Brookmire Service Stresses
Sharp Recent Gains in
D. C. Trade.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.
General business conditions In
Washington, Maryland and Virginia
for the next six months should be
"good," according to a survey jifct
completed by Brookmire, relating par
ticularly to sales prospects and the
credit outlook.
The Brookmire service calls especial
attention to the recent gain here of
13 per cent in bank debits, compared
with the like period in 1936, to an
Increase of 14 per cent in retail trade
and a jump of 43 per cent in building
activity.
Turning to a group of Eastern
States which includes Maryland and
West Virginia, the forecast presents
an estimate that consumers’ incomes
In the next six months will be 18
per cent ahead of the like period
last year. Incomes from manufactur
ing in April rose to the highest level
since 1929, but such incomes will
probably stabilize for some months
around current levels, the survey says,
adding that this will probably reduce
percentage gains over last year.
Prospects in Nparby Areas.
Referring further to Maryland and
adjoining States, the forecast says that
farmers' incomes in April were 18
per cent above last year, but these
gains will probably narrow in the
remainder of the year. April build
ing volume widened, as did output of
electricity. A good level of business
is in prospect, though gains should
narrow for some months.
Looking at Virginia and the Caro
linas and other Southern States, the
survey says that consumer income in
the next six months is estimated at
19 per cent better than a year ago.
Farm income is estimated to reveal a
better gain than that from other
sources. Cotton acreage is larger in
most States, with crop conditions
good. Farm income in March was 81
per cent above last year. “Trade
volume is now good, with the out
look improving," the forecast con
cludes.
In Maryland in April, the report
says, bank debits were up 16 per cent,
life insurance sales 23 per cent, elec
tricity production 2 per cent, building
27, pay rolls 25. passenger auto regis
trations dropped 12 per cent and
trucks 8, farm income was up 47 per
cent, gasoline consumption 17, cement !
shipments 50, while there was a 22 !
per cent decrease in business fail
ures.
Virginia Debits Soar.
Virginia oaniv aeons in April were
up 19 per cent, life insurance sales 9,
electricity production 20, building 37,
cotton spinning hours 9, pay rolls, 25,
passenger car registrations 7 and
trucks 3. farm income 45, gasoline
consumption 32, cement shipments 20
end business failures 30 per cent
higher than a year ago, the survey
announces, the conclusion being
reached that a "stabilizing tendency
is likely to prevail in consumer income
over the next several months” and
that "satisfactory trade outlets should
be found in all sections of the coun
try.”
Corporate earnings, which have al
ready established notable gains, can
be expected to record further substan
tial progress, and basic economic con
ditions indicate that business expan
sion will follow a temporary Summer !
low, according to Brookmire, despite i
recent, wage costs, as the use of more j
efficient machinery, now being bought (
in record amounts, and increasing !
busines activity both tend to reduce
unit costs.
Hamilton Votes Dividend.
Directors of the Hamilton National
Bank, meeting yesterday, declared a
dividend of 50 cents per share on the
outstanding stock, payable August 2,
to stockholders of record on July 23.
The board also authorized a transfer
of $25,000 to surplus.
Sidney F. Taliaferro, trust officer
of the Riggs National Bank, will ap
pear on the program at the joint an
nual convention of the Virginia and
West Virginia State Bankers’ Associa- '
tions, at White Sulphur Springs, later
this month. According to the pro
gram he will conduct a round table dis
cussion on trust matters. The con-i
vention dates are June 24, 25 and 26.
Joshua Evans jr„ vice president of
the Hamilton National Bank, is plan
ning to attend the same convention
and it is anticipated that several other
Washington bankers will be present.
It is the first joint meeting the two
State associations have planned. Some
800 financiers and guests are expected.
Crowley Reports Bank Merger.
Chairman Leo T. Crowley of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. an
nounced today that the Farmers &
Mechanics’ Trust Co., Cape Charles,
Va., with deposits of $1,261,400, has
been taken over by the Northampton
County Trust Co, at Cape Charles.
Tire merger is in line with other merg
ers arranged by the Federal authori
ties without any loss to depositors,
five such consolidations being com
pleted during the past month in the
insurance corporation's campaign to
eliminate unnecessary or uneconomic
banks.
Numerous visitors’ attractions of the
Nation's Capital have been publicized
In a 52-page tour book issued by the
Aetna Casualty & Surety Co. of Hart
ford, Conn. Distribution of this book,
"Aetna Pleasure Trails.” is expected
to reach a Nation-wide total of 100,000
copies during 1937 and bring to the
attention of thousands of people the
many points of interest in this
Vicinity.

NEW YORK. June 9.—Although
Wall Street's will appeared paralyzed
by strike news today, traders found
energy to bid up specialties and ship
building issues fractions to a point
or so.
Declines of fractions to around a
point for the general list reflected con
tinuance of the seven-State steel
strike, the power strike in the Saginaw
Valley of Michigan and threats of a
strike in the silk industry, brokers
said.
Stocks started narrow, rose unevenly
and then paced back. Frequently dur
ing the afternoon the stock ticker
sputtered to a complete stop.
Transactions totaled about 650.000
shares.
