Machine Tool
Orders Pick Up;
New Gains Seen
BY the Associated Press

One of the business barom-
eters always consulted at the
years end-the flow Of new
orders and inquiries to machine
tool builders-gives a moder-
ately favorable forecast for
1868.
Orders arriving from United
States manufacturing COM
panies for metal-cutting tools
were about Is per cent higher
last year than in 1861, the
National Machine Tool Build
ers Association reported. The
number of inquiries about new
tooling picked up Smartly as
the year neared its close. The
builders were hardly satisfied
with the 1862 record, however,
because foreign orders declined
while United States orders in
creased. Export business fell off
to such an extent that the
years new order total, around
$525 million, was about $50
million below the 1861 mark.
The drop-off in foreign
orders reflected the general
showdown in the growth rate
Of Western Europe as we'll as
an expansion of European tool
building capacity. Foreign
orders dropped nearly so per
cent.
But the rise in domestic
business is far more important
to us in the long rum" an
association spokesman COM
mented.
Total orders for metal-form
ing tools, as distinct from cut
ting tools, showed a gain in
1862. There were about $170
million worth of new orders
compared with $131 in the
previous year. but this branch
of the industry is less favored
as a business indicator.
The machine tool industry,
long operating at depressed
levels, foresees no dramatic
Frightening Of its prospect in
the near future. But recent ac-
tions of the administration and
Congress to stimulate in
dustrial expansion should re-
suit in some pickup in busi-
ness this year, the association
believes.

so Increase

CHICAGO, Jan. 5 (AP) "A
high trade authority figures on
IA 5 per cent rise in shipments
on furniture from factories to
retail stores in 1868.
That's the outlook Of John
M. Snow, executive vice presi-
dent Of National Association of
Furniture Manufacturers.
He estimated such shipments
in 1862 will add up to a record
$4.44 billion as measured in
terms Of retail values. That
would be about 10 per cent over
1851 and it would top the high
recorded in 1859 by $50
million.
Reasons Offered
In predicting a 5 per cent
gain in 1868, Mr.. Snow stated:
1T is quite possible that the
industry may do much better,
but the signs pointing toward
a bigger increase are not yet
strongly apparent.
However, we have not beer
able to find any justification
for pessimistic reports issued
by some industries for the first
part of 1858.
"A 5 per cent increase over
1862 volume would bring 1876;
volume to SIS billion"
Reasons Outlined
Mr.. Snow said his calcula-
tions for 1868 included these
factors:
The increase in marriages ir
each of the last few years IL
expected to continue.
A rise in consumer install.
ment credit during the first
nine months of 1862 reflects
greater confidence on the par
Of consumers.
Consumer income is expected
to remain at a high level.
The Federal Reserve BoarC
reports greater consumer inter.
est in buying durable goods, in.
cluding furniture.
Private home construction il
expected to remain at the 1861
level.

billion in the like period OF
1861.
Retail demand held up as
mills built up stocks which had
been reduced since mid-l96l.
Prices were generally stable in

general feeling is that stocks

pected in 1868.

Textiles Gain Ground
In Battling Imports

NEW YORK, Jan. 5 (AP) -
The textile industry, although
plagued by mounting imports
from countries with iowerI
manufacturing costs, pushed
ahead in 1862 and the outlook
is for further improvement in
1868.
Production increased in the
cotton, wool and synthetic
fibers segments. However, the
advances were accomplished
against a background of a poor
previous year.
Output of cotton broad
woven goods showed good i'm
provement in the first half Of
this year, softened in the third
quarter, and picked up in the
fourth quarter. y.
3 Pet. Increase
For the year production was
estimated at 3 per cent above
the 1861 output of 9,156, 100000
linear yards.
Prices improved in a limited
way from mid-l96l but became
soft in the third quarter of
this year.
In the IL months ended Sep
tember 30-the latest period for
which figures are available
imports were the equivalent of
1,115,000,000 OBJ square yards
This was 1877 per cent of the
base objective set by the in
ternational cotton textile ar
rangement.
The Association of Cotton
Textile Merchants of New York
said the outlook for 1868
should be pretty good" pro-
vided imports are better con-
trolled.
Production of woven wool ap-
parel fabric was estimated at
290 million linear yards, an
increase of less than S per cent
over 1861. The worsted branch
appeared to have Jared better
than the wooden.
Business appeared to be hold
ing up reasonably well as the
year closed and manufacturers
were hopeful that 1862 gains
at least could be maintained
in 1868. Prices we're firm and
went up a bit during the year.
