BUSINESS IN HOLE
American business has been 60
ing deeply into the hole since the
depression started. It is figured
that some $4,000, 100000 more
has been paid out than earned, an
appalling showing. This has been
possible only because of the pros
perity the nation formerly en-
joyed under the old deal.
Naturally, savers have been
fighting shy of putting their funds
into business. New capital issues
for years averaged better than
So SOC, 100000 per a annum. BY
1888 this stream had practically
dried up. Even in the last three
years it has been only about one
third Of what previously was nor
NAL. The total for the current
year will unquestionably fall short
Of even one billion dollars.
Records compiled by the Ma
tional City Bank Of New York,
covering 290 industrial corpora
tons, reveal the startling fact that
their net profits declined So per
cent in the first three-quarters of
last year, compared with a year
ago. Ponder this appalling show

Government receipts in Novem

Show November Gain

QN.S) Exports of copper
from the United States in Novem-
Der we're valued at $6,683, ,216
against $6,067 ,999 in November
1887, and $S,228,785 in October,
1888, according to an estimate to-
day by the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce
The Washington times., 1938-12-28

continued. The part of the re-
action that is more than seasonal
is mostly due to the need of cur
failing production in several indus
tries which have run ahead faster
than consumption. The trouble is
not that there has been any gen.
eral decline in demand, but that
production rebounded from the de-
preSsion at too rapid a rate.
DEMAND HOLDS UP
It Is important to note this fact,
because it shows why we need not
be alarmed. The demand con-
tinues to hold up and even show
improvement. AS soon as curtail-
ment is established, therefore, ex-
cess stocks of products will be re-
duced, and recovery be resumed.
This seems to be true of steel
and it is not surprising to find a
more-than-SeaSonal reaction al
ready under way in that quarter.
But it will be observed that there
is no price weakness at this time.
Evidently, demand is well main
tanned. In fact, prospects for
building and railway steel buying
are actually better.
One point about which there
may be some doubt, is the auto
mobile industry, and the action of
motor stocks on the exchanges has
not been conclusive.
BUILDING BETTER
About building activity, there is
practical certainty. This finds ex.
preston in better conditions in the
lumber industry, and lumber pro-
duction has increased more than
Seasonally of late.
Railway car1oadings declined
more than Seasonally week ago,
and are likely to go a little lower;
but with building materials, steel,
and such commodities in demand,
rail traffic will net hold a down
ward path for many weeks.
This should remind us that
what the railways need is traffic,
and the chief source of the needed
traffic lies in increased activity in
the heavy.goods industries. What
the Government can do that will
be most helpful is to establish
conditions favorable to building,
plant and equipment expansion,
and long.range business planning.
That would soon give the railways
what they need.
EQUALITY NEEDED
Meanwhile, the proposals made
last week are mostly satisfactory.
They are based upon a recognition
thta the various transportation
agencies have not been treated
equally, and that all such agencies
are involved in one great problem.
Less discrimination against rail-
ways in favor of highways, is likely
to be one result. This, together
with some increase in elasticity in
railway rate making, will be
helpful.
But the notions that Govern
ment loans to the railways are
going to help. and that cut-throat
rates, regardless Of distance, may
be desirable, are delusions; and
In the end, If acted upon, will
bring nothing but harm.
