By A, A. PATTON,

Associated Press Statistician.

ASSOCIATED PreSS StAtlStlclAh.
NEW YORK, Feb. THE contra
seasonal decline in railroad freight
carloadings during the week ended
January 20 carried this barometer Of
industrial conditions to the lowest
level since September. 1885.
The slump in loedings started
months before business generally. or
the stock market, gave any indication
the l935-l937 boom had run its
course
After adjustment for seasonal fac
tors, miscellaneous freight-the prin-
cipal industrial classification. includ-
ing such items as petroleum. steel, au-
tomobiles and parts. etc.-hit top at
approximately the same time, and has
since dropped 80 per cent.
In this connection it is noted the
Associated Press industrial activity in
dex declined roughly IS per cent from
its recovery peak in the spring Of
1897.
The fact freight shipments turned
down almost six months before the
peak in industrial output was reached
is said by some analysts to mean con-
sumner demand began to weaken at the
turn OF 1886. while production was
maintained on the basis of forward
orders placed to avoid expected higher
costs. That there is some element Of
truth in this theory. they say, is in
dicated by the heavy inventories built
up during the early part of 1897 as a
result of activity outstripping demand.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. Feb. TN its weekly
summary Of the general business situa-
ton the Standard Statistics Co. Of
New York currently comments as fol-
lows:
Business activity in January was
about in line with earlier expectations.
Following a precipitous drop in in
dustrial production in each Of the final
four months of 1887, a general level
ing oil was witnessed last month, with
further recessions In some lines Offset
by moderate improvement in others
The Standard Statistics Co. index of
industrial production for January is
estimated at around 70.5 corrected
for seasonal variation, 1926 equals
1000. This compares with 1872 for
December, but represents a decline
Of around 80 per cent in five months
1T is probable that modest i'm
provement will be witnessed this
month and in March, but it is un-
likely that the index for the first
quarter as whole will average much
II any, more than $50, or roughly 25
per cent below the first quarter of
1887. In short. while there are signs
that the business recession has been
halted, at least temporarily, the i'm
provement in prospect for the next
few months is not particularly en-
couraging and certainly will not be
Suflcient to cause q marked reduction
In unemployment
"A number of important labor
agreements between the c. I. o. and
industry come up for discussion this
month and next. Negotiations be-
tween the United States Steel Corp.
and the Steel Workers Organizing
Committee and the policy adopted
by the corporation will probably have
an important influence on the out
come of other negotiations in the
steel as well as other industries.
Despite reports to the contrary,
downward wage adjustments have
been quietly made in a number of
leading lines. For example, one large
industry. which is strongly unionized,
has been able to make two reductions
in the past several months with virtu-
ally no opposition by the labor leaders.
An independent steel company re-
Gently cut all wages 20 per cent, which
may be a straw in the wind. Many
companies have already returned to
. piece-work basis. Others are re-
ducing labor expense by discharging
inefncient workers in the lower wage
brackets and replacing these with
workers formerly in the higher
brackets.
While the maintenance of high
wages is socially desirable, they are
not economically feasible when other
cost and demand factors are we'll out
OF line. 1t is generally recognized
that the maintenance of wages in 1880
merely prolonged the readjustment
process and probably delayed the later
recovery. Because of the financial
drains Of the past depression and be-
cause Of the materially heavier tax
burdens. industry is not in a position
to weather a prolonged period of slack
demand and high wages"
