Major Business Trends For
1945.
(Continued frwn page 1)
during 1945, lut most consumer
goods will hold firm or sell at
higher prices. For "both gasoline
and bituminous coal, there may be
price concessions
10. The great question mark of
1915 -will be how, to whom and at
what price the government "will
dispose of its billions of dollars
worth of unneeded supplies.
FARM OUTLOOK
11. The weather will be the
greatest factor in farm production
and prices during 1945. The
weather has been exceptionally
good on the whole for the past few
years; but sooner or later we will
have a servere drought or an early
freeze.
12. Pending a weather upset,
more bushels of corn and wheat
and more bales of cotton will be
raised in 1945 than ever before in
our history. Although some prices
may slide off, the total farm in
come for the first half 'Of 1945
should hold up.
13. There should he a 15 de
cline in hog slaughter and a 5
increase in cattle slaughter.
14. Dairy products will continue
to increase both in volume and
in price. I am forecasting at
least a 3 rise in volume.
15. Farmers will start in 1945
to work again for legislation on
their parity program, due to fear
of a collapse in all farm prices
after the war.
TAXES
16. Taxes will not be increased
during 1945 and some will be re
duced ; in fact, some nuisance taxes
will be eliminated altogether.
17. The Federal Debt will eon-

output will be uppej 5'X. Iruit and steel will decline- 10i. A
similar drop is in prospect for chemical manufacture. Lumber
output will increase 5. The paper and shoe industries will
run along on the same levels as during 1944. Industrial employ
ment will be 7 less and factory pay rolls will decline 10.
Greatest single expansion will come in the construction and
building group, which will show an increase of 25 from the
low levels of 1944's first six months. Look for a sharp drop in
retail trade, especially in luxury items. Electric power output
will be reduced 5 as war contracts are cut back. For basically

tinue to increase during 1945.
18. Whatever is dune about
.taxes, .the cost of living will con
tinue to rise during 1945.
19. Providing jobs for returning
soldiers will be the big political
football of 1945. I am not now
prepared to forecast what will hap
pen in this connection.
20. Through a coalition of Re
publicans and Conservative Demo
crats, we should have a "do noth
ing" Congress during 1945.
RETAIL SALES
21. The volume retail sales will
show a decline during 1945. Prices
of ladies' apparel and general lux
uries will suffer, while grocery
sales should be higher.
22. The total dollar sales should
be about equal to 1944 with an
increased demand for woolen and
cotton textiles for civilian use.
23. The best cities for 1945
business should be: Altoona, Pa.,
New Toik, N. Y., Cleveland, Ohio,
Davenport, Iowa, San Jose, Calif.,
Wichita, TSansas.
24. There will be a great stam
pede in 1945 to get rid of the make
shift ersatz goods which have
been -made to take the place of
good merchandise. Thus, 1945 will
witness many 'mark-down sales
of unrationed merchandise.
25. Wise will be those manufac
turers, -merchants and consumers
who realize that postwar competi
tion will he terrific and, therefore,
withhold purchases until 1946.
FOREIGN TRADE
26. The United States will own
over 50 of the world's ships in
1945.
27. There will be an increase in
free exports with the "Freed Coun
tries", but Lend-Lease exports will
decline.
28. We will make England and
Russia large postwar loans pro
vided they spend the money in the
United States.
29. Both the British Empire and
Russia will go into the competitive
foreign trade market during 1945;
nany cartels and government mono
polies will be in operation. I,
therefore, forecast higher prices
for coffee, cocoa, sugar and many
other articles for which we are
absolutely dependent upon foreign
countries.
30. No Central Bank will be or
ganized nor will the stabilization
of foreign currencies be attempted
in 1945.
LABOR
31. The Little Steel Formula will
be amended during 1945.
32. Industrial employment dur
ing 1945 will be off 7 in hours
and off 10 in pay rolls.
33. The building of a few new
autos and new houses will be re
sumed during 1945.
84. Many industries, now oper
ating on a forty-eight-hour week,
will return to a forty-hour week
during 1945.
35. Wage rates will not decline,
but "take-home" income will be
less
WAR OUTLOOK
36. The greater part of Ger
many's army will collapse before
the German planting season opens
in the spring of 1945. Before sur
rendering, Germany will try pois
on gas.
37. Japan will not hold out as
long as most people think. Japan
will collapse within six or twelve
months after Germany collapses.
38. If Stalin's health continues
he will be the world's most power
ful man in 1945 and may dictate
the peace terms, especially in the
Pacific.
39. Sometime after April, 1945,
Russia will join (or threaten to)
the Allies against Japan but only
after the promise of territory priv
ileges and a huge loan.
40. The markets may witness a
"communistic scare" during 1945;

