Month to Show Upward Employment Trend.

Business and industrial develop“ments, and statistical readings of Indianapolis trade barometers indicate some continuing improvement in local conditions, the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce disclosed today. | In a business review for November, the C. of C. said employment ' in the city continued on an upwar trend, showing gains for the fourth consecutive month in approximately 600 manufacturing and nonmanurfacturing establishments. The larg est increase was made by the durable goods industries, according to the report.

“Compared with the 1938 low reached in June, Indianapolis factory employment showed an accumulated advance of 22.2 per cent, and payrolls an accumulated increase of 30.4 per cent in this period, the report said.

"Building in Seasonal Drop

“While building activity, as indicated by the number and value of permits issued, showed a seasonal decline in November as compared with the previous month, when a new highs was established, it -displayed considerable gain over the corresponding month of last year. “Bank clearings in November not only showed a gain over October but were larger than in any previous month this year and for the first time in 1938 showed an increase over the corresponding month of last year. Bank debits, which in October were the largest of any month this year, declined, both from the previous month and from. last November.

- “Postal receipts, which had gained ‘for two successive months to reach the highest total for the year in October, showed slight declines from that figure and for a year ago, although still higher than in any previous month except March.

Carloadings Decline

“Inbound carloadings were under the - year[S peak figure reached in October and also under the November, 1937, total, while outbound carloadings) also showed slight declines.

“Electtic power consumption in Novembey was greater than in October and gained substantially over the same month last year, the total being the highest since August, 1937, and only slightly under February, 1937, which showed the largest consumption in several years. Industrial gas consumption, which reached a new high in October, fell

off in the 30-day period but still was]

substantially higher than November, 1937. | “Continued buying of new models boosted car sales to double the October figure and the largest number since last March.

~New Enterprises Noted

| “Another development noted in recent weeks that indicates increased confidence in‘ continuing business improvement and in the business future of Indianapolis is the growing number of new commercial enterprises and the expansion of other established concerns thrqugh additions, improvements or removals to larger quarters. #The Brooke, Smith & ° French survey of business conditions in 147 of the country’s leading trading ' centers in November again shows Indianapolis in the small group where business for the month was closest to normal. The index figures for this city show business here was 10 per cent below normal in November, las compared with 9 per cent below in October and a normal index for November, 1937. The survey figures place Indianapolis in a much better position than other Indiana cities and other cities in the Middle West.” Although, incredses in manufac-

REGINA, Saskatchewan, Dec. (U. P.).—Saskatchewan’s fame as a honey producing area is widening in Great Britain. The steady growth of honey exports from this province was apparent this season when 300,000 pounds were billed to British consumers, a total four times

greater than in 1937. More than 5000 Saskatchewan

farmers now devote most of their time 'to honey production. Only a few years ago Saskatchewan was obliged to import most of its honey from other Canadian

provinces.
