~ Forecast for Next Year.
BY JOHN T. FLYNN
rEW YORK, Sept. 8—They are. singing two different songs in ‘Wall Street. One is that the country is going to the dogs; that un-
~ certainty in government is holding
‘back business; that government in-
terference has just about doomed ‘prosperity. This is the song they are singing with their lips. The ‘other they are singing with their cash. It is that we are heading
|
for a boom in |
the summer of 1937. : The first tune they use to hurt Roosevelt. The-"| second one they use because they believe it and hope to make money out of it. They are 1 saying that polMe. Flynn itics is ruining usiness, but they are betting the her way. | Any number of stocks have doubled in value this year. One can find even utility. holding company stocks which have gone up more ‘than 100 per cent in market price, Even some railroad stocks have doubled. And it is the railroads and the utility holding companies which the government is supposed to have injured most. These higher prices: for shares mean simply that the boys in te Street are gambling that, in spite of all their dark » prophecies, things are going higher. 5 #2 =» =x r y HAT is this based on? It is, : based chiefly on the expectation that there will be a building boom under way by next summer. Whether this is sound or not is another matter, but the belief is
firmly held by many.
- This in turn is based on several
factors. First of all the mounting reserves in ‘the banks are now so enormous that business men do ‘not see how freer credit can be delayed much longer. Second, government liberalization of long-term mortgage loans is looked upon as a good reason why bank credit should begin to * flow into the building mortgage “market. Third, home builders have apparently demonstrated that they can create a market for small
= houses by styling them. They have
had a good deal of success” this year and this may prove an en_couragement to go forward with
even bigger plans next year.

Fourth, they believe the housing shortage will have developed more surely by next spring.
” n n \[FTH, they believe that the government is going to keep on spending for relief and they are discovering that relief money loses no time in being piped out into
~ business.
Also there are many stories go- . Ing around of large plans by va“rious large corporations for plant extensions and rehabilitation, such as the big General Motors project in New Jersey and certain United States Steel plans. These are the chief grounds of this belief, but the great point is, whether they are sound or not, that they are held firmly by a large group of operators in the market. ~ Incidentally, whatever they may . say for publication, they believe * that there is going to be no tax hoisting next year no matter who wins and not very much difference in the amount of money spent, no matter who wins. That's why they .are betting differently from the “way they talk politically.:

campaign issue, Republicans charg-
ing ‘waste and extravagance and Democrats upholding their own course, this chart gives a clear idea of how government receipts and expenditures have varied during the period from 1920 to 1936. The lines show the fluctuations up to the end of the fiscal year 1935-
1936, which ended on June 30, 1936.
Lines in the 1937 coloumn are
drawn from estimates given in President Roosevelt’s September budget : message, in which the chief executive's figures indicate a decided increase in révenues and a decided drop in expenditures for the year ending

NEW CAR SALES CONTINUE GOOD
Greater Public Purchasing Power Reflected ‘ in ’36 Figures.
Times Special NEW YORK, Sept. 8. —Sustained consumer demand for new cars and
priced groups reflect the public's growing purchasing power, according to a rfew automobile and truck industry réport on Poor’s Industry afd Investment Surveys.
Estimated July sales totaled 335,000; a figure exceeded for this month only in 1926 and 1929. This followed sales of 369,000 units in June, and brought the seyen- -month | total to 2,188,000, 26 ‘per cent over the comparable 1935 period. “The usual seasonal let-down in automobile production was delayed by this showing,” the report said, “and it is estimated that dealers’ stocks aggregate only five to six weeks’ ‘supply. This would indicate a relatively short manufacturers’ shutdown period in preparatlon for 1937 models, and asures a healthy inventery situation when the ‘latter are announced in November.
Ford Sales Lower
“General Motors and Chrysler’ continue to lead in registrations, largely - at. the expense of Ford,
below 1935. Independents are mak-
ing a good showing, led by Hudson, Studebaker and Packard in the
higher priced groups,” the report said.
Almost without exception, earn-
companies for the first half of 1936 showed wide gains over the similar 1935: period, according to the survey, with Chrysler reporting the highest profits for any half year.

COOL WEATHER DUE TO BOOST PRODUCE TRADE
Supplies Light, but Pickup Expected, Agriculture Bureau Says.
Times Special * WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. — Trading at leading Midwestern produce market centers was still lacking in color last week, but gradual improvement was indicated . with the approach of cooler weather, the VU. S. Bureau of Agriculture announced
doday in its weekly report.
Supplies were light for this time of year, but truck crops and fruit advanced slightly with better growing conditions. Carlots were about 15 per cent larger in volume, with moderate gains registered for potatoes, sweet: potatoes, apples, grapes, pears, peaches, lettuce and cabbage, while melons and cantaloupes remained on the downward path, the report said.
The general potato situation at| gm
principal trading posts continued fairly steady. with supplies moderate and demand slow. Eastern Cobblers dropped about 10 cents in Chicago, selling at $240 a 100 pounds which was close to the price of Wisconsin round whites.
Onion Market Active Prices of sweet potatoes remained
-about steady in early September,
with Tennessee Nancy Halls ranging from $1.80 to 10 cents more a bushel in Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati, while Louisiana Puerto Ricans brought $1.75 to $2 in the Middle West. The onion market has shown activity about three weeks earlier than last year, due to the large
| crop of good onions which arrived
from Michigan and smaller allotments from Indiana and Illinois. : The cabbage condition improved with receipts increased and prices lowered. St. Louis quoted Wisconsin round type cabbage $60 to $70 a ton in bulk. Melons slumped rapidly during the latter part of August and few carloads are expected after Labor Day.
Apple Crop Good
The apple crop appeared to be of good variety and showed freedom from many of the usual injuries from pest and diseases, the report said. Scald from recent hot weather
1 seemed to be the most serious effect
Western small,
on the Middle ments. ‘Sizes ran are expected to improv sinc th rent rainfall in producing quartrs. Demand is fairly good and prices stayed about even with those of the preceding week, it was reported. Michigan Wealthy | and McIntosh sold at $1.40 to $1.50 | x a bushel. Illinois apples were worth $1 to 50 cents higher for best sum-
shipbut
‘mer variety in St. Louis.
Michigan celery. called for 35 to 40 cents a highball crate in Chicago | § but reached higher prices in some Eastern and Midwestern cities. Slow, dull markets were reported for Eastern celery in producing sections. Tomato supplies were liberal in St. Louis from nearby sources and from Michigan and Ohio, also from Eastern markets.

