HEAVY INDUSTRIES

NEW YORK. Sept. 17-CBy A.
PD-Reports received in financial

past week indicate that the heavy
industries are making better re-
covery from the effects of the

steel industry which falls in the
lowest class Of priority, is now re-

percent Of capacity instead of the

in and the trade expects all OF Au-
