NORMAN. Okla.. Feb. 24—(UR)—
Oklahoma business moved along
at an even pace during January
despite the low agricultural income
and a check in trading activity,
the bureau of business research
bf the University of Oklahoma re-
tailed today In Its monthly survey.
Increased Industrial activity, re-
flected In a rise In employment and
an advance In payrolls, was res-
ponsible for keeping business prov-
ing steadily during the month, the
report said.
Industrial employment in 10
groups of Oklahoma Industries, as
Indicated by a seasonally adjusted
Index, advanced from 99 in Dec-
ember to 103 in January. The pay-
rolls index improved from 90 in
December to 93 for January.
The report pointed out that dur-
ing January business steadied af-
ter showing a downward trend
from September through December.
Except ror industrial activity,
the bureau reported generally un-
favorable conditions.