Less Volume, Greater Efficiency Suggested
‘BY RALPH HENDERSHOT Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—Most business men have been having a case of jitters since the new RobinsonPatman Act went into effect. But Frank Klein, budget director of the Worthington Pump and Machinery Corp., seems to think the dark cloud has a silver lining. He believes it ‘will result in abandonment of the fetish in many businesses of concentrating upon greater and greater volume. “Thoughtful students of management,” he says, “have for some time been of the opinion that intensive cultivation of a limited market rather than a continuing drive for a more extensive market results, for many businesses, in a. more efficient operation—‘efficient’ meaning lower costs to consumers and, concurrently, a higher rate of return on the capital invested in the business.”
: Sees Help in Examination Mr. Klein's reasoning is sound in
“s | a great many respects. One of the
greatest faults in industrial operation today is that many concerns
{| have grown much too rapidly, even
though they may not have grown The heads of these com-

ficiently, and their lieutenants have been selected too hastily. During the boom period all sorts of corporations were thrown together loosely, and all who were connected with them were so busy they had little or no time to think of anything except meeting production demands and extending their markets. The depression, however, gave many of them an opportunity to pick up their loose ends and consolidate their positions. Adjustment Difficult “The Robinson-Patman Act,” according to Mr. Klein, “now places upon all businesses the necessity to examine in minute detail for the first time the costs of doing business. There is small doubt that many business heads will view the results of that self-examination as a mandate of common sense to change the whole direction of their particular businesses from a drive toward a large operation to one for shrinkage to an optilnum size and consolidation at such a level.” It will be recalled that in the early part of the depression many
of our large corporations were unable to adjust themselves to the changed conditions. In some cases operating expenses continued at their previous high levels, while in other instances men were discharged in droves without due regard for their usefulness to their employers. The effects of these conditions were reflected in operations prior to the advent of the NRA. Small units were producing and selling goods at much less than the big companies could afford to sell them. And these “bootleg” products were being accepted in the markets once held by the big concerns. Perhaps if these markets had been properly clinched in the first place, they
might never have been susceptible to such inroads

By United Press ARDEN, Ont. Sept. '8—Deposits of raw asbestos have been found north and south of the gold fields recently discovered 11 miles north of here, it was learned today. This tiny village of 350 population continued today to attract mining men and prospectors from widely separated sections of Canada and the United States, as all reports
tended to confirm the optimistic expressions of local residents as to the richness of the new gold fields. The gold vein runs 10 miles east and west straight through the bush country, and extends about three and one-half miles in width, according to experts.

JAPAN ANXIOUS FOR IMPROVED U. S. RELATIONS
Trade Commission Expected to Influence Tariff Regulations.
By United Press TOKYO, Sept. 8. — Japan wants better trade relations with the United States and intends to make an active effort in that direction as soon as America’s presidential elec= tion is out of the way. Attempts of the Japanese govern=
ment to have a trade commission established have been delayed, ace cording to the interpretation here, by absorption of the United Jraten in its presidential race.
The trade figures as released here show that last year Japan exported to the United States goods worth 555,000,000 yen, while purchasing in the United States goods valued at 809,000,000 yen.
“Despite this favorable situation,® says the newspaper Asahi, “the United States ignored its advanta= geous trade with Japan and has been raising tariff on cotton cloth, slide | fasteners, woolen gloves, ‘assessed a consumption tax on rape= seed oil and is now reported to ba considering a tariff increase on
porcelain and hosiery goods from Japan.”
Tariff Discussion Urged
“It is the objective of the Jap= anese government to have the trade commission established Be=tween the two governments and. discuss those goods liable to be. subjected to tariff raise. The pro= posal was made to the American government, and when Commercial Counsellor Inouye, now at New York, returns to Japan, Japanese government authorities will hear from him the views of the Ameri= can side in regard to the proposal, and they will positively call upon the interested quarters to assist in the formation of the commission.
Traders Recognized
+ . “The forthcoming America-Japan Trade Commission is designed to be composed of the authorities of the Treasury and State Departments on the part of the United States and the authorities of the Japanese Embassey in Washington, Japanese Consul-General, Commer= cial Counsellor, etc., on the part of Japan,
“The ‘traders of both countries are also to be allowed to become members. The commission is de= signed to function as a pelinanent institution.”
