lowing is a summary of important cor
poration news prepared by the Stand

the Associated Press.
News Trend.
october production of automobiles
and trucks in the United States and
Canada is estimated at l56,743 units
by National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce. This outturn is 1922 per
cent less than in September and GOA
per cent under same month last year.
Increased activity during the month by
some manufacturers who introduced
new models was offset by further con-
traction of output by Ford and several
other companies. With, the unusual
caution prevalent in the trade, induced
by sluggish retail demand, further cur
tailment of operations is likely. For
full year 1880 an output of 100000 is
indicated, drop of about 40 per cent
from 1929
Chain store sales in October, Judging
by the results so far reported showed
very little change in trend from the
preceding month. Aggregate receipts
of 20 leading companies for the month
were 81 per cent under 1929 period.
while comparison of about same units
in September showed similar decline.
For the 10 months, sales of these same
systems decreased Id per cent from
