BUSINESS PROSPERS;
REL0W'4SSA SAYS MS. j.

Missoula, April 6. Januar!
was a prosperous month for Mon
tana business, at least by pre-
war standards, but the statistical
evidence is by no means so en-
phatic as it was during 1913.
This is the conclusion in the
April 1 issue of Montana Bust
ness, published by the bureau of
business and economic research
at Montana State university.
Nonagricultural employment, cleo
trio power consumption, bank
debts, and building permit valu-
ations were all higher than in
January 1913, while department
and general store sales and car
loadings were down. Farmers
cash receipts in January were
much higher than in the same
month last year, and the output
q Montana mines was consider
Ably above the 1913 average.
While nonagricultural employ
ment in Montana was only 2 per
cent higher in January than at
the same time last year, this was
in spite of the severe winter
weather which accentuated usual
seasonal declines. Sales of cleo
trio power to commercial and in
dustrial users were a per cent
higher than in January 1913.
Carloadings per day were down
Is per cent from last January.
Daily average sales of Montana
department and general stores in
January were below those in De-
cember as usual and more than
7 per cent below last January.
Much of the decline from last
January is explained by the I'M
seasonable weather which affect
ed other business activity. 1t
is pointed out that several
months must pass before it can
be seen whether department
and general store sales are SIM
ply going through a pattern SIM
liar to their prewar seasonality
or are beginning a general de-
cline. January daily average
bank debts declined from Deem
Der but were still slightly above
those of last January 1913.
Partial data received for Feb
show a continued seasonal
in nonagricultural en-
and bank debts, but
both of these business indicators
continued to be higher than in
The same month last year.
Following a summary of ma
,ional developments significant
