By R. H. HIPPELHEUSER
(Associated Press Financial Writer )
NEW VOBK. July S7yP) A sur
vey of Industrial, business and agri
cultural conditions In the United
States shows the forces of recovery
are atlU holding up strong, malting
for less of a summer let-down than
usual.
The largest farm Income since 1928
now la In prospect an Income with
in even greater purchasing power
than TO.
Total cash Income In 1929 was ap
proximately 110,400,000,000 with a
net Income of around 6.1000.000,000.
Economists and statisticians expect
farm income this year to approximate
B.ooo.000.000 with a net of around
tlx billions.
Farmers Prosper.
The "Brooltmlre Counselor" believes
the farmers will be "better able than
they were In 1929 to buy clothln".
furnishings, radios, automobiles, farm
Implements and a multitude of other
goods and equipment. Not slnoe the
abnormal World war period have
farmers been as prosperous as today."
In the Immediate phase, some of
the outstanding "prosperity Items'
s are:
Profits for the first 60 companies
reporting second , quarter earnings
were more than 21 percent above the
comparable period of 193. " Heavy
Industry, steels and rail equipment,
showed the widest gains. -.- - "
The production of electricity reach
ed the highest point on record a
week ago. 1
Steel production was well ahead of
last year.
' Buy New Equipment.
The volume of unfilled orders In
the machine tool Industry, approxi
mating 1929, indicated manufactur
ers were filling their needs for new
equipment.
Inventories generally were lower,
pointing to widespread need of the
renlsoement. .
The Associated Press average of 60
stocks at the close of trading Sat
urday stood at $70.10. compared with
7.90 a year ago. .,
The market reached Its peak for
the year in March, with the aver
age of 175,30. and then, fell to the
years iuw ui
then the long range trend has held
upward.--- ..s - -
For the consumer, the prosperous
era probably will bring a further In
crease In living costs. Rents are up
for fall leases, and merchandisers ex
pect another price rise In the coming
months.
