Abnormuliy High Rate
Points to Corrective
Movement
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The alb
normally high rate of manufactur-
ing activity which prevailed in Sep
TENDER suggests the possibility of a
corrective movement developing be-
fore the end of the year, according
to the Alexander Hamilton Insti-
tute.
At the same time, it is unlikely
that any reaction will be Of a par
ticularly serious character in view
of the unusual conditions prevail
ing at the present time. The Euro
pean war and the armament pro-
gram in this country will tend to
provide manufacturing activity with
more than ordinary support.
The present outlook is that the
annual quantity of goods manufac-
tured this year will exceed normal
by as wide margin as in 1887, al
though the excess in that year was
the largest on record. Since farm
income ard the price level OF man
ufactured goods indicate higher
normal in 1910 than in 1887 in re-
spect to the quantity of goods pro-
duced, actual factory output this
year promises to be larger than in
any preceding year in history.
Allowing for an excess over nor
NAL as great as in 1887, the annual
index of factory output in 1910 may
be estimated at 119, as compared
with l08 in 1899 and with the preVi-
Gus high record of 113 in 1887. 1t is
evident, however, that even this eS-
timated record high annual index
for 1910 will not permit manufac-
turing activity to be maintained dur
ing the remainder of the year at
as high a rate as in September.
Since the index Of factory output
averaged 118 during the first nine
months, the index during the last
three months must average the
same if the estimated annual index
of 118 is to be realized. This sug-
gests that before the end of the
year manufacturing activity will
show a recession from the rate in
September when the index was 130
If the index of factory output
averages only 118 during the last
three months of 1910, production
will be smaller than in the CORE
spending period of 1889 when the
index averaged 1876 This will be in
contrast to the showing during the
first nine months when manufac-
turing activity was at higher rate
than a year ago.

Ranes Urges Banks

Good Merchandising

By the Associated Press.

by the Associated PRESS.
HOT SPRINGS, Va, Oct. 90
Robert M. Hanes, immediate past
president of the American Bankers
Association, yesterday urged banks
through good merchandising of
their services, advertising and pub
lie relations to become active in
financing defense production.
Mr.. Hanes, president of the Wa
chovia Bank & Trust Co, winston
Salem, N. c., addressed the 25th an
niversary convention of the Finan-
cial Advertisers Association here.
1--WE know that the bankers of
America stand ready to do their
part" Mr.. Hanes said, adding, how
ever. that willingness is not enough.
Through good merchandising we
services, and make our banks vital
and helpful force in the emergency
that confronts our Nation.
I'VE must actively offer our serv-
ices to all producers and professors
who are directly providing sinews
VA VIC dLoO
age all types of businesses and
individuals to use the full facilities
of our banks if the Nation as a
whole is to earn and save and
spend in volume necessary 70 sus-
tain our national economy"
Mr.. Hanes said that with compe-
tition becoming more and more
keen in the banking business, ad-
vertising and promotion of greater
loan volume was the only way to
maintain creditable bank earnings
and safe banking structure with
present interest rates.
Rates of return on invested funds
continue to decline" Mr.. Hanes ex-
planned, with the bottom appar-
emily not yet in sight"

highest since October, 1929, when
there were 100000 employed, the
National Industrial Conference
Board said yesterday.
The board added. however, the

year interval.
Unemployed workers declined to
6,829.000 in September from 1858, 900
in August, an II per cent drop, the
board said. The sharp contraction
brought the jobless to the lowest
total since October, 1887. and repre-
sented a decline of 1853 900 since
September last year.
Normal seasonal trends in en-
ployment in manufacturing and
construction were upset as the ma

way. the board said. An increase of
BOT 0oo persons employed in agricul-
ture was much greater than normal.
Manufacturing claimed $4,000 more
workers and construction $1,000.
The conference board is a re-
search organization supported by
