BUSINESS REVIEW
BY TRADE TRENDS
Initial War BOOmIet Is
Passed for Many Ma
jor Industries

The following business review is
given by the Maryland Trust Co..
Of Baltimore, i'll its March letter,
Trade Trends:
The pea OF the initial war bonn
let tor many major industries has
been passed but backlogs carried
over al the yeaT-end are still d
sustaining factor. Operating rates
IN January and February, there
fore were considerably above the
level of incoming orders, but re-
Gently production schedules have
been reduced sharply in some in
stances. The very sharpness of
the consumption to be brought
more nearly into line, and should
prevent further accumulation of
inventories which might prove
burdensOme if better business
volume should fail to materialize
later in the year.
The fourth quarter rise and the
lecline now in progress has been
exaggerated somewhat by most in
deXes, of business activity. for
these series give disproportionate
weight to production of primary
materials and semi-finish pro-
ducts. When the general supply
and-demand situation changes
abruptly, as it has in the last six
months, these lines experience
wider fluctuations than is true of
business in general.
The fourth quarter upswing, for
example, was paced by the steel
industry, as steel fabricators plac
ed larger orders in the fear that
prices might rise and deliveries be
delay i. Steel consumers inven
tories were built up and orders ac-
cumulated, but when it became ap-
parent that extensive foreign de-
man was not materialiZing, that
first-quarter prices would not ad
vance and deliveries could be OBJ
tanned, orders for primary mater
ials fell off. The result has been
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1940-03-08

a slackening in steel-ingot prOduc-
ton, although consumption by fab
ricators has continued at fairly
high rate. Business indexes,
therefore. which give heavy weight
to steel have exaggerated the ex-
tent Of the general decline. 1t is
Uue, however, that sales Of nearly
all types Of industried products
have been materially lower since
January / than they were during
the fourth quarter.
Corporate earnings statements
now being released reflect the
heavy volume of production and
shipments recorded in the latter
part Of the year Nearly all re-
ports show substantial improve
ment over 1898 and in a few cases
fOurth-quarter earnings were the
largest in history Net income of
most corporations. however. was
not as large as in other similar
periods when industrial production
was at approximately the same
level.
