.USSR INDUSTRY
SHOWS new CAIN
Smaller Than Jan. But
Beats 1923 Record

Soviet industrial production suf-
fered decline during the month of
February from the record totals at
tanned in January, it was stated by
Amtorg today. The decline in pro-
duction was due both to the smaller
number of days in the month and to
the severe weather conditions, which
interfered to some extent with the
operations of certain industries. In
dustrial output was, however, con-
siderably above that of February,
1928, according to cable reports re-
ceived here.
Coal production for February
1929, totaling 3,236,000 metric tons,
was 8 per cent above that of a year
ago. The output of oil of 90S,000
tons increased IL per cent. Pig
iron production amounting to 301,-
300 metric tons gained ID per cent.
The cotton cloth output totaled $780,
012,00S meters in February, 1929
showing an increase of 61a per cent
over February 1928.
Soviets exports across European
frontiers during February taaled
48,700,000 rubles and imports 3d.
100000 rubles, making a favorable
trade balance for the month of H.
100000 rubles. The foreign trade
turnover for the first five months of
the current fiscal year beginning
Ootober 1, 1928, shows a favorable
trade balance of 24,2O0,OO0 rubles, as
against an adverse trade balance of
31,600,000 rubles in the first five
months of the fiscal year 1929.

this way the entire organism is re-

II DAYS. DROUGHT
MAY END SOON
Warm and ShoWery Weather
Forecast-Bureau Records
Broken by Dry Spell.

Washington has had no rainfall for
the past II days. the longest August
droughts ince 1892. when a dry spell
of the same duration was experienced,
the records at the Weather Bureau
here showed today. In figures, the IT.
day drought together with the previous
scarcity of rain means that the Capital
has had a rainfall Of only PA inches
from July until midnight last night,
while the normal fall for that period
is 1885 inches.
The present drought might be broken
tomorrow night, however, for forecast
perature due to reach the city tonight
and the cloudiness scheduled to reach
here tomorrow. will bring showers by
tomorrow night.
The Weather Bureau records show
that all of the rain which has fallen
here since July 10 fell in two showers,
with % inches July "a and IS inches
August 8. The remainder of the 214
inches since the first of July fell during
the first 10 days Of that month. Mean
while no rain sufficient to record itself
has fallen since August 8.
Consulting the bureaus records. Of
ficials listed several similar dry spells
for the months of July and August In
1881, that 62-day period had fall of
only 2.74 inches. other light rain fall
totals for the two months were 376
inches in 1898, Ala inches in 1894, 353
inches in 1900, 4.39 inches in 1902 and
407 inches in 1909. These railfallS are
considered light, in view of the fact that
S.72 inches is the normal fall for the
full two months.
The Weather Bureau officials point
out that while the current drought Is
comparatively long. 1t is not neces-
sarily the most serious dry spell of the
year round. October and November,
they say, are the driest months on the
calendar. One of the longest dry spells
on record was registered in 1884, when
only 2:S8 inches fell during August,
