Railroads: This industry isn’t} stablishing any records so far as! making money is concerned, but! is shown betterment. That is re-| flected in stimulated railroad buy-: ing, During the first five months of this year, freight car purchases were in e: s of the entire y. of 1935. Biggest beneficiary from raiiroad purchasing is steel. Construction: Residential con- tracts are about 60 per cent ahead of the same period last year. Non- lentia! construction also has improved, Future outlook — en- couraging. Retail Trade: Business Week says that a number of mail-order and chain firms broke all records for the month of May this year. Principal progress in the chain* field has been made by the variety chains, which report a 15 per cent gain for the f 1936 over the same period in 193 as compared with a 3 per cent advance for a‘l chains. In- dependent retailers also are doing well. i Steel: Has passed 70 per cent of capacity and, like so many other industries, is more active than at any time since 1930. Outlook is good, with large orders from motors, railroads, utilities and others anticipated. Textiles: Sales nave been in- creasing, with orders ahead of production. This is opposed to seasonal experience, inasmuch as eatly fall is usually the best per- iod for cotton goods. Reason for the change is ascribed to low in- ventories on the part of mer- chants, resulting in a rush to build up their depleted stocks. And so it goes, all down the summer boost to business is going to follow the, bonus payment—a fact that has to be admitted, whether you regard the bonus as being justified or as organized “lobby” victory. Total bonus payment comes to $2,000,000,000, but veterans will not get all this, inasmuch as the bulk of them had borrowed on, their certificates. But cash pay-; ment will exceed a billion dollars,’ and it is estimated that 70 per cent of that will be spent prac- tically at once, with only 30 per cent being held as savings. Real! estate firms, automobiles makers, and all manner of retail goods businesses are prospering as the Baby Bonds are cashed and dis- bursed, So, to some extent, are the leeches who sell worth'ess property, wild-cat stock, ete. Various reputable concerns, seek- ing to protect veterans from such crooks, have run newspaper adds urging bonus recipients to hang on to their bonds whenever pos- sible.
