Industrial Revival Seen by the Federal Reserve Board, Following Slack Summer — Increased Employment Proof (Special to THE FILM DAILY) Washington — The November issue of "The Federal Reserve Bulletin," issued by the Federal Reserve Board, states recent increases in industrial activity from the low level prevailing during the summer mark the first substantial improvement in industry .■^.^ce early in the year. Recession during the first half of 1924, which followed the rapid but unsustained re-<;overy in January, brought the voluiide of production in basic industries by! midsummer to the lowest level s,ince 1922. ' Current production in basic industries, though considerably below the September level of last year, is about 9% above the recent levels of June, July and August. Building operations have followed a course similar to that of production in basic industries. Further evidence of the recent growth in industrial activity is the increase in factory employment in August and September. Volume of trade, as reflected in merchandise sales and railroad shipments, has not shown a dechne during 1924 similar to that of induscnal output. Income of farmers, particularly in the wheat growing regions, is greater than last year, owing to larger crop yields aJid better prices at marketing time. Both winter wheat and spring wheat have been marketed more promptly this year and, owing to a smaller world crop, there has been an increased foreign demand for American wheat. Money income of farmers from the sale of the two principal cash crops will be greater than last year because the larger wheat crop is being sold at considerably higher prices and the lower price of cotton will probably be somewhat more than offset by the increased production. Volume of borrowing for commercial and agricultural purposes at member banks in leading cities increased more rapidly during September and the early part of October than at any time smce the early months of this year and carried the total of these loans to the highest point in three years. Hines in Stage Play Johnny Hines is scheduled to make two more pictures and then appear in a stage play based on a novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
