TREND POINTS TO BUSINESS PICKUP EARLY NEXT YEAR

RETAIL TRADE FOR YULETIDE FAIRLY GOOD Efforts of Steel Makers to Place Industry on Paying Basis Helps. PRICE GAINS FORESEEN More Optimism Among Leaders Despite Little Change in Last Week. BY RICHARD L. GRIHLEY L'nitrtl Press Financial Writer NEW YORK, Doc. 6.—Prospects oL a substantial business recovery early next year were seen this week in reports of fairly good Christmas retail trade, and efforts on the part of steel producers to place the industry on a profitable basis by inaugurating price advances. What was believed to be one of the most important developments of the current year working toward business revival, was the advance of $1 a ton in bars, shapes and plates instituted by the leading steel producers in their effort to end the price-cutting war in the industry. Possibilities of advances in other steel prices were seen by many steel authorities. Price Advances Predicted In view of the general belief that business recovery must await the change in the downward trend in commodity prices, it was regarded as a strong possibility that price advances might take place in other commodities. Already copper producers have succeeded in boosting prices 2’i cents a pound, at the expense, however, of curtailed production. Farm prices have shown more stability recently, due in a large measure to efforts of the federal farm board to peg wheat prices. Actual business and unemployment conditions this week showed comparatively little change, although more optimism was manifest in business circles. Retail Trade Is Better A factor in the better feeling is the current activity in retail trade, which is estimated from a few scattered returns to be at least 90 per cent of the record turnover of a ye&r ago. Leading merchants report a better demand than expected in many retail lines. Wall Street’s interpretation of President Hoover’s message to congress is that Washington will not harass or irritate commerce and industry at this time, when the country was working out its salvation. The Street especially approved the President’s definite recommendation for an appropriation up to 5i30,000,000 to be used as an emergency fund for public work.; construction. Industrial, railroad and public utility construction programs, however, are not expected to equal the 1930 record during the coming year, according to early reports from industrial heads. Wall Street Sentiment Divided Expansion and construction programs in the electric power and gas industry are not expected to exceed a billion dollars in the coming year, which would represent a reduction of about $300,000,000 from the 1930 aggregate.i On the other hand, a number of corporation heads expect to spend at least as much in 1931 on expansion as they did during 1930. Sentiment in Wall street continues about as divided as ever regarding the turning point in the business situation. It is felt in some quarters that the stock market may be adversely affected darly next year by last quarter industrial reports, which will not become public until late in January.

PARTY SMASHES HOOVER FARM RELIEF PLAN President Grasps for House Aid After Defeat by Senates. 0. P. By United Press WASHINGTON. Dec. 6—President Hoover grasped today for support among house Republicans after his party in the sefiate had smashed and discarded his proposals for drought relief. The house agricultural committee was summoned to meet today in executive session and battle the issue of whether drought-distressed farmers shall be aided with an appropriation of $25,000,000 or S6O - 000.000. Mr. Hoover wants the smaller figure, and has let it be known he will fight to get it. The President's determination suggests even the possibility of a veto if congress insists on more than doubling the sum the budget bureau is prepared to spend on drought relief projects. Defeat Is Overwhelming Administration defeat in the senate committee was overwhelming. All members of the committee present voted Friday to report favorably a bill appropriating $60,000,000. Chairman McNary -of the committee, who also is assistant Republican leader, led the rebel- . lion. He and the committee expect the senate to pass the bill Monday. Both houses were in recess today. Representative Aswell (Dem., La.) challenges the administration bill in the house. But Chairman Haugen of the agriculture 'committee is standing by the President. The committee may increase the appropriation somewhat above $25.000.000 but not to $60,000,000. Opposed by Hoover Aswell, sponsor of the $60,000,000 bill, hopes at least to compel the | house committee to make public the names of members voting for the smaller appropriation. Administration opposition is | grounded on the fact neither the $150,000,000 emergency ' unemployment relief bill nor the drought relief project is included in the budget. With a deficit of $180,000,000 al- | ready indicated, enactment of the | unemployment and drought meas- | ures would increase that figure to : $390,000,000.

HUGE GAIN IS SHOWN BY WET VOTE IN HOUSE Drys Score One-Sided Victory, but Opponents Are Optimistic. Bui nit* and /*•#■*.* WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.—Members of the house wet bloc expressed satisfaction today at the outcome of their first prohibition battle of the new cession, professing to find no cause for discouragement in the dry's one-sided victory. Instead, the group led by Representative Lintliicum (Dem., Md.>. whose effort to ban poisoning of industrial alcohol failed overwhelmingly Friday, is planning another thrust at the dry law when the justice department appropriation bill comes up. A determined effort will be made, it was said, to eliminate a $2,000,000 fund sought by Amos W. W. Woodcock prohibition director, to provide for addition of 500 new federal dry agents. The chief reason for the wets’ optimism after failure of Friday's assault on prohibition appropriations in the treasury-postoffice supply bill, was said to lie in the vote upon the Linthicum poison alcohol amendment. The drys killed this proposal, 106 to 54, but the wets polled twice as many votes as they did when a similar amendment was defeated last January. The vote then was 107 to 27. With numerous wet and dry organizations sclieluded to meet here next week, there is renewed discussion today concerning the possibility of a showdown on a national prohibition referendum.
