Q STOCKS AND BONDS

This year have divided my forecast
into eight sections as indicated by the
following eight headings. Instead Of COW
ering general business as a separate topic.
l am sure that a reading of the following
will give a clear idea of my thoughts on
general business. Naturally my first sub
ject will be the political outlook.
do not expect any big changes under
President Kennedy. If he had won by a
landslide l would be quite worried, but
with a narrow plurality in the electoral
college ard only small fraction of one
per cent over Nixon in the total popular
vote think that our new President will
be very much on his good behavior. Cer->
tainly he will not have much influence
with either the Republicans or the Con
sentative Democrats of the South. He may
make radical recommendations in his in
augural address to save face, but most
of these will not become legislation.
He will recommend certain new vel
fare legislation. which will include medi-
cal care for the aged, an increase in
Social Security, a new minimum wage
increased public housing help for the dis
tressed areas. and more aid for education
Commodity Prices
Higher prices of commodities at the
retail level are more or less certain, but
wholesale prices will probably decline in
most instances. Prices will not rise be-
cause of initiation during 1861 The first of
the price advances will be absorbed by
the manufacturer Owing to the increased
competition in all lines. wise manufac
turers and retailers will keep their sell
ing prices down. This means that their
profits will be less if they are unable to
reduce their own costs All of this means
that general business may show less in
crease in activity and profits in 1861 than
in the previous year.
Now. in relation to gold Three-fltths
of the Free Worlds gold comes from
African mines. one-fifth from Canada
and the balance from the u S, and else
where There are many runlors that the
U S. will "revaluate. creating q higher
price for gold This will not happen during
1861: and think that the price of many
gold stocks will decline during 1861. The
very discussion in Congress Of possible de-
valuation would cause us to lose more
gold. Everything will probably be done to
avoid such discussion and believe

Virginia dark-fired Tobacco
markets. including Farmville,
will not reopen until growers have
a season for proper marketing
re CARELESS of whether it comes
in time for the scheduled January
9 resumption of auctions or not.
j. William Huntington, presi-
dent of Huntington Tobacco Com
pany at Farmville. said today
that by agreement of buyers the
reopening is now definitely tied
to a season. Sales won't resume
until after one comes.
The Farmville tobacco execu-
tive spoke for all buying inter-
ests on all Virginia markets at
Lyme burg, Blackstone and
Farmville.
w Leaf Appears
Tobacco at all markets was
being offered in wetter condition
than ever before prior to the
holiday closing Mr.. Dunnihg-
ton said. Tobacco graded wet"
loses support prices, lowers
grower income and generally
has a bad effect on market con-
ditions.
At Farmville, growers had
marketed 1895 $50 pounds prior
to the D E c e m b er Is holiday
closing. That was the smallest
amount offered to that time
since 1856. and more than half
million pounds behind a year
ago.
Tobacco farmer need a
damp, rainy period, preferably
with moderate temperatures to
take tobacco from barns, strip
it and prepare it for marketing.
Without such moisture absorb
ing weather. growers resort to
the use Of water to make the
leaf pliable and safe for hand
ling.
Almost without exception, the
weather has been dry and I'M

bonds must pay their interest irrespective

are especially helped by having the pay

Living Costs
Living costs may rise somewhat dur
ing 1861 due to the increase in population
and the desire for more comforts and con
venience. person like myself. who has
had children and grandchildren knows
how each succeeding generation considers
as necessities what the parents considered
Iuxuries. This. together with the higher
cost Of labor. is the primary reason for
today's record-high I27.30 cost of living

able. rents will increase slowly. There.
however, need not be a higher cost for
food. The farmers are constantly raising
greater crops which are being proceSsed
in more economical ways. The only rea-
son for the cost of food to increase is the
dependence of so many housewives on
package mikes" Ultimately all vege-
tables will be wholly or partly cooked and
purchaSable in containers.
Wages will hold up although there will
be more unemployment in 1861 This
means that take-home pay will be less
for most families.
Initiation Is not to be feared during
1861 With his small popular vote plurality,
Mr. Kennedy will be very slow to do any,
thing to hurt the purchasing power of the

year from now as it is today. Our U. S.
