Spending in 46
May Top As

NEW YORK, Jan. 9 APP
Reduced income tax payments and
savings will make it possible for
consumer expenditures in 1916 TO
rise above the 1915 record total
despite declining national income,
according To A. w. Zelome @ k,
economist of the International
Statistical Bureau, Inc, private
research organization.
In a prepared address 10 the
smaller stores division of the Ma
tional Retail Dry Goods Asso-
citation convention, Zelomek said:
Income i'm l9i5 was close
10 Sl6O,OO0, 100000. In 1916 IL
will probably range between
SI40, ,0OO. 100000 and Sl45,0O0,-
100000. That represents a loss
10 the stream of purchasing
power Of, say Sl8,000,000,000.
SAVINGS Kate DROPS
al the same time, personal
income taxes will drop about
$4,000, 100000 and the remain
ing Sl2, 200, 100000 will be more
than made up by decline in
the abnOrmally high rate of
current savings"
Citing prewar savings of s per
cent OF income, the economist said
the ratio had increased 10 about
25 per cent in 1914
I'm 1915, since VI Day, the
rate of current savings has
begun to drop; proving rather
conclusiNely, believe, that
most people will spend rather

The Manufacturers National
Bank of Detroit managed 10 show
an increase in profits despite a
Sizable decline in deposits. Total
deposits slumped 10 S442,SlS,34S

for the year l945 amounted TO

President Charles Kanter said
that the decline in deposits had
been anticipated and was provided
for in the banks investment pro-
gram.

ported an increase -ifi deposits at

for 1915 amounted 10 approXi-
mately S260000. or $3.50 a share.

NO CREDIT STRAIN

As a result. prices should be
very high. both because of earn
ingS. and because the capitalized
value OF earnings will be great.
Nor is there any credit strain
in the sense of an acute condi-
tion tending to occasion a crash.
Brokers loans today are hardly a
factor. and great accumulations of
idle funds still exist.
And the labor crisis is nearing
a stage at which the darkest
hour" must be close at hand.
Doubtless the recent hesitation
and minor reaction in the market
have been connected with this
crisis. But should the critical
period between now and Jan. II
bring any considerable further de-
cline in stock prices. l would be
inclined TO buy rather freely. on
the ground that we are not going
to tolerate labor chaos in this
country.
Detroit evening times., 1946-01-09
INCREASED EARNINGS

-f-sfAhe FIRST 10 be Kept in mind
is the probability of increased
business earnings in the future.
This market is not built upon
current earnings. These are in
a good many cases off and in
others are more than allowed for
in present prices,) 1t is not built
upon current dividends and yields.
The yield of common stocks has
declined, and is now much the
same as in 1929. But the great
demand for goods. and prospects
of higher prices for such goods.
warrant the anticipation of higher
earnings in the future. And as
the demands of labor are dealt
with. this anticipation will be-
come a practical certainty.
? The second is the abnor-
mally low level of interest rates,
strongly maintained by the gov
ernment's attempt to tighten the
burden of our vast and growing
public debt. The present condition
of easy money has the following
significance; tA) it means a low
rate for discounting the future
and the future of earnings looks
bright. CB) 1t means a low rate
for capitalizIng such earnings.
CO II means easy credit.
