Business Bright Spots and Red Flags in 1933 Outlook
The report notes stronger cigarette production nine point two percent up from eight months of 1933, building contracts in August thirteen percent higher than August last year, slight steel gains, and a New York metropolitan department store sales rise over seven percent in the first half of September. Yet the index shows a sharp downturn, cotton exports lag, and carloadings disappoint as seasonal uptick should begin. Government policies frighten investment, with officials’ assurances failing to offset growing regulations that confuse industry. Wall Street loses pep despite Eugene R Black’s recovery remark, as investors crave a renewal of confidence from the Administration and less dictation to private enterprise.
