Business Activity
Facing 1940 Test,
Bank Survey Says
Some Letdown Early
In Year Forecast
In A. B. A. Review
Bv EDWARD C. STONE.
"Business continues at a gooc
level” says the official November sur
vey of the American Bankers’ Associ
ation, “but the test will come aftei
the first of the year. Experience
and, to some extent, statistical evi
dence indicate that the autumn anc
early winter pace will not carry very
far into 1940.
“War buying may provide some
thing of a cushion, but any period
of recovery that has progressed at
quickly as this one will need a little
while to catch its breath,” the sur
vey continues.
“The real basis for advance is stil!
domestic demand, particularly foi
capital goods. Railway equipment
plant expansions, new construction
increased automobile output and or
ders for new machinery are keeping
the steel mills going at a high rate
Most purchasers are asking for early
delivery, indicating that this is noi
a case of buying up supplies in an
ticipation of higher prices.”
The survey adds, however, that
"business is getting back to sobei
reality after an attempt to concen
trate on the war and forget about
the skeleton in the closet, a case ol
out of sight out of mind.”
The publication's cross index ol
business opinion shows a slight de
cline from that of the previous
month. Of the bankers polled. 61
per cent said that business was get
ting better, 28 per cent found con
ditions about static, and 10 per cenl
reported a decline. In the previous
month, 65 per cent said business di
rection was up. 26 per cent reportec
a steady level, and 9 per cent re
ported a downward trend.
Bank Assets Reach New Peak.
Assets of the Nation's national
banks on October 2 were the highest
in the history of the system, totaling
$34,684,676,000. the controller of the
currency announces.
This represented an increase ol
$1,504,098,000 over the assets reported
on June 30, last, and an increase ol
$3,973,730,000 over the figure at end
of September of last year.
Total deposits, amounting to $30,
980.693.000. were also higher by $1,
511.224,000 than the deposits report
ed on June 30. last, and $3,876,812.
000 more than in September last
year.
Total loans and discounts as ol
October 2 were $8,764,106,000, the
controller reported. This represented
an increase of $190,493,000 from
June and an increase of $465,592,000
from September. 1938.
Mead Bill Delay Predicted.
The latest Mead bill for small
business loans is receiving strong
administration support, and officials
are planning to seek special consid
eration for it early next session
However, because of an unusual situ
ation which exists on Capitol Hill
regarding banking legislation, in
which category the small loan issue
has been placed, says the Wall Street
Journal, there is likelihood that all
measures in this field will be delayed
until 1941.
The Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee was directed bj
the Senate to conduct a broad study
into banking and credit with a view
to determining governmental policy
and recommending legislation t<
carry the policy forward. Senatoi
Wagner, chairman of the committee
specifically included the small loar
proposal as a part of this broad study
some time ago. This study with the
necessary public hearings, it is be
lieved. will take all of the next ses
sion, which would delay actual bank
ing legislation until the 1941 Con
press
New Clubs Open Thursday.
The 1940 Christmas Savings Clubs
will be opened by 15 Washingtor
banks next Thursday, November 30
It was stated in the financial dis
trict today. These clubs are launchec
every year on the last day of No
vember, the date this year falling
on the “second Thanksgiving Day.'
Within the next 10 days the banks
in the Capital will distribute be
tween $4,500,000 and $5,000,000 ir
Christmas Savings Club funds tt
this year's members. This Yuletids
money will go to 79.000 members anc
will be an important factor in th<
volume of holiday trade in th<
stores.
Bankers predicted today that thf
1940 clubs will have at least as
many members as the 1939 clubs
registered. Owing to particular^
favorable economic conditions here
it is forecast that the amount sub
scribed will exceed the record ai
the beginning of 1939. On accounl
of the bookkeeping involved, a fev
of the banks will not maintain clubs
in 1940.
Popularity of the clubs in subur
ban banks spread rapidly in 193J
and is expected to go much furthei
next year.

