POINTS TO SPREAD
|. OF CONSERVATISM
Brookmire Service Finds
Confidence Improved
by Steady Drift.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

NEW YORK, March 22.--Signif1-
cant and perhaps far-reaching change,
are discernibie in Washington. Ev-
dence accumulates of persistent
trend toward conservatism in govern
ment. according to Brookmire Eco
nomic Service.
Not only in Washington, but what
is more important in the country at
large the prevailing temper is increas-
1ngly IN favor of (a) modifying earlier
reform attempts; (b) opposing further
efforts to regulate everything from
Washington and to compete with pri-
Vate business; (c) giving the right of
way to measures for replacing OBJ
stacles and uncertainties With steps
to restore confidence and spur re-
covery.
Starting with the Supreme Court
reform plan, through such revealing
developments as those in connection
with T. v. A.. the meeting of little
business mem in Washington and the
recent election in Seattle, a train of
events important to underlying con-
fldence has been unfolding.
Development of this basic trend
together with response of Congress
to pressure to spur recovery by such
means as the housing bill and in
Sistence on modification of undistrib-
uted profits and capital gains tax car
ries important potentialitles. They are
IN the direction of strengthening the
proht incentive which is at the root
OF enterprise and should help clear
the way for expansion in capital goods
industries so essential to prosperity.

EARLY LAMB PRICES
EXPECTED TO BE LOWER

Larger supplies of spring lambs for
marketing from April through June
but lower price average than for
these months last year is expected by
the Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
Consumer demand for meats is weaker
this year than last, it was stated.
Lower prices of wool and pelts also
were indicated.
In its current sheep and lamb situa-
tion report, the bureau points out that
total slaughter supplies of sheep and
lambs during the late spring of 1888
may be no larger than during the
spring of 1887.
The increase of about Is per cent in
the early lamb crop of 1888 in the
more important States may be about
offset by smaller narketings of grass
fat yearling lambs from Texas.

SLUMP EXPECTED
IN FARM INCOME
Decrease of 1874 Per Cent
During 1888 Regarded
as Probable.
Special Dispa. .ch to The Star.

NEW YORK, March 22.--Tn view
Of the similarity between the business
slump at the end of 1929 and the
slump at the end of 1897, it may be
tentatively assumed that the per-
centage decrease in annual farm in
come from 1887 to 1888 will be ap-
proximately the same as the 1914 per
cent decrease from 1929 to 1880
according to the Alexander Hamilton
Institute.
The returns on farm income for
January provided support for this
assumption. While the decrease from
the level Of year ago for this
month, amounting to 80 per cent
was considerably less than the esti-
mated decrease for the entire year, II
was greater than the decrease which
occurred from January, 1929, to Janu.
sry, 1880. That decrease amounted
to 7.9 per cent.
If the annual farm income shows
a decrease of 1914 per cent this year
1t will drop from S8,521 100000 In
1887 to S6868, 100000 in 1888. This
means that income from marketings
III 1888 will amount to s6,501 900 900
providing that it is correct TO assume
that the Governments benefit pay
ments this year will equal the S367,-
000,000 paid out last year.
There Is other evidence prevailing
at the present time that the estimate
Nf thIc upor'c
from marketings will prove to be ap-
proXlmately correct 1t seems fair tc
assume that the quantity of farm
products sold in January will repre-
sent this years annual rate. The rata
IN January was above last years
annual rate and thus takes into &C
count the larger supply available this
year as the result of the bumper
harvest in 1887. At the same time,
the January rate was below last year S
crop value, thus allowing for the
inroads made into this years supply
by the abnormally large sales of 1887.
On the basis of this estimate of the
quantity which will be nlr rketed in
1888, a price index for farm products
OF 62.7 would result in the estimated
income CT S6,501 100000 for 1883
The price index in February was 66.4.
or only slightly above the index re-
CURED to produce the estimated in
come, and the prices of farm products
are still on the decline, the index
having dropped from 500 in January
and from the inhationary peak of
69.7 in January, 1887.

c. & n. RAILROAD
MERGER PROPOSED
Consolidation With st. Paul
TaIked-DeIay Asked in
Reorganization.
Ey the Associated Press.

