Phophets Sound Note of Op- 1
timism, But Are Not Reck- ,
less in Predictions
FACTORS IN THIS PERIOD J
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.?At this
time optimistic predictions on the t
New Year are in order, but with the ]
false optimism of the beginning of \
1930 in mind, business men are ?
making very cautious statements as s
1931 gets under way. 1
Notwithstanding their caution 1
there is a note of optimism buried 1
deeply. The majority cannot help 1
out tinge their remarks with hope '
for the New Year. The consensus '
is that the present business depres- |
sion has run longer than the '
erdinary backward cycle and precedent
is due for a turn. :
Factors in which this period dif- '
iers from a year ago are: 1
1. jl tii ui muiiey <x\j iuw i ciico
Cor all purposes including business *
and the stock market. Rates were 3
stiffer a year ago.
2. Complete deflation in com- j
modities, stocks, bonds and industry.
The deflation was only partial
at the end of 1929. ?
3. Buyers have allowed stocks to '
dwindle where they are now operat- 1
ing on a hand to mouth basis so 1
that any demand would immediate- 1
ly bring out orders to the manu- 1
facturers.
4. Comparisons in business will
not have the disadvantage of being
made against 1929, the peak year, as
they did in 1930.
5. Elimination of the weaker elements
in many lines ofy business
through failure or merger. The
field is open for many other mergers
in 1931 which should strengthen
many units.
During the first part of the year,
as in the past, a seasonal pick-up
should be discernible in the steel industry.
There was rather too large
an expansion a year ago and the
"T^TrcTfiru wcl5~" ui&i Krai" ten ing.
If the uptrend in this giant industry
continued into the second
quarter, as many authorities are
now predicting, the whole country
would at once feel the influence of
it. The spring should bring out
buying of automobiles on a large
scale. Railroads are now in the
market for equipment that will keep
steel mills busy for some time.
Building is -expected to advance. All
of these lines work for the benefit
of the steel industry.
Experts in various lines have
pointed out repeatedly that a decline
in business comes much more
rapidly than an advance. Hence it
is not to be expected that the gains
will be of the sensational variety.
Ohsfirvers look for a auiet. irreeular
process, so far as industry is concerned.
The stock market still has many
difficulties to overcome before Jt
can set out on a real advance. It
lacks the support of the small
trader that will not come until a
genuine and protracted rise is under
way. It has not discounted fully
very poor earnings reports that will
come in the middle of this month.
It is still faced with prospects of
divided reductions by many companies
whose earnings have been
impaired.
James J. Phelan of the investment
and commission firm of Hornblower
and Weeks today stated that
better times are ahead in 1931.
"Personally," said Phelan, "I believe
that we have during the last
60 days been turning?though admittedly
slowly, still surely?into
the roiid of better times. The signs
pointing this way are hardly discernible,
but should be quite apparent
sometime during the first six
/vf fV?A nnttr ttqq r ruirllQUC
lUUIitlii? l/i lilt lit vy jtui i nuyu
by early April or May. That the
movement will be in the right direction,
various indices, by which we
judge the future commercially,
point.
"The two great obstacles, that
for some time concerted action to
a market degree has been working
to eliminate, are those of fear and
unemployment. Just so soon as we
may be able to eliminate from the
minds of the American people the
unnecessary fear that seemingly has
possessed a large part of our population
for some time, and we get
the unemployed who are wiling to
work, back to their jobs, our country
as a whole will be well on the way
to normal conditions."
H. Brigman of James H. Oliphant
and Company, stated that "most of
the forecasts of the new year will
probably call for slow, but sure recovery
and perhaps it is one of the
infrequent occasions when the majority
will be right. Something difficult
to reckon with is the emo(Continued

The meeting was opened Monday
norning by Supt. J. Edward Allen
vho expressed the dire need of reief
in Warren county and presented
Vfr. Boshart. The representative
)f Governor Gardner's Council on
anemployment and relief pointed
cut that this relief proposition
would probably extend over a long
period of time and that the State
was not handing out funds wherever
called upon to do so, but was
endeavoring .to relieve the stringent
circumstances by creating jobs for
the unemployed. Pointing to road
work and public building the speaker
urged that committees be appointed
to see if something could
ee done along this line, and urged
that fact finding committees be

Supt. Allen pointed out -that a
fund had been set up to aid 'those
in the drought section and that

right to bid for part of this fund,
in addition to getting other relief
from the State.
