Buying Agents Hail
Extremely Favorable
Business Outlook
By the Associoied Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Business
conditions for the last quarter of
1s47 appear extremely favorable,
and the slight downward trend"
reported in June has changed,
resume of purchasing agents re-
ports indicated today.
Except for coal, steel, and steel
products, the price trend has
changed but little, the National AS
sociation Of Purchasing Agents
Business Survey Committee report
ed, and competition Is becoming
more, effective each month. Sub
stitutes for high cost products are
available in greater volume.
Factory inventories Drop.
OF inventories, the survey said:
Many industries report raw ma
terials inventories are in balance
with high production requirements.
Industrial inventories are continu-
ing their downward trend at about
the same rate as In the previous
several months, and further reduc-
tons are being made as materials
become more readily obtainable on
shorter schedules.
Buying policy: many buyers urge
extreme caution. The slight indica-
ton of long-term commitments
evidenced in the June reports are
not confirmed in August. Ninety
per cent are under three months,
with many in "handto-mouth" to
60-day limitations.
Specific commodity changes: the
trend to level off or decline has been
checked by the sharp upswing OF
coal and steel prices which some
buyers describe as "inflationary."
The important changes, where
supply Is coming into balance with
demand, include copper, brass, lead,
lumber, alcohol, plastics, and vege-
table oils.
Price Reductions Listed
Price reductions: alcohol turpen-
tine, fats, oils, some lumber, men
thol, cotton, synthetic resins, rubber
and steel scrap are cheaper.
Price increases: coal, coke, fuel
oil. corn, wheat, fine paper, steel
are higher. Steel and scrap are a
bottleneck in many industries. Soda
ash was described as tight"
Housing construction is booming,
but business construction is tagging
Skilled and unskilled labor Is short
In several areas, the purchasing
agents said.

Money Market Faces
Busy Period After
Quiet August
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-The City
of Chicago Transit Authority sold
out its entire s1O5 100000 bond issue
in a whirlwind finish this week.
Facing September IL deadline,
the syndicate selling the issue an
nounced on August 26 that $685.
900, 900 of bonds had been sold pub
licly. Buying orders apparently piled
up overnight and the following day
the syndicate disclosed the issue
had been completely placed.
The transit authority had sold
the bonds to the syndicate, headed
by Harris, Hall g. Co., the First
Boston Corp, and Blyth & Co., or
the condition that the syndicate
would take all bonds If 1t had Sc
cured orders for 80 per cent of the
total by September IL.
Proceeds will be used for purchase
and unifcation of Chicago's surface
and rapid transit lines.
Financing Volume Down.
New financing activity otherwise
was on the slow side, with the
largest issue $l5,O0o,oo0 of 2o-yeal
27s per cent debentures of Libby
McNeill & Libby, food packing con-
cern. The issue was marketed pub.
licly at 1001z by group headed
by Glore Forgan g. Co. and books
were closed early the day of Of
fering.
The future, however, promised te
keep underwriters on their toes as
business was expected to step into
the new money market at fast
rate.
August financing, incidentally
was the slowest for any month o1
the year. New bond sales were the
smallest since last September anc
stock offerings at a low since June
1945.
Underwriters, their inventories O.

lowest level in years (although som,

PATRONS MEMOIRS

One by one, the high-brass char
acters of the late war are coming
out with their memoirs in publish
ed form, the latest one being the
late General George S. Patton,
commander of the Bird Army dur
ing its historic campaigns in the
European Theater.
It may be presumptuous for an
EXCL, especially a former enlist
ed man. to express an opinion
about Pattons book, especially any,
thing which might be construed as
derogatory. However. we have be-
come very brave about talking to
and about officers since having re-
ceived the ruptured duck, and II
has almost come to the point
where we are willing to classify
such individuals as colonies and
generals as people. and treat them
as such. At any rate, we are will
ing to discuss Patton's book on It's
merits.
The Generals memoirs seem to
be pretty straightforward account OF
his personal activities in the war
in a day by day sort of style. Those
who expect an elaborate exposition
of Patton's theories of war and a
technical account of brilliant stra-
tegy and tactics will, however, be
disappointed, because there ISM
any. The absence of such brain
fare for students of war may be
explainable on the ground that, af-
ter all, the writer did not intend
his memoirs to be anything but a
personal narrative.
The undeniable self-esteem with
which Patton held himself is re-
vealed by his memoirs He pulls no