A stockholders protective commit
tee urged the Interstate Commerce
Commission today to postpone further
hearings in the Chicago e. North
Western Railroad reorganization pro-
ceedings pending an inquiry into the
possibility Of consolidating the North
Western with the Chicago, MilWau-
kee, st. Paul & Pacific Railroad.
The committee, headed by Arthur
T. Gait Of Chicago, said none of the
pending plans for the reorganization
has attempted to consider" the pos
sibility of recognizing the North
Western by consolidation with another
railroad.
The Gait committee filed its petit
ton. shortly before the Interstate
Commerce Commission denied a
similar plea for postponement Of
Chicago. Milwaukee, st. Paul g. Pacific
reorganization proceedings.
In denying the plea for postpone
ment in the Milwaukee proceedings,
the commission closed the hearings
and called for the filing of briefs by
May 81.
Hearings in the North Western
proceedings will be resumed April 10
unless the commission grants the
postponement.

NEW YORK, March 22.-Inven-

porations last year averaged l3 pei

This was shown in a recent com.
pilation by Standard Statistics Co.
which placed total stocks of the grour
at s2667,200 900, against s2,364, 900 ,0O(
the year before.
The survey indicated sharp off.
| ferences between the various industries
In some instances, forward buying o.
| raw materials by manufacturers re.
suited in heavy inventories. In others
more conservative policies led to mod
crate increases or declines.
Container manufactures and
glass Jars-reported the biggest in
crease over the previous year. 40 per
cent. This stemmed largely from the
huge stocks of tin laid in by the two
leading can companies. Investment
circles pointed out every pound of this
metal must be imported, so that the
move probably represented an attempt
by the companies to protect their
essential raw material supply against
possible serious disturbances abroad.
Auto Inventories Jump.
Gains of one-third were registered
in the inventories of automobile parts
and accessory producers, metal fab
rlcators and soap manufacturers. All
found themselves faced with steadily
rising staple prices throughout 1886
and. early 1887; the first two require
metal-copper, zinc, lead, steel and
tln-whlch were booming; the last
named vegetable oils and fats, which
rocketed under the impetus of drought
shortage. To prevent soaring prices
from cutting too sharply into profits
all laid IN ample stocks-only to have
prices crumble later.
Other industries showing substan.
tally larger stocks last year END were
aircraft and machinery makers, ofics
and business equipment concerns, raj,
equipment producers and steel manu-.
facturers.
Analysts noted that largest increases
were concentrated among the so-called
heaVy industries. This group started
recovering from 1928 low levels ap-
proxlmately two years after the con-
sumer goods producers had started to
climb.
Textile Totals Down.
Textile and apparel companies
turned in a s per cent smaller in
ventory position than in 1886. This
was the smallest of the industries COW
cred.
The automobile trade inventory
picture was incomplete in that the
largest producer, General Motors, was
not included.
Food producers had 3 per cent less
on their shelves last year than the
year before. Retail trade and non-
ferrous metal firms tnlining and
smelting) reported gains Of 2 and 3
per cent, respectively.
Estimates Of the physical volume of
stocks were not available, the above
data being based on dollar value. The
statistics are in many cases, however,
after allowance for substantial drop
in commodity prices in evaluating in
ventories. Thus actual supplies meas
ured in pounds, yards or tons at the
year end were probably considerably
above the 13 per cent dollar gain re-
ported.

Not since early summer of 1885 had

Lower prices for farm products were
largely responsible for the drop in the

The index of food prices. which

tlonally last week, largely the result
Of higher quotations for meats.
Another drop in fuel oil prices,
combined with lower quotations for
kerosene, resulted in the fuel price
average declining to the lowest level
reached since January, 1887. In the
textile group declines in other fibers
much more than offset slight rise in
wool; the resulting decline in the
group index continued the downward
movement which began last summer.
An advance in the price OF steel
scrap. following a prolonged decline,
was much more than counterbalanced
in the metal group by weakness in
brass products, tin and zinc Another
decline was registered by the fertilizer
