SUNDAY JULY 23 193
Continued I mprovement Predicted As
RETAIL TRADE
AHEAD OF 1938
Roosevelt Statement
Is Scrutinized
Washington July 32 Re-
ports of sharp business gains this
week were accompanied by an
' upward surge of stock prices and
predictions from government
economists of continued improve-
ment. - Figures showing new 1939
peaks were reached in steel
and power prod action and In
earioadings topped the stotlo-
tieal news. The Associated
Press index of industrial na-
tivity Jumped te 98.4 from It
the previous week sad com-
pared with MJ in the like
. 1111 week.
. Attracting as much or more
attention in the business world
however was a statement from
President Roosevelt that a promi-
nent businessman had told him
that Congress' failure to act on
neutrality was killing the nicest
little business boom you ever saw.
Stocks StUl Gain
Ur Roosevelt's remark at bis
press conference Friday was too
late to have much reflection in
die weeks business picture. How-
ever stocks continued to gain on
the New York Exchange Saturday
in die busiest short session since
April 8.
And it was apparent in Wash-
ington that whatever effect neu-
trality may or may not be hav-
ing on business most administra-
tion economists look for con-
tinuation of the "boom" if that
be die name for it.
The governments record on
current business conditions as
presented by the Department of
Commerce said:
i Mokes Mors
' After allowing for the usual
fluctuation business has
Tn.Hn further progress recently.
Normal mid -Summer dullness
marked retail trade but volumes
in practically all cities . were
iiMit of the comparative period
of 1918. Wholesale purchasing is
much larger than a year ago and
current volumes are indicative
of- a confident attitude
Fall business on the part of
i in dural
toilers. . . Operations In durable-
goods lines were reported far
ahead of those of a year ago.
Far the past several weeks die
stock market usually an im-
portant weather-vane for teada
winds has swung back and forth
Indecisively. And a short time
ago Wall Street indulged in specu-
lation as to .why it had not fol-
lowed die direction of Improving
business. . This ' week however
die market hinted it had made
UP its mind to catch up with
business. Prices on ItoNew York
Stock Exchange spurted piling
up gains of $1 to $8 or sm a
v share. Observers said some trad-
era had probably taken a more
hopeful view of the European
situation. - :
