Favorable Comparisons in September US Trade
Bradstreet’s notes a generally favorable September for US trade compared with a year ago. Early fall 1928 activity rose, crops benefited from rains, wheat prices remained irregular, cotton declined while textile demand held firm. Iron and steel and motor trades weakened, but heavy metal orders for railroads countered lighter item slumps. Wool stocks fell, silk use rose, August shoe output set records, and stock liquidation eased money rates with call loans around 5 percent. Foreign exchange strengthened, sterling near 1928 July highs.
