If any more business were offered they would not be able to j handle it for many months. This is rcughtly my forecast for 1944 j The Babsonchart Index of the 1 Physical Volume of Business for i the final quarter of 1943 averaged j 141 compared with 150.7 for the , same period of 1942. The all-time' high was reached in December 1942 when my Index stood at 155.6. It is not possible that this record can be exceeded in 1944. Commodity Prices War developments will influence commodity prices .during 1944. The collapse of Germany could result in a sharp, though temporary, re action in leading wholesale in dexes. If the going in Italy or else where should prove unexpectedly hard indicating a longer war ? prices should firm. Cattle and hogs may bring lower average prices. Soybean and corn prices face the test of large marketings. They will do well to hold. Increased imports of coffee, cocoa and sugar will held down their prices. Continued heavy demand is in dicated for most industrial com modities. To what extent efforts to roll back food prices to September 15. 1942. levels will succeed is problematical. Mounting over-al! shortages, unprecedented demand and the necessity for maximum output will tend to maintain strong upward pressure on most prices. Advancing parity prices, storage, insurance and black mar kets further tend to keep prices high. Subsidies will be granted certain producers during 1944. Inventories Businessmen should watch the J Government's policy of disposing of its huee inventories of consu mer merchandise With stipplies nf a much higher level than in World War I. retailers, wholesal ers. and manufacturers should in ! sist there be no dumping on do mestic markets. This could smash prlccs. Flooding the export mar kets could make it difficult to sell i goods abroad at a fair profit. I j hope a substantial portion of our j surplus will be given to the peoples ( of Continental Europe and China. Sale* Prospect* T forecast that retail dollar sales will average 5% to 10% higher in 1944 than In 1943. Sales volume of consumer goods will again start to climb as smaller companies get the okay on postwar merchandise 1 1 expect some decline from 1943 In the physic*! volume of retail THUMBNAIL OUTLOOK FOR 1944 1. GENERAL: Year 1944 should be divided into two parts: ?a? January 1st to date of Germany's collapse; and <b> frcm said date to December 31st. 2. PRODUCTION': BaL-sonchart Index will average around 130. about 12% below 1943. 3. COMMODITIES : Strength in various commodities should be followed by renewed weakness. 4 SALES: Retail sales dollar volume will average higher for for entire year, but physical volume will be down 10 5. LABOR: Pressure for higher wage rates will continue throughout the year with more labor troubles and more wage increases than in 1943. 6. STOCKS: If the market is low when Germany cracks it will then go up: but if then high, it will go down. 7 BONDS: Good and medium-grade bonds will hold close to present levels throughout the year. sales duo to scarcity of goods and less employment. Substitute mer chandise has sold well but manu facturers and wholesalers are now wary of it. As good war news in creases. consumers will wait for now postwar merchandise rather than buy synthetic war made; Roods. Merchants should keep a workable inventory. Do not over stock. The following ten states air tops for 1944: New York. Pennsyl vania. Ohio. Indiana. Illinois. Mis- j souri. Texas. California. Oregon > and Washington. Of smaller vol ume states. I like: Georgia. Min nesota. Florida. Nebraska, Utah , and Arizona. Florida may see a . l ea! boom. Outstanding sales \ cities are scarcer. A year ago it j was simple to spot cities with ex- ! pected eains of 40 r' to 50^. Now more cities will show gains of only 5 rr to 10 T in 1044 over a year ago. Here is the pick of the lot: i Detroit. Michigan : Jackson. Mich 1 ignn: Knoxville. Tennessee: POoc 'nix. Arizona: Portland. Oregon: j San DiCKo. California: Savannah. ? Georgia: Springfield. Massachus etts: Topeka. Kansas and Wichi ta. Kansas. It will make a differ [ ence in 1944 business whether Ger many cracks in the early or lat ter part of the year. When this happens Washington will begin at once to cancel war orders, espe cially on the Atlantic Seaboard. The army will accept no move re cruits. may begin orderly demo bilization. Navy men may be in for two or three years more. Army demobilization may start around election time in 1944. Hiis shou.o help retail trade. Industrie* Differ Expansion of airplane factories has been practically completed. Automotive industry cPurlng 1944 will gradually reconvert to nor mal. New car stockpile low. Look for relief only on trucks. The chemical industry has enjoyed (treat expansion This may con tinue. Leaders in new drags shculd pro^pe-. Heavy chemicals may nc: show any naui ovsr 1943 volume Building about the same level for total new building as ir. 1943. Relaxing restrictions on pri vate construction will come in near future. Gains in 1944 will show in this category when compared with 1943 Am optimistic on post war homo building. The shoe and clothing indus tries are beset by price ceilings and increased costs. Tnese will continue through 1944. Woolen in dustry will remain very active. Rayon will continue at capacity output. Cot ten textiles will be fairly active, nearly equal last j year's level. With Germany out. consumer demand for these good5; should quickly replace war orders Dairy products will be scarce be cause of feed problem*. Slaughter houses rould do a bic volume. Ce real products will do well. Canned I good* will feel effects of sharply higher costs and lower output.! Bituminous coal depends upon la bor union policy, but I expect out put to be at least 10% better in 1944 than in 1943. Air transport will gain in equip- 1 ment. and efficiency. Mnnpower is ! far from solved. The trend of the j industry is up for both air passen gers nnd freight. Railroads will continue to suffer from equipment shortages. War peak of traffic is passed. Railroad needs are so acute that higher priorities for equipment will be forced. After tthe war. railroads will have a ter- , rible slump. With much less to haul, they will face, as never be fore. competition from coastwise (continued on page two) Dr. Paisley Honored At Union Services Dakins Interned At Philippines Mr and Mrs. Charles Dakin re luestcd a friend.
