days, with many mills running better
than they have for several months.
Some Heavy Industries Hit Hard.
Heavy industries maintained their
volume long after the more sensitive
consumer industries began to curtail
Hence. some were hit later hut harder
than the lighter manufacturing group
Biggest sufferer among the durable
goods industries has been steel Op-
erations catapulated downward from
IS per cent of capacity last August
to 20 per cent a month ago. Since
Christmas there has been some re-
covery and the operating rate this
week is around 80 per cent, compared
with 80 per cent a year ago.
Motor assemblies in 1887 were the
second largest in the history of the
industry Car sales continued at an
excellent level until November, when
they folded up like an accordion. Fac
tory output has dropped from 10000
cars per week last Spring to $4,000 at
present. The current level, on the 9TH
err hand, compares with only $4,000 as
semblies in the first week of this
month.
Building volume has held up re-
markably well. Private home con-
struction has fallen sharply since last
June, and is only IS per cent of the
1887 level. But non-residential AMI
public operations have stepped into
the breach so that total construction
in December was above a year ago.
Furthermore, the first half of January
was BETTER than the initial fortnight
of December. AS a consequence, al
lied industries, such as lumber, have
begun to pull up from their recent
depth OF as low as so per cent under
their 1857 peak.
Machine-tool orders are good

cember total of domestic orders was
off 10 per cent from November, but
latest figures indicate a less-than-
seasonal decline. Meanwhile, foreign
orders for our machine tools-parti-
cularly from Russia-are coming in
briskly.
General Indicators Look Up.
Miscellaneous indicators also give
an excellent clue to business condi-
tons. Heading the list is power con-
sumption. 1t is a valuable indicator,
because electricity is used universally
in factory and home. It's trend has
been vertically downward since Sep

Raleigh, Jan. 28.-North Cardinals
political "Old Guard is giving three
cheers, fervent and sincere, if not
loud enough to be heard by the naked
ear, at the elimination of Major L. P.
McLendon, of Greensboro, from the
State Board Of Elections.
This feeling of relief and iubilation
is only natural and human in view of
the fact that the Guilford man has
been very outspoken in his criticism
OF the election practices without
which many, if not most, of the "Old
Guard would find themselves showed
away from the political swill trough.
VI course, the die-hards and stand
pats have so far been able to defeat
practically every reform proposed or
recommended by Major McLendon,
but with each succeeding campaign
raising a stencil in the nostrils of the
electorate, it has become harder and
harder for them to stay in the saddle.
At last years session of the Dem
ocratic State Committee there were
visible indications that the McLendon
ideas of clean elections were gaining
ground, although every effort to eli
inmate abuses Of the absentee ballot
law was soundly defeated.
There is no doubt that Major Nc
Lendon could have stayed on as chair
man had he desired to do so; but
there is no sound or sign of lamenta-
ton in the "Old Guard tents because
he did not choose to accept another
term.
His successor, w. A. Lucas, of Will
