Salient Factors

The 1899 prospect is largely de-
pendent upon two salient factors:
Cd Increased industrial activity
and pay rolls which will increase
the demand for farm products.
(2) Adjustments within the agri-
cultural industry to bring its COM
ponent parts into better balance,
one with another, in relation to
the supply and demand situation
as to food, feed, and fibers. A
good sign has been the recent dis
position Of industry to increase
the production of industrial goods
in better balance with the high
production program for agricul-
ture.
There was a sharp rise in indus
trial production in the last half
of 1898, but the improvement in
consumer purchasing power and
demand for farm products was
relatively less marked. Whereas
about one-half of the decline in
industrial production during the
1898 recession was Cancelled,
slightly less than one-third Of the
decrease in factory employment
and in the incomes of industrial
workers was made up.

Boom in Aircraft

Other bright spots in the indus
trial picture are the automobile
production and allied lines. and
the aircraft industry. Automobile
production has recovered consider.
ably. Standard Statistics forecasts,
tentatively, an output of 100000
cars and trucks in the United
States and Canada for 1889, which
will show gain of 80 per cent over
the estimated production OF close
to 2,650,00G units in 1888.
The rearmament program both
abroad and in this country might
well tax our aircraft producing
facilities.
Probably the upswing in the tex
tile cycle which began in the Sec
ond quarter of 1888 will continue
IN 1899. But in some respects this
industry appears to be getting into
the boom stage.
The situation in foreign and
domestic trade may be briefly sum
married. by pointing out that both
imports and retail sales, measured
in terms of values, have also
shown a substantial gain since
the second quarter Of 1888. I'm

anticipation of expanding in

which will begin to take effect
later in 1899. Further increases
in spending for public works, and
additional improvements In gen.
eral building activity, should con.
tribute to additional improvement
by spring.
The net of all this is that it is
probable there will be continued
improvement in consumer demand
for farm products during the next
few months, followed by a period
Of relative stability.

agriculture would be a narrowing

Farmers now are engaged in
planning crop production for 1899.
Excepting the acreage of wheat,
which doubtless will be reduced
in view of the large supply of
wheat already available, the total
acreage of food, feed and fiber
crops will likely be maintained
at about 1888 figures.
