BY ROGER W. BABSON. Special Dispatch to The Star. BABSON PARK, Fla, March 14.— “Has the business improvement th started last November run itself out?” Many people are asking me this question. They want to know why . | retail trade is not better in many sec- tions when the chart, which reflects general buginess conditions, is going up 50 much. They see where general business was 2 per cent below normal ago as compared with per cent above normal today. Yet many industries are still quiet and the business men of many communi- ties are still doing no better than were a year ago. are several reasons for this urrent period of business im- ent. The first is in the view- point of the business men. Wrong Yardstick Used.

Hence we must wait until consumption catches up with production. This development may take some years. The present difficulty is that peo- ple expect a too rapid recovery. Even though the corner has turned, it should be remembered that we were five years in the process of inflation. Hence, it would not be surprising if we are to be five years or even longer the process of readjustment which t follow.

The second reason for current dull- ness in some lines is the direct re- sult of bad weather which certain sections of the country have suffered the past Winter. The weather was generally good everywhere until about the middle of January, when a how STAR, WASHINGTON, Babson Calls Let-U pin Trade [ o s o three days with an average temper- ature of 55 degrees. Retail Buying Slows Up. Weather affects business in several ways: First, it makes it dificult for people to get out and buy. We talk about ‘captains of industry' and ‘big business,’ but these are helplessly in the hands of the ultimate consumer. When the women of the country stop buying within 30 days the merchants, the jobbers and the manufacturers must stop. Retail buying was greatly retarded the past month and has had its reaction upon busines: Bank clearings, car loadings other fmportant business barometers show a dent due to this month of unseasonable weather. Not only Is buying retarded by bad ther, but transportation and tribution are likewise checked. erything is delayed from the mai to the freights. Wires get down, in- terfering with telegraph and phone communication, while both passenger and freight trains are late This not only delays the delivery of passengers and finished merchandise but causes shutdowns of factories for want of coal, raw materials or this | and || tele- | | D.
