1924 Unsettled; Mid-Year Rally, Says Bradstreet’s Features of Year Were Flat tering Bond Flotations and Prices by Cheap Money. The year Just ended was one of un settled business conditions. In which a rally followed a severe midyear slump, according to Bradstreet’s re ytew of 1924, Issued Friday. The review Is optimistic regarding tbe prospects for 1925. and declares that "seldom, if ever, has confidence as to the future been so manifest as at present.” .Among features of the last year noted tn the review are the flatten ing. of bond flotations and prices by cheap money and tax exemptions; smaller railroad traffic, despite eco nomies of operation; the turn of busi ness sentiment with the arrival of higher prices for grains, and the creeping bull stock market. False Start Made. Tn reviewing the happenings affect ing business affairs In 1924, a great deal depends upon the angle front which events in that many-sided year arc approached. From a purely trade standpoint, it seemed during a good part of the year that something like a Start had been made and that it was necessary to make another try in midyear. .JFrorn a manufacturing point of view the year's results were extreme ly Irregular, because operations, which, except in some textile lines, had early been at a fairly full pace, by midyear had fallen off so as to resemble an acute industrial depres sion, exceeded in recent years only in the dark days of December, 1920, with all that that implies as to un digested supplies of products and de pressed prices. From this there was a slow but steady recovery on which the slack pace of midsummer was taken up, with the result that early spring per centages of operation were equaled or surpassed. From an agricultural viewpoint, too. the first half of the year was more or less of a loss, with most products depressed, and with the marks “of recently preceding ’ ears of depression written large in a volume of western bank failure qn cquuied since 1893. Rally Marvelous. The last half of the year was, how ever, perceptibly different, and the rally shown in yields, prices and fa vorable net returns to ho grain, and particularly the wheat farmer, was nothing short of marvelous. From the angle of the stock and bond and foreign exchange markets, however, the year really turned out to be a period of a creeping bull market In which railroad stocks continued the improvement which began in 1923; hond quotations fattened on easv money, and a very general all aronud improvement in tho world's cur rencies was scored. From a railroad point of view a slightly reduced traf fic and lessened gross earnings were so conserved that expenses were heavily reduced, and a riel operating Income promising to differ little from that of the calendar year 1923 was registered. The great gain here was really scored when railroad bait ing was discouraged by the election. In some directions. Indeed, as in fi nancial lines, vtho Improvements seemed a heritage of 1923, and ante dated tho trade and industrial turn for the better in midyear enough to show that the stock and bond mar ket* had foretold tho later gain in business. Once more was illustrated tho fact, often before noted, that a calendar year balancing of business is something in the nature of an arbi trary proceeding, whereas a fiscal or cereal or crop year period has enough natural elements about It to commend it to trade observers, if not to those business men who, «s a rule, end their year in midwinter. Crop Season Trying. The slump In trade and industry and the snowstorm of bank and other failures in the first half of the year did not sum up the full list of un favorable happenings. The crop sea son as a whole proved a rather trying one, and the heavy loss In the corn drop, the leading animat food, with the later sacrifice of Immature hogs and cattle because of the high prices of feeding grain, proved a two-edged sword to those not engaged In wheat or other small grain culture, while ' holding promise of higher prices for meats for the coming year. The corn grower, speaking of him collectively, found some compensation In the vast ly higher price paid for the lessened yield and poor quality of his crop, but the cotton and potato growers took very much lower prices for their largely Increased output. The factory hand and the coal miner certainly did not do very well—witness the Idle ness of the cotton and other textile mill operatives and the low price with reduced output Of bituminous coal. The reduction In the volume of employment was worst at midyear, but evidences of It were found late in' December In smaller payrolls and re duced opportunity to labor. The year closed with optimism ruling, with a stock mnrket unap firoachcd for breadth and strength since the boom days of 1901, when the Industries of the country, as ‘the saying was, “entered the block Exchange," with Industries getting bade to approximately full time, ami with tho farmer’s return, again col lectively speaking, the beet since ISft. A statement of the moving ^MSMr and an apportionment of the Brtdlt for these Improvements seem to searve at least passing notice. Three Dig eKature*. IJThree really big favorable develop papnta of the year stand well out In ally review of 1924. These were the faport and subsequent adoption of |fas plana of the reparations commit fSe, ,ths fortuitous combination of large American grain crops (corn ex cepted), with short yields in prac tically all other countries, and the f-tlon of November, which set the I of popular approval upon con vative ideas of government anfl ffyote off so-called progresslvlsm as a doubtful political asset. The find tfgmed of these Jhree causes may be f£ld to have hurried forward the Mswierly slow healing of the wound* ISkfered by the world’s currencies, second demonstrated that the country’s baslo industry, farming, was not played out, while the third seemed To have fired charge that shook the stock market out of its deliberate forward pace, awakened the spiirt of speculation and of enter prise, and made safe for a while the position of the country’s business interests, which now apparently do not dread, as they did a while ago, legislative assaults of congressional "witch doctors” and "medicine men.” With every disposition to give cred it to our countrymen who worked to bring about the stabilization of the exchange market, or those who at election time set their faces firmly toward conservative men and meth ods, we think it only fair to say that some Eusopean countries previous to 1924 had already taken stands in fa vor of betterment of the exchange markets. Great Britain never did pander to the permanently cheap money