Associated Press Index
Goes to 1867 Per Cent
OF 1929-30 Mark
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press Financial Wrtter.


NEW YORK, Oct. 14-The au-
tumn business upswing, one of the
fastest on record, slowed its pace
this week.
Capacity or near capacity opera
tions in some industries, the pass
ing of seasonal stimulus in certain
lines and a letdown from the re-
cent war buying scramble cut the
speed of the advance.
The thirteenth consecutive weekly
rise lifted the Associated Press in
dex of industrial activity to 1867
per cent ofy the l929-30 level from
1868 the previous week. 1t was
the smallest weekly gain of the
war period.
Measured by this index, business
now has returned almost to the
recovery peaks of May, 1887. 1t
began its present rebound from the
late 1887 collapse about the middle
of 1888, retreated a little in the first
half of this year and then marched
straight forward
War orders from Europe remained
subject for conjecture, linked with
the neutrality legislation under de-
bate in Congress. But there was
plenty of fuel for expending in
dustrial operations at home. Rail-
road and utility equipment buying,
increased spending for factory con-
struction and huge reserve of un.

had business wheels turning at the
swiftest October rate since 1929.
Industry Prepares.
The increasing expenditures for
capital goods, especially in trans
portation and electric power, seemed
to have been influenced in part by
the prospect of heavier arms outlay
by the United States next year and
the chance modification of the neu-
trality law might bring the much
discussed buying of supplies here by
the allies
The British and French govern
ment heads in formal pronounce
ments turned against the Hitler
peace bid, indicating war might be-
come long test of stamina. Specu-
lative markets, however, either were
skeptlcal Of these statements or
dulled to war stimulus after the
excited rush for stocks and COM
modities in the first 10 days of
September.
War shares continued to mill
about in a narrow range. Most
commodities also were in rut.
Corporate bonds loafed with stocks,
leaving investment bankers still
waiting opportunity to resume the
new financing interrupted by the
hostilities.
A labor controversy
in the Chrysler organization checked
the upward trend in assembly of
1910 automobiles. The weeks out
put. nevertheless. totaled 1890
units, which was more than double
the comparable 1888 figure. Some
trade observers predicted motor pro-
duction in the final three months
of this year would be the largest
on record.
Heavy Lines Lead.
Heavy industries. getting into a
money making stride again after
years lean times. were the main
support of the business advance.
Steel operations came within shade
of reaching 80 per cent of capacity.

Increased Lamb Feeding
Predicted by Officials
By the Associated Press.


The Agriculture Department said
yesterday that the number of lambs
to be fed on American farms this
winter and next spring was ex-
pected to be considerably larger
than year ago.
While making no estimate on the
increase for the Nation as a whole,
the department said shipments of
feeder sheep and lambs into the
corn belt through stock yards dur
Ing the July-September quarter was
25 per cent larger than during the
same month last year and the largest
since 1884.
Direct shipments from breeders to
the six central corn belt States were
said to have been about rs per cent
larger than year ago.
The total movement into the corn
belt, through stock yards and direct,
was estimated to have been be-
tween 6000 900 and 700 900 head larger
than year ago.
The department said the heavy
early movement into the corn belt
reflected the rather poor range con-
dltIons in Western States where
drought conditions have prevailed.

Which Are You?
BY Ella Wilcox

There are two kinds of people on
earth today;
Just two kinds of people. no more
I say.
Not saint and sinner, for it's well
understood
The good are half bad and the
the bad are half good.
No the rich and the poor, for to
rate mans wealth
You must first know the state of
his conscience and health.
No, the two kinds of people on
earth that ] mean.
Are the people who lift and the
people who lean.
Wherever you go you will find
the earth's masses
Are always divided in just these
two classes.
And oddly enough, you'll find too,
I ween,
There's only one litter to twenty
who lean.
In which class are you? Are you
easing the load
OF OvertaXed filters, who toll
down the road.
Or are you a leaner, who lets
other share
Your portion of labor, and worry
and care?
