IB. The total dollar value of all
I retail sales should exceed IH4(i
with an increased demand for
woolen and cotton textiles.
I 19. There will be a continued

especially for shirts and under

of making foreign loans, provided j
the borrowers w ill agree to spend i
a fair proportion of the money in
America.
2IJ. Both the British Empire and
Russia will keenly compete for)
foreign trade during 1947; but car
tels and government monopolies
will be frowned upon.
24. Throughout 1947 war talk
will continue, the thought being
that, sooner or later. England who
truly is in a terrible predicament
-will "shoot" to stop fuitber Rus
sian aggression.
Labor
25. Even President TVuman's
"eighteen and one-half cents" will
be forgotten during 1947. The year
will be noted for t hreatened strikes
and labor disturbance--.
2(! Industrial employment dur
ing 1 5)47 could be up both in hours
and in pav rolls, labor leaders' dis
couraging attitude notwithstand
ing. 27. Many industries, now oper
ating on a forty-hour week, will re
turn to a longer week during 1947.
There will be no wage reduction.':
and son further advances.
21! The Government will try to
demand better management and
closer labor-management relations.
Such prospects are not bright for
1!M7, bul Congress will repeal or
amend some of the present labor
'aws which are very unfair to man
agement. Inflation
29 The Inflation Era. which we
have been forecasting for several
wars, will be in full swing: but the'
reckless printing of currency will
not come iinlil alter 1950. The
pun basing power of the dollar will i
continue to decline.
HO All 1947 wage increases will
be distinctly inflationary.
Ill Sometime during 1947 pro
duction in many lines will have
caught up with consumption, peo
ple w ill have spent their savings
and then then- will be a surplus nl'ij
goods. i
H2. If Stalin's health continues'
good, he will be the world's most
powerful man in 1947. even from
an economic standpoint.
Stock Market
'.VA. The rails may suffer slill
further declines sometime during
1947. Certain industrial nianufac-!
tilling and other war stocks will
further decline during 1947: but
l he Dow-Jones Industrial Averages
will register higher prices some
lime during 1947 than the Decem
ber. 194(i, averages. All depends
upon how Labor behaves in Amer
ica and how Russia behaves abroad
and upon what the United Nations
do as lo disarmament.
34. The safest stocks to buy
considering value, income and
safely will continue to be "chain
store" and "recreation" stocks.
115. 194(i saw a large decline in
certain stocks compared with Ihe
averagn. Switching will be the
out standing market feature (luring
1947. Especially watch for bargains
in airline slocks.
IKi. The slock market will con
tinue to witness creeping general
inflation and no evidence yet ex
ists as to whether the "communistic
bicak" in I94(i was the beginning
of a real bear market or only a
read ion of a bull market.
Bonds
37 Although bank loaning rates
should continue a slowly upward
tendency, interest rates in general
will remain low through 1947. The
money supply is now 25'"r above
normal and Government financing
demands continued low rates.
38. Anticipating an expected re
duction in Federal taxes, 1947
should soe a further faUj,n off in
the prices of nios municipal and
other tax-exempt bonds.
39 Some -high-grade corpora
tion bonds may 'hold steady, bi.l
sooner or later will decline con
siderably. The Federal Govern
ment's 2'i;'s will be offered at par.
Investors will give more attention
to diversification and staggered
maturities during 1947
40. More public utilities will be
taken over by Federal and other
"Authorities durim 1947 Wise in
vestors will consider this possibil
itv when selecting pubic utility
securit ies
Real Estate
41. Suburban real estate will
continue in greater demand with
still higher prices during 1947.
42 City real estate may hold
its own due to less available space
caused bv pulling down structures
to save taxes and provide parking
spaces also to disinclination to
build due lo the pie-cm high infla
tionary building costs The fear
of bombing- in case of a re-opening
of World War II may also he
a factor.
43 Small subsistence farms will
continue to increase m price: but
'large commercial farms may seU
: lor less in 1947 than In 1946.
44 Building will show a Con
siderable increase. Contracts irtll
be up with advancing prices. 'tTe
present scarcity of lumber, cemit,
brk-Ks and labor should begin to
ease up in 1947.
45 Office and residential rents
i during 1947 may be expected to
: increase.
I 46. 1947 will see the beginning
j of the real building boom which
I should have started '.n 1946.
Politics and Post-War Peace
47 President Truman Tiow has
lost control of Congress and both
parties will be playing politics In
anticipation of 1948.
48 Our foreign headaches Wilt
become worse and more frequent
during 1947. What we are going
through to re-organize Germany
will be repeated in other coun
tries 49 The Latin-American honey
moon ha- pas-ofi it- peak. The at
titude of Argentina will extend to
other countries Our South Amer
ican troubles will continue to in
crease during 1947.
50 1047 should see more relig
ious interest. including more
church-going, than did 1946. Peo
ple graduallv are realizing that
without a Spiritual Awakening no
peace or other plans will be much
good Nations cannot !h depended
upon lo cooperate and stick to their
agn-ments unless they recognite
God as their Ruler and Guide.
Hence what good are agreements
