NEW RISE LIKELY
IN PIANO SALES
Higher Prices and Plant Expan
. sion Also Expected tor In
dustry in Coining Year.
Bt the Associated Press.
CHICAfeO, December 88. — With
1936 piano sales the largest in a
decade, L, P. Bull, president of the
National Piano Manufacturers’ Asso
ciation, predicted today e further in
crease in volume, higher prices and
plant expansion of the industry in
1937.
“A continuation of the great sales
volume of 1936 already is assured for
next year.” Bull said, "and such an
Increase will make necessary a larger
production than our present factory
equipment can handle.
“The demand for pianos during
1936 not only exceeded previous years,
but each month was greater than the
preceding one, reflecting the growing i
public demand.”
An increase in piano prices is in
evitable. Bull said. He pointed out
that the Instrument has some 18,000
parts. Various metals, dozens of
kinds of woods, ivory, rubber, felt,
paints and textiles are used. A rise of
only a few cents in each article, he
laid, means much in the total effect
on costs of piano construction. In
addition, other costs also are in
creasing.
Bull reported that piano shipments
Oils year reached their highest level
In many seasons, yet, in the face of
this, the Industry accumulated the
tyggest backlog of unfilled orders ever
reported.

Guaranty Trust Sees Best
Advances Since Start
of Depression.
NEW YORK, December 21.—Term
ing IMS the moet notable recovery
year since the advent of the depres
sion, the Guaranty Trust Go. of New
.York, in its monthly review of busi
ness and finance, today said the period
was .closing with general prospects
more favorable than for some time.
Not only has the general level of
activity during the past 12 months
been the highest in six years, the
survey pointed out, but for the first
time since the beginning of the eco
nomic relapse the trend has been
strongly upward throughout the year.
As the country enters 1937, it was
added, the principal problem it faces
is that of possible overexpansion in
the field of money and credit.
"If the public finances can be
promptly placed on a sound basis,"
the review said, "if the problem of
credit control can be satisfactorily
solved, and if effective co-operation
can be maintained between govern
ment and business, there Is ground
for the confidence with which busi
ness in general apparently views the
outlook for continued recovery.”
I. C. C. Approves
Dividend Issue
For Greyhound
By the Auoc'eted Preu.
The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion today authorised the Greyhound
Corp. to issue $1,050,000 par value 5Va
per cent preferred stock to provide an
extra dividend to owners of Its com
mon stock.
The action was taken by the corpora
tion to evade a surtax of approximately
$300,000, which would have been due
on its undistributed net income.
The payment of the proposed
dividend, the corporation said In Its
original application, compiles with the
purpose of the revenue act of 1936
in that It is expected to result In the
distribution of more than 90 per cent
of the corporation's net earnings this
year.

Boom Atmosphere Appears
as Production Mounts
in Many Lines.
ercclsl Dispatch to Tbs Star.
NEW YORK, December 28.—Busi
ness comes to the close of 1936 with
something of a boom atmosphere
cropping up here and there, says Busi
ness Week. Production in several
consumer industries like cigarettes,
household appliances, rayon, shoes, as
well as producer industries like chem
icals, Diesel power, petroleum and elec
tric power has reached new tops. Btock
and commodity prices have reached
the highest levels in at least a dozen
years. Employment and pay rolls
are expanding. Relief rolls have been
reduced, but not so much as the ex
pansion of industry would seem to
justify. Business defaults have
reached the lowest marks since the
boom days of 1920.
Steel operations this week slowed
down (or one of the few holidays ob
served in the Industry, but the month
as a whole will be the best of the year.
This year’s output of approximately
47,000,000 tons, a 40 per cent increase
over 1935, represents the best results
since 1929, and the third best in the
history of the industry.
Railroads Get Jolt.
The I. C. C. has jolted the railroads
by refusing to grant the plea for con
tinuation of freight surcharges after
December 31. An estimated increase
of 5 to 10 per cent will be required to
make up for the loss of $10,000,000
monthly revenue, and judging from
current trends of loadings in bulky
commodities chiefly affected by the
rate surchages the roads will manage.
So far there have been no indications
that the dismay of the roads has
led to any cancellation ot equipment
orders.
Motor plants are worried about the
labor situation in their parts supply
plants, which may cause serious in
terruptions In assemblies. Some steel
mills report postponement of sheet
and strip orders from motor centers.
Assemblies may not reach the 500,000
mark expected this month. Neverthe
less, the year will close with the great
est volume of cars produced since
1939.
Motor registrations in 1936 are ex
pected to reach 28,500.000, a new high,
surpassing the former peak of 1930
by 2,000,000.
Trade Failures Down.
Commercial failures have declined
as the business curve has been rising,
dropping to little more than 9.000
this year against 11,510 in 1935. One
has to go back to 1920 to find a lower
figures for failures and to 1919 to find
a smaller amount of liabilities In
volved In failures than the current
estimated total of $145,000,000. That
193S marks the bottom of the default
curve, and that 1937 will see the up
ward swing begin, is now expected.
Enterprises which have come into ex
istence during recent years of rapidly
rising volume and prices may find it
more difficult to hold on in the com
ing period of more slowly expanding
business.
Construction activity jumped more
than 50 per cent over 1935, but fell
short of the 1930 total despite this
substantial gain. As in the preceding
year, home construction has featured
the market, running 70 per cent ahead
of 1935. Non-residential construc
tion, especially of an industrial nature,
has revived sharply, but the backlog
of needed construction Is still sub
stantial.
That the campaign for Increasing
the use of incandescent lamps has
borne fruit is apparent from the report
that sales this year will set a new high
of 880,000.000, a 19 per cent gain over
last year’s peak. Because such in
creased volume made certain produc
tion economies possible, two large
manufacturers have announced price
cuts on some of the larger lamps

