CHEERFUL SIGNS
IN TRADE CITED
Increase in Public Works
ind Utility Contracts
Raises Hopes.
BY The Associated Press,

BY The Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Signs that
business, in some respects, is better
than reports indicate were today cited
in the current issue of Banking, publ
cation Of American Bankers Associa-
ton.
"At the beginning of February, for
example" the publication said, public
works and utility construction con-
tracts were closed amounting to more
than twice the total of the same period
last year. Similar contracts by private
engineering concerns were also above
last years records.
These activities will require the
purchasing Of supplies in a large
amount and the orders do not yet
appear in any statistical reports"
On basis of long-range outlook. the
survey said. "it would seem the pros
poets for the steel business are better
than they have been, even during the
period preceding the rise which began
two years ago."
The publication reported "a con-
siderable degree of hope prevails in
all quarters that basic recovery will
get under way during the spring sea-
son. but there is general agreement
that cooperation between Govern
ment. labor and business is an absolute
prerequisite"

side of the entrance to Lake Poy~
ang on the south shore of the
Yangtse river.
Both sides devoted much of the
day to propaganda statements in
connection with the first anniver-
sary Of the war.
Behind the barrage of state
ments it was apparent that both
sides want peace but that neither
is yet willing to make the con-
cessions necessary for truce nego-
tiations.
Foreign observers in the war
zones continued to believe that
China's position is becoming in
creasingly desperate and that ia
pan has better than an even
chance to win at least partial
victory.
Foreign naval attaches con-
frmed Chinese reports from Han
| kow that d number Of japanese
warships had been damaged by
Chinese planes, mines and land
batteries in the fighting below the
Chinese capital. They said three
additional Japanese destroyers, an
aircraft carrier and a transport
were being repaired in ship yards
below Shanghai.
Foreign military attaches eSti-
mated that Japanese dead and
wounded during the first year OF
the war totalled about 100000
and Chinese military dead about
100000 with about 100000
wounded.
Chinese civilian casualties were
estimated at from 100000 to
100000, including those strick-
en- with disease. About 50,000,-
600 Chinese were affected by the
war and of these some 30,000,-
600 were wholly or partly desti-
| tute.
Losses to Chinese business
firms were estimated at 800
100000 yuan ($300,000,000) and
losses to foreign business inter
ests at 5OO,OOO,000 yuan $780,,
00O,00O).
In Tokyo the Japanese govern
ment estimated Chinese dead at
| 51O,109 and wounded at $780,
900.
Japanese . soldiers killed were
listed at 6,629. No estimate of
wounded was made.
japanese forces had occupied
$4,000 square miles of Chinese
territory with a population of
about 100000, 900.
