
hopeless attitude which business men
were expressing only few weeks ago
is giving way to definitely more con-
structive thinking.
Early tabulations of 1887 earnings
reports are fully in line with previous
expectations that conservative &C
counting methods would be adopted
generally in making up the 1897
statements and that full year earnings
would make far less favorable COM
parison with those of 1896 than had
the nine months figures"
