    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

Oats met good support at times and
rose with other grains. The large via
