1873 Economists See
Slight Drop in 81
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-Reports
by 1873 leading economists show
they expect 1854 to be the Ma
tion'S second biggest business
year with only a slight drop-off
from 1885 boom levels, the F.
w. Dodge Corp. construction
news and marketing specialists,
said today.
Thomas S. Holden, vice chair
man of the corporation, polled
the economists, of whom 49 are
in business organizations, al in
colleges, % in financial organ
ization, four in Government and
l6 are business conSuHAntS.
Mr.. Holden, writing in the No
vember issue of Architectural
Record, said that economists
think "the anticipated drop from
the boom levels of 1853 will be
quite mild"
A majority of the economists
expected moderately declining
construction activity as meas
ured in 1854 by estimates to be
made by the Government.
They forecast that in dollar
volume next years Government
totals will be down 8 per cent
from 1858. The majority ex-
pected this drop to be due part
ly to moderate price declines and
to a lessening of overtime al
though higher hourly wage
scales are anticipated.

Retail Trade Scores
Pick Up During Week
As Weather CooIs
BY the Assecioted Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Retail
trade picked up perceptibly in
the week ended Wednesday as
Seasonably cool weather came to
many parts of the Nation, Dun
g. BradStreet reported today.
Attractive promotions and easy
credit terms enabled most stores
to surpaSs sales levels of year
ago, as they have done most Of
1858. The Christmas theme was
more in evidence than at this
time last year, and retailers ex-
pressed confidence that gift-buy-,
ing would top the record season
of last year.
Dun & BradStreet estimated
the total dollar volume of retail
trade to be from unchanged to
4 per cent higher than the cor
responding 1852 level. Regional
estimates varied from levels of a
year ago by following percent
ages: New England, unchanged
to up 4; East and Southwest,
down l to up 3; South and Mid
west, up l to 5; Northwest and
Pacific Coast, up to 6.
Interest in apparel snapped
back from the lethargy Of recent
weeks. Many retei Tiers thought
the revived demand would offset
the lag experienced during recent
unreasonable warm weather. The
total spent for apparel was
slightly larger than a year ago.
Stimulated by cooler weather,
food buying rose slightly and
housewives spent slightly more
for the table than year ago.
Demand for household goods
was mixed but averaged about
as much as year ago. In most
sections, radios, bedding, floor
coverings and decorating mate
rials were popular.

Tax Losses Discussed
Securities holders who have a
tax problem should consider Seri-
ously the taking of tax losses and
gains now, advises a current
bulletin from Alex. Brown e.
Sons, which has an Office here.
We believe the action should
be now because in favorable Sit
uationS in which you have a loss,
these securities probably can be
replaced this year after the 30
day waiting period at prices
which will still reflect tax SELL
ing" the bulletin declares.
There appear to us to be great
opportunities for upgrading port
folios at the current level of the
market"
Pointing out that a 10 per
cent reduction in personal in
come taxes is scheduled for jan
uary l, the bulletin adds:
Losses taken before the year
end will be more valuable to you
as a taxpayer in 1858 than losses
taken in 1884"
