Business Continues To Look Brighter While there seems to be some slackening off in manufacturing in dustries from the wave of activity that started last fall with prospects of a war boom, merchandising ex perts see no reason to retract their general forecasts?a 5 to 10 per cent increase for the first half of this year over 1939 The purchasing pow er released by the high level of in dustrial operations in recent months is now making itself felt and uhould carry over any mild recession in the heavy lines. Steel's operating rate is around 75 per cent of capacity, com pared to December levels of above 90. but indications of a new indus trial upswing by early spring are seen in: carloadings of freight are holding steady at 90 per cent of normal; farm income from market ings is expected to continue the in crease shown last year;-the auto in dustry is expected to be in the mar ket for a large tonnage of steel by spring; wholesale furniture orders at the big market ran 30 to 00 per cent ahead of last year, and ship building is booming.
