Ayres Predicts Rise
In Industrial Rate
And Employment
Long-Term Recovery
Program Urged by
Cleveland Banker
DOLLARS PER
oNO STERLING
BY the ASSociat ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 13.-Business
will be better in 1899, Col. Leonard
P. Ayres predicted today.
But before prosperity can return,
''pump-priming recovery" must
change into a "long-term recovery
carried forward by business" he
emphasized.
THE coming year now promises
to be period of better employment,
rising national income and increased
volumes of industrial production" :"
the Cleveland statlstician said in
his annual forecast.
Specifically he listed these prob
able developments" for 1899:
Industrial production averaging
higher than 1888, lower than 81;
national income above 81; wholesale
prices slowly advancing, but COM
modify prices not changing greatly;
freight loadings up 1920 per cent
from 38; iron, steel, motors output
up $3.50 per cent; most new con-
structlon since 1890; department
store sales nearer 81 than '38; mer-
chandiSe imports greater than ex-
ports; stocks higher than '38. lower
than 36; new high records in power.
Oil refining, tobacco products and
average hourly factory wages.
Addresses Chamber.
Col. Ayres prepared his predic-
tions for a Cleveland Chamber of
Commerce meeting.
The advance in business activity
can be relied upon to continue as
long as the outflow of public spend
ing remains undiminished, but we
know such spending cannot go on
indefinitely" he said. That fact
raises serious questions about the
probable course OF business in the
third and fourth quarters.
1T is as futile for us to believe
that we can spend ourselves rich as
for us to suppose that a man can
drink himself sober. The fatal weak
ness of such recovery is that every
one fears it may be only temporary.
Merchants enlarge their stocks but
not their stores. Everybody tries to
play safe
Points to Losses.
The Cleveland Trust Co. vice pres
ident observed, Business under
takings are about 40 per cent as at
tractive as they were in the two
preceding decades. For nearly
a decade the great majority of cor
poratlons have been losing money
instead of making it,
Capital which does not replace
itself consumes itself. We shall con-
tinue to consume our capital until
we can restore normal flow of
new capital issues to provide funds
for expanding enterprise"
That, he remarked, called for con-
fldence in the prospects of profit.

NEW YORK. Dec. 13 tP).-In-
creased railroad buying of equip
ment and materials in 1899 was
forecast in carrier circles today as
observers noted a continuance of
improvement in new orders.
One of the latest roads to an
noEnce expanded plans was Union
Pacific Railroad. w. M. Jeffers,
president. said the road is buying
between 10000 and 100000 tons
OF steel rails and fastenings for
laying in the spring. Last year the
carrier bought no rails. In 1896
it bought 10000 tons.
THE signs of betterment in the
outlook for the railroad equipment
and supply trade are becoming
clearer" says Standard Statistics
Co.
with carloadings exceeding 7OO,-
600 cars week for a considerable
period this past fall, with railway
operating net on the upgrade. with
the finances of the carriers already
moderately improved, and with pur-
chases possible on extremely easy
terms, there is every reason to ex-
pect substantially increased orders
of rolling stock and maintenance
materials"
Third quarter buying of rail
equipment and materials totaled
sl06, ,343 900, against $82 2,585 900 in
the second quarter and $98 ,66l 900
in the first quarter. according to
Railway Age.
Orders for the first nine months
of the year. however, showed a
decrease of go per cent under the

On Northern States
Power Plan
Glass B. Stock Rights
Materially Altered,
Commission Finds
By the Associated Press.

ny tne Associated Press.
The Securities Commission issued
today for consideration by stock
holders its report of a recapitula-
ton plan designed to enable North
ern States Power Co. of Delaware to
resume payment of dividends on its
preferred stock out of current earn
ings.
The plan calls for a write down of
$29, 600 600 on the balance sheet of
the Delaware company.
It hes become apparent, the re-
port said, that Items on the ball
ance sheet of the Delaware COM
pany are carried on the books of the
Delaware company at excessive fig
ures."
The commissions announcement,
discussing the effect of the plan on
the Delaware company stockholders,
said IF dividends are resumed on
the preferred stock, the keeping
down of arrears will pave the way
for possible earlier payment of
dividends on the class "A and class
b common stocks"
Owned by Standard Gas.
The stock whose rights will be ma
terially altered under the plan is
the class B" stock. This stock,
more than SO per cent of which is
owned by Standard Gas and Electric
Co., represents an investment by
that company in excess of $1,000 900.
Since the stock has no asset value
but retains 40 per cent of the voting
power, it is apparent that there is
an inequitable distribution of voting
rights. The plan provides that the
voting rights of the class "B" stock
will terminate in two years.
The only vestige remaining of the
b stock after 1941 will be its DO
tential rights to dividends. The plan
contemplates that the stock will be
cancelled entirely unless = these
rights are shown within five years to
have value"
Its report was issued, the S. E. C.
said, for submission to stockholders
of Northern States Power Co. of
Delaware to enable them to decide
whether to vote for or against the
recapitalization.
Three Firms Affected.
Problems involved concern three
corporations, each bearing the name
Northern States Power Co. The one
to whose shareholders the report is
being sent is Delaware corpora
ton. The two others are Minnesota
and Wisconsin corporations.
The Delaware company is ex-
clusively holding company. Sub
stantially all its assets are stocks in
the Minnesota and Wisconsin COM
panieS, which are operating COM
panies. Properties in the system
are in Minnesota. North Dakota.
South Dakota, Illinois and Iowa.
The commission said that the
write-down of over s29 900 900 de-
stroys no values. but that it merely
gives recognition to the realities"
1t was explained that under the
plan preferred stockholders of the
Delaware company relinquiSh no
rights.
The reduction of the value of the
common stock will provide means
OF eliminating the actual but unre-
corded deficit, and so enable the
company to resume the payment of
dividends on its preferred stock, out
OF current earnings"