idea; Austria, with foreign ala, It is trut. untedated Germany's efforts to emerge from the morass of cheap money, while Italy two years ago chose conservatism in preference to the soviet doctrine of treating your neighbor's property as your own. As regards the rise in wheat prices and the big exports to which many give credit for the great rally, one feels inclined to thank nature and the prov erbial luck of the United States for tho enhancement of our crops at a time when foreign crops were heavily reduced. In 1891 a similar dispensa tion favored America, that time main ly at the expense of Russia, which today, as then, suffers from famine, not entirely, as then, a work of na ture, but partly of hare brained men led by designing knaves masquerad ing as administrators of a so-called super-advanced state. Wheat Advance Helped. Of these three big features having a stimulating effect up n business, it would seem as if the weight evidence leans to the belief that the seven months’ advance In wheat prices cut the most effective figure. Dollar, or dollar and a half, or two dollar wheat is something ‘which probably the average American un derstands better than he does ex change rates or the rise or fall of so called people's governments. That this advance in wheat did a great deal to heal the scars of past specula tion or of overbanking in the north west and other sections is now con ceded. That it powerfully aided the party in power seems no less certain That tho hign wheat price contains some element.-i of danger for the fu ture if it results in another expansion in wheat areas seems just an true, but that it helped greatly ir. pulling a large part of the western country out of a V3ry bad economic situation I inherited ftorn high war and post-war [l tlces Is beyond question, even if i!.o reports indicate, as they do, that tWat section of the country is taking its good fortune calmly and paying its oebts, while buying rather carefully of new mermandise. Emerging from a period of irreg ular, in most cases disappointing, trade and Industry—a year of only fair volume as a whole In fact— and standing out most prominently when the future is under discus sion, is l be. markedly optinjistic feeling bred of the excellent rally shown from the depression of the midyear of 1924. Seldom, if over at this season, has confidence as to tho future been so manifest, and taking things by and large, rarely has the evidently excellent progress made In the line of recuperation and repair seemed to furnish a bet ter foundation for this confidence. In fact, considering tho almost uniformly favorable feeling at the threshold of 1925, the question nat urally presents Itself whether there Is not in this very optimism a like lihood of things being seen ln such a roseate light that some disap pointment la possible, If not Indeed probable. It would be lnexpendient not to recall that there are still some problems to be met and solved even If the exchange situation, which has such a close bearing upon our export trade, has been partially mended. It needs to be remembered that some "fretful realms” may metaphorically speaking, throw a wrench into the machinery. Also, the marten of high rost* of all business has certainly not. been settled satisfactorily to all concern ed, and if we are to get a. foreign trade outlet for other things than grain and cotton, particularly our surplus production of manufactured goods, the problem of price* must still be met. This trouble will also be encountered when our business men go out to get domestic trade after a year when piecement buy ing was exalted to the extent it was. It is a hopeful augury that the iron and steel industry, often a very good barometer of trade, has almost a full quarter's capacity sold ahead, and it is an additional comfort that the country's grain growing famers have had a. good year after several poor ones. De spite predictions of a decline in building, there seems to have been an immense arrearage of work car ried over into the new year. The railroads promise to be free spend ers in the work of keeping abreast of the expanding needs of the coun try. If these four great industries and the stock market movement arc to be esteemed good guides, and numerous reports of large un dertakings involving big expendi tures and furnishing work for n large part of the population are correct, earning capacity should be excellent, once favorable weather ar rives in the spring. All in all, the prospect for the half year to come seems very good. Beyond this the careful may hesitate to predict, pending a clearer view of foreign and domestic happenings still to bo disclosed to the business world.

Wheat Makes Gain After Session of Erratic Swings Market Resists All Pressure Quite Well; Corn Meets Timely Support and Moves Upward. By IHAKI.KS J. JJ5VDKX. I l nJvernal Service Staff i orrewpondent. Chicago, dan. 9.—Wheat emerged with sharp gains today after a session of er ratic awing*. The fluctuations, however, were In higher ground throughout and the market resisted all pressure quite well. Firmer Liverpool cables and indi cations of r broadening mill demand for wheat In this country appeared to be back of the advance. Hea\y world ship ments failed to cast a depressing influ ence over foreign market*. Wh**at closed a*c to 14c higher; corn was 4 to 4c higher; oats vrero 4 to So higher, and rye ruled 14 to ISc ad vanced. ♦Outside interest In the wheat pit hah heen simmering considerably «.f late, and this explains much of the choppy price move# Thai support is pers'stent on the dips, however, was strikingly reflected In today's trading. A house with eastern connections took most of the surplus offerings out of the pit in the early reac tion. The seaboard confirmed moderate sales of wheat and rye. Norway took a cargo of rye while Russia was credited with buying two cargoes of flour. Broomhall atate'l *5** Portugal was in the market for *,000.000 bushels wheat. Liverpool prices were up 4 to % pence Rt the last. J orn met timely support through com mission houses and locale on the dips and gradually moved upward. There was much bear argument heard on thia grain t-ut the cash demand seemed fairly active and shipping Paled Improved. The move ment of corn from the country la not wen *' an<i bupplles seemed to be carried Oats met good support at times and rose with other grains. The large via ble supply seems to be the onlv restrain ng factor in this grain but the trade is looking forward to a steedily larger f«sh levSla* anti ultirnate|y higher price There was fairly large export buying n rye. especially jn the lat* trading, and this grain advanced with others.
