EXPERTS SEE A TRADE PICK-UP DURING THE YEAR IN THE NATION The government's chief econonm- ists at Washington forecast a prosper- ous New Year for the nation in the survey of the last of 1938 business con- ditions. The Bureau of Agricultural Econom- ics, which charts trends in industrial as well as agricultural production and consumption, said prospects were gooa for continued recovery. The fall pick- up in industrial production and con- sumer demand recovered more than half of the ground lost in the 1937 and 1938 recession, its survey said. The Bureau reported a “marked pick up” in building activity and substan- | tial increases in steel, auto and textile | production. Factory pay rolls have in- | creased and unemployment has de- creased according to the Works Pro- gress Administration and ‘ American Federation of Labor reports. “Consumer purchasing power has in- | creased materially in recent months,” | the Bureau said, “and some additional | improvement is in prospect. However, | no sensationally rapid advance should | be expected in the near future. 1 “The rise in industrial production | that began last summer has continued | for six months, and considerably more | than half of the ground lost during the | recession has been recovered.” Inudustrial production in November was above the 1923-25 average, accor- | ding to latest reports. The increase | from the low point of last summer was | said to be due principally to increases in consumer goods. The bureau said that steel Inven- : tories have been built up and that the volume of output In iron and steel may decline some, although a resump- tion of purchase by automobile manu- facturers and new buying by railroads and the construction industry shoulda prevent any sharp drop. “It is probable that there will be a continued improvement in consumer demand during the next few months, even if there is no additional increase in industrial activity,” the Bureau said. “General improvement in business will result in the general resumption of plans for the rehabilitation of in- dustrial plants and equipment with a consequent increase in employment. “Further increases in spending for public works and additional improve- ment in general building activity should contribute to additional impro- vement by spring. The general oulook, it concluded, is for additional improvement in con- sumer purchasing power and demand for farm products in the near future. Prices for farm products were said te have declined less than seasonally in Leo Maziman, aged nine, of Nanty- Glo, suffered a laceration of the fore- head on Monday evening when an au- tomobile operated by his father, Sam- uel Maziman, colided with another car about three mils west of Ebensburg. old, appen it—It’s past history. 9.