but they should soon recover there
after. STOCK MARKET
41. The rails will show the
greatest decline during 1945, be
cause the airplane and shipbuild
ing stocks arc already pretty much
deflated.
42. The heavy chemicals, steels
and motors may hold their own
during 1945; but consumer goods
will do much better.
43. The safest stocks to buy
considering value, income and
safety will be the merchandising
stocks, especially the chain store
stocks.
44. 1944 aw a large increase in
the demand for peace stocks with
a decline in war stocks; but 1945
will witness them both moving
more or less together. Switching
has been over-done in most cases.
45. 1945 will continue to wit
ness creeping inflation, although
the big movement toward inflation
will not take place until the next
business depression which will fol
low the postwar prosperity.
BONDS
46. Though bank loan rates
should continue to have an upward
tendency, interest rates in general
will remain low through 1945, since
the money supply is now 20
above normal and government con
trols will continue.
47. Anticipating the expected de
cline in Federal taxes, 1945 should
surely see a falling off in the
price of most municipal and prob
ably other tax-exempt bonds.
48. The highest grade corpora
tion bonds will decline during 1945.
and staggered bond maturities dur
ing 1945.
49. Investors will give much
more attention to diversification.
50. More public utilities will be
taken over by municipalities and
"Authorities" during 1945.
REAL ESTATE
51. Suburban real estate will be
in much greater demand with high
er prices during 1945.
62 City real estate should hold
its own, excepting in the congest
ed war areas where declines may
set in.
53. Small productive farms will
continue to increase in price; but
large farms may sell for less in
1945 than in 1944.
54. Building will show a consid
erable increase. Contracts will be
up 25, but prices may be a little
lower due to increases in lumber
and cement production.
65. There will be no changes in
residential rents during 1945.
56. Real estate will be helped
by Congress ceasing to induct any
more men into the armed services
after June 30, 1945.
POLITICS AND POSTWAR
PEACE
57. The uncertain political factor
of 1945 will be Mr. Roosevelt.

On Furlough Here
People will soon fear that he may
resign before the next Congres
sional Elections either on account
of ill health or to become head of
a Peace Commission or new World
Organization.
58. Our foreign headaches will
become worse and more frequent
during 1945. What we are going
through to reorganize Italy, will be
repeated in many other countries.
59. The Latin American honey
moon has passed its peak. i tie
attitude of Argentina will extend
to other countries and our South
American troubles will increase
during 1945.
60. 1945 will see more religious
interest, including more church-going,
than did 1944. People gradu
ally are realizing that without a
Spiritual Awakening no peace or
other plans will be much good.
Nations cannot be depended upon
to cooperate and stick to their

The high cost of living
s-l
The low price of electricity
Look at the cost of living up 25.4 since 1939.
Or would you rather not?
Then look at the cost of electricity dawn 3.2 dur
ing the same period! Feel better?
Of course, the reduction in a nation-wide average,
and partly due to increased usage, vhich earns lower rates.
But it continues a long-time trend.
In fact, the average American family gets about
twice as much eh ctricit) for its money today as it did
15 years ago!
(So why iut your bill cut in half? Because you
have more electric servants now. Kilowatt-hours are much
cheaper but you're using a lot more of 'em!)
Will you pardon us a moment while we point with
pride to our wartime record? Production up price down
--no rationingno shortages.
Thanks to far-sighted business management, every
war plant making weapons has had plenty of electric
power. And so uill every peacetime factory making jobs'.
