NEW YORK, Jan. S-It was to
Washington that business looked this
week for clues tc what's ahead, says
Business Week today.
The Presidents message to Congress
was received with mixed feelings. The
midweek press conference revealed a
surface willingness to be helpful in
breaking the current business recess
sion, though proposals for output con-
troll savored of N. r. A, days, despite all
protestations.
Budget balancing was again post
poned
The SLOW revival of business in 1898
will cut into anticipated revenues and
tend to encourage higher expenditures.
On the other hand, the tendency to-
ward smaller deficits is being stressed
by some as factor in last years
downward turn of the business tide.
Hopeful Signs Seen.
In the market place there were a
Few encouraging developments.
Raw material prices and securities
strengthened after an uncertain be-
ginning. Steel operations moved up
over rs per cent of capacity from the
holiday lows, though recent adminis-
tration pressure on steel prices is sour
ing the industry's outlook, despite a
fair flow of orders from railroads and
the prospect of more tonnage from
shipyards under the new impetus of
naval preparedness.
Moreover, one large rug mill whose
operations had been drastically cur
tailed in recent weeks. resumed a 40
hour-week schedule in some depart
ments to build up stocks that had
dropped too low. Shoe producers, too,
who cut output sharply below 1886
during the last half of 1887, are now
stepping up operations.
Price Cuts Appear.
Price reductions have been appear
Ing in several fields recently, trace
able to reductions in raw materials,
desire to cut inventories and a general
slackening in demand.
Proctor g. Gamble announce cuts of
5 to 712 per cent in soap prices.
Meat prices at retail have shown sharp
declines. Hosiery, sheets, denims,
overalls. shoes and rugs have joined
the parade. Mems clothing stores are
making drastic efforts to clear stocks
by price inducements. Living costs,
which showed the first decline in No
vember. will undoubtedly show another
when the December figures are COM

Most significant development of the
week is the appearance of a new COM

field, heretofore shared by Ford. Gen.

Motor Co. announced that it would

than S11,000,000 for new tools and
equipment and present to the public a
new car at a price below comparable

new challenge has not been an

Good Will Tour

Minneapolis Group. Mayor
Leach, Mike Kelly, Halsey
Hall Met Main Streeters

In a program of Good Will, a
group of Minneapolis men, all MEM
bers of the Minneapolis Civic g.
Commerce Association, arrived in
Sank Centre Tuesday afternoon at
three-thirty to meet with a number
of local businessmen. This group
represented the On-to-Nicollet COM
mittee Of the Civic G. Commerce as
ISOLATION with Tom Hastings as
committee chairman.
This meeting was held in the
Community Club rooms, where a
number of the group spoke to the
local men on baseball and their
"On-to4Nicollet" program. Mayor
Leach, of Minneapolis, Mike Kelly,
owner of the Minneapolis baseball
club, and Halsey Hall, sport writer
of the Minneapolis Journal, were
the speakers.
This tour was made to promote
good will between Sank Centre and
Minneapolis, to create interest in
the Minneapolis baseball club and
the "On-to-Nicollet" program, as
we'll as the intercollegiate track
meet and field day at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota.
Before and after the meeting the
group made an effort to become
acquainted with the Sank Centre
businessmen and to personally ex-
tend an invitation to them to come
to Minneapolis and enjoy the offer
ings in sports, especially the ma
tional pasttime, baseball, at Nicol-
let Park.
