NEW YORK, Sept. 20-The
national income produced in the
United States rose in July for the
fifth consecutive month and
reached the highest figure on rec
ord. according to the Alexander
Hamilton Institute. The amount
of the national income in July was
Sc, $50 DOC, 600, as compared with
So, 260. 100000 in June, and with
Sc, 2l0,0 900 900 in July last year.
The 1873 per cent increase In
the national income in July over
last year exceeded the gains in
previous months of this year. This
is shown by the fact that the
cumulative total for the first seven
months was 28.4 per cent higher
than a year ago, with the national
income rising 10 $50, 291 ,000, 900
this year from S40,740, 900, 900 last
year.
Preliminary information indi-
Gates that the national income
showed a further expansion in Au-
gust. Industrial activity was main
tanned at a high rate and ship
ments OF agricultural products ap-
parently showed the usual seasonal
increase. Commodity prices in
August continued to rise. The
present outlook is that the national
income will show a further expan-
sion during September and Oc-
tober. Industrial activity should
continue to be well maintained
shipments OF agricultural products
should show further seasonal ex.
pansion and it is likely that the
