GLOBAL
BUSINESS
ROUNDUP

wA ~ ~ ~
NEW YORK, (GlobaD-Retail-
ers over the country are fairly
optimistic over the business outlook
this year. Their optimism has a
basis in tax cuts which, according
to second-quarter reports this year,
showed personal income running
at an annual rate of $252.9 billion,
which is 1 per cent above last year.
Many merchants feel the excise tax
cuts have increased buying since
last Christmas, and they look for
ward to a profitable holiday season
business, particularly since con-
Sumers seem to have come to the
realization that things are not as
bad as they have been made out to
be.
Further, many retailers are en-
thusiastic about the improvement
in the quality of their merchandise,
and the fact that list prices on GER
tain items, particularly in home ap-
pliances, are considerably below
this period last year.
X X
Government figures reveal that
claims for jobless pay for the week
ending October 2, dropped to 241,-
400, the lowest level in nearly a
year. This figure was 4,70O below
the previous week and was the
lowest since October 81, 1858,
when new claims were 234,OO2.
The automobile market is now
in fairly healthy state, due pri-
marily to cutbacks in production
because of model change overs.
New 1855 models will be out the
middle of November and in the
meantime, dealers are pushing
1854 models.
1t appears that in a short time
some manufacturers predict five
yearS-there will be a complete
switch to tubeless tires. Packard
first announced its use of tubeless
tire in its new models, and Chrys-
Ter followed suit, adding that the
new feature would not add to the
cost. tits expected that other auto
mobile manufacturers will so equip
their 1856 models, and it appears
that soon tires with tubes will be
obsolete.