RETAIL TRADE UP
12 T014 PER CENT
Substantial Increase Above
1935 Levels Reported by
Standard Statistics.
•peeiai Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, December 2*.—In its
weekly summary of the general busi
ness situation, the Standard Statistics
Co. of New York currently comments
as follows:
“Holiday trade in department stores
and specialty shops has run from 12
to 14 per cent ahead of. 1935,.at ap
proximately, the- levels of 1930. In
clement weather and disturbed labor
conditions Jn certain cities' helped to
restrict the gain'for the first 10 days
of the month to 10 per cent, thereby
cutting down the possibility of realiz
ing the previously more optimistic es
timates for the month’s business.
After that, however, the rate of in
crease was materially greater.
"Not only did sales continue to ex
pand, but price trends were also fa
vorable and gave evidence of continu
ing so for the next few months. Re
tail prices as of December 1 were the
best since July of 1931 and about 3.2
per cent above those on the cor
responding date last year. Wholesale
prices for finished products, mean
while, although beginning to move up
ward, were only slightly above those
at the beginning of the year.
“Furthermore, in anticipation of the
probable uptrend of wholesale prices,
department stores began to increase
their inventories of staple mer
chandise. As a result of this and the
fact that higher sales volume requires
larger stocks, inventories at the fiscal
year end on January 31, 1937, will
probably be considerably above those
at the previous fiscal year end in the
majority of stores.
“The steady heavy volume, however,
has helped in keeping stocks clear and
the percentage of old goods should
be considerably smaller, thereby aid
ing prospective profits.
“The general outlook for retail trade
is bright. In the final analysis, retail
trade volumes are governed by the
trend of consumer purchasing power,
which, at the present time, is headed
definitely higher. For this reason,
earnings of well-managed stores should
expand considerably further in 1937.”

EARNINGS MOUNT
Steady Improvement Likely
to Continue Next Year,
Poor’s Reports.
8peclal Dispatch to Tho Star.
NEW YORK, December 28.—The
satisfactory earnings improvement
experienced by agricultural machinery
and Implement manufacturers gener
ally during 1936 should continue in
1937, according to a new report ap
pearing in Poor’s industry and Invest
ment surveys.
This is predicated on the *9,530,
000,000 farm income estimated for
1936, as against *7,000,000,000 in 1935,
on the advancing prices of agricultural
produce and on the substantial po
tential replacement demand, built up
through the depression years by sub
normal buying.
xne optimistic outlook for 1937
Is brightened still further by the
advance in foreign sales,” the report
states.
‘‘Normally accounting for about
one-fifth of the total business, fanr
machinery exports rose 29.5 per cer
during the first nine months of 193
as compared with the same period c
the preceding year. Of particuk
import was the 40 per cent gain i
September, 1936, exports, whii
amounted to $3,807,000. Even mo:
significant was the fact that expor.
of tractors and parts accounted fc
69 per cent of the September, 193 J
figure.
“In the domestic picture agricul
tural machinery manufacturers ar
doubtless feeling the adverse effect
of the 1936 drought. The extent to
which sales, and consequently profit.-,,
have been reduced from drought
stricken areas is Indeterminable.
However, with farmers' cash Income
in October, 1936, mounting to $886,
000,000, or nearly 18 per cent in
excess of that indicated for September,
total sales should remain well above
1935 levels.”