The Associated Gas & Electric
Co., through the New York-Pennsyl
vania-New Jersey Utilities Co., a
principal sub-holding subsidiary, has
applied to the Reconstruction Fnanoe

the largest ever asked of the R. F. C.
by a private utility, it was learned
today.
The big associated gas system is
asking the loan to pay the balance
of back taxes due the Federal Gov

the company said, the money will
be used as follows:
1. To pay the Federal Govern
ment $3,245,000 owed by the Asso
ciated Gas & Electric Corp. as the
balance of the corporation's taxes.
2. To pay off $2,535,000 owed by
the General Gas & Electric Co. to
the Government in settlement of
its tax bill.
3. To redeem at maturity the
Associated Gas & Electric Corp.s
8 per cent bonds due March 15, 1940;
there are $8,500,000, face value, of
these bonds outstanding, of which
$6,053,000 is held by the public, the
balance being held within the sys
tem.
4. New construction and improve
ment of the system’s plant facilities,
extension of transmission lines,
and other construction aggregating
around $12,000,000.
Profiteers Penalized
Four Paris tradesmen convicted
of profiteering in electric lamps,
gummed paper and cheese, in addi
tion to paying a fine, were ordered to
display the text of the Judgment In
their shops.

British Embassy Fixes
Charge for Navicerts
By the Associated Press.
The British Embassy announced
today that the charge for navicerts
had been provisionally fixed at $2
except for those covering consign- !
ments of more than 1.000 tons.
These will cost $8.
i Navicerts is a sort of commercial
passport which American shippers
may obtain from British Consulates I
before consigning cargoes to neu- 1
! tral nations. If a consulate finds a
cargo “unobjectionable" it will issue
a navicert. This is designed to
eliminate further inspection and
delay at sea or in a foreign port.
Lithuania and Spain were added
today to the list of countries to
which shipments covered by navi
certs may be made. The list also
includes Belgium. Denmark. Es
tonia, Finland. Iceland, Italy, Lat
via, Netherlands, Norway and
Sweden.

By VICTOR EUBANK,
AwoctaV’rt Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—Recently
wavering rails worked up a little
rallying steam today and encouraged
buying in other selected stock mar
ket issues. *
The list slipped at the start, but
firming tendencies of the carriers
soon halted the light selling move
and initial losses of fractions to
around a point were transformed
into gains of as much in many cases
near the fourth hour.
The recovery shift was attributed
in part to the belief of some
technicians that at least a temporary
upturn was in the cards because of
the notable drying up of offerings
in the past week or so.
Tax doubts still permeated finan
cial quarters, however, and some *
traders were said to have restricted
commitments because of the failure
of European war purchases to come
up to previous expectations and to
the possibility the intensified sea
warfare might interfere with ship
ment of orders already placed. Busi
ness news, though, remained an
encouraging factor, and the idea
seemed to be growing that a pos
sible recession next spring might
be relatively minor.
Stocks given support included
Southern Railway common and
preferred, New York Central. Great*
Northern, Loft. General Electric,
U. S. Steel. Chrsyler, Douglas Air
craft, Curtiss-Wright. North Amer
ican and American Smelting.
Inclined to lag were International
Harvester. Standard Oil of N. J.,
U. S. Rubber. Du Pont, Allied Chem- -
ical and Sears-Roebuck.
Tilting forward in the curb were
Grumman Aircraft. Lockheed. Alu
minum of America and American
Cyanamid "B. ’
Chrysler was bolstered by hopes
this company's labor stalemate,
nearing its second month, would be
settled before the end of the week.
The dispute, at the same time, con
tinued as a general market depres
sant.
Although actual figures were un
available, liquidation of American
stocks and bonds from abroad was
reported proceeding at the rate of
about $1,000,000 a day. Brokers *
suggested this provided one of the
principal market brakes.
Estimates that October probably
was the best earnings month for the
railroads since 1930 did much to re
vive interest in shares of favored
transportation lines.
Helpful was the statement of the
National Association of Purchasing
Agents that inventories, while
larger than a month ago, still are
not burdensome and are unlikely to
become so.
