Business, Industry
Continue Output at
Near-Record Levels
By Richord Fiske
Asseciaisd Press Finaneiul Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Busi-
ness and industry took the in
augural in stride this week and
didn't bulge a hair from near
record production levels.
Coincident with inaugural
week were several harbingers of
good business. The first few
earnings reports for 1852 made
good reading.
The general air of confidence
continued this week. A survey
by the National Industrial Con-
ference Board showed that busi-
nesSmen and economists expect
a continued high level of busi-
ness in the first half with pos
sibly some easing off after that.
Businessmen generally had
differing opinions on earnings
this year. But most agreed on
one phase. It wasn't going to
be as easy to make a dollar;
costs would have to be watched,
and selling aggressive.
Retail trade on an overall basis
again surpassed the dollar sales
of a year ago. But the store
keepers worked hard to keep
shoppers buying.
Dun & BradStreet said ex-
tended shopping hours and re-
1axed credit terms were used
by many retailers 10 bolster buy
ing.
The business service added
that shoppers were more deeply
in debt than ever before. indi-
eating the large part credit was
playing.
The Commerce Department
said personal consumption ex-
penditures have been buoyed by
record inStallment purchases of
motor cars, appliances and fur
niture.

Chicago Grain

CHICAGO, Jan. "a R.-Another drop
In grain prices on the Board of Trade
this week kicked up some political DUST

Grains didn't end the week with too
great loss, although all wheat con-
tracts sold at new lows on Friday, but

Wheat ended the week ia to 21a

prospect of quite substantial export busi-
ness IN the near future. But nauida-
administration farm policies and the
International picture prevented gains.
There wasn't much to help iced grains
beyond the fact they were selling below
price supports. Corn was said to be
going into the Government loan in record
volume. On the other hand, mild wealth

Window Display Observance Dis
cussed at Special Meeting
Plans for a window display in
observance of National All Club
Week were discussed at a special
meeting of the County Line All
Club held on Tuesday afternoon,

Richard Reed were the hosts. Mr..
Martin Golden, owner of Golden's
Pharmacy, has extended an invita-
ton to the club to again use the
window of his store in assembling
their display. Several ideas and
themes were discussed before a
final decision Was reached. This
idea was the one submitted by
Renee Stevens and Jimmie Haas.
Details of the display will be re-
vealed during National All Club

mitted by Gerald Heinold was also
given much consideration; but due
to several complicated details, it
was given only second rating. An
other special meeting for the pur-
pose of completing arrangements
for the exhibit will be held within
the next two weeks.
