UPTURN IN BUSINESS
SEEN BY STEEL FIRM
Turning Point Has Been Reached,
Says Report Of Financial
Committee.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated RreSS.
NEW YORK, July 30.-The United
States Steel Corporation believes the
turning point in its business has been
ing the balance of the year.
That was the substance OF a sbrief
statement from the Finance Committee
yesterday, which accompanied the sec
ond quarterly statement showing net
profit equal to $500 a share of common,
compared to $3.44 in previous quarter
and 1888 share in the June quarter
of 1929, when a psace-time record was
made. The net income of So, 126,717, q
quarter Of the year, confirmed expecta-
tons in financial circles, where the con-
senSuS was that earnings would approx
innate So share
The terse statement of the Finance
Committee on the business outlook
read lat this date the manufacturing
plants are operating SO per cent of ca
pacity. Indications in the industry
point to an increase in this rate of OPP
erations during the balance of this
quarter, with an improvement In volume
during the last quarter"
The optimistic outlook was viewed in
Wall Street as one which provided adj
ditional support to the rather widely
held view that business has ebbed to
about its lowest point in the current re-
cession with gradual improvement ex-
pected to follow.
With the annual dividend of 81 nearly
earned in the first six months, there had
been some conjecture as t. the posi-
bility that directors would declare an
extra dividend of 81. In view of the
known conservative policy of the man
agement, however, and present business
conditions such statement is consid-
cred unlikely.

HIGHER IMPORT DUTIES
ARE PLANNED BY SPAIN
BY the Associated Press.


Spain seeks to strengthen its cur
rency and trade balance through i'm
portant increases in import duties de-
signed to curtail importations, the Com
merce Department has been advised.
These increases became effective by a
royal decree of July %, 1880, and apply
to the products of all countries. Higher
duties are assessed on non- European au-
tomobileS assembled in Europe outside
OF Spain in order Ito favor direct navi-
cation between our ports and those out
side Of Europe" the decree states.
Articles of interest to American trade
on which the Spanish duties have been
raised include automobiles. motor cycles,
bicycles, and parts and accessories of
each; safety razor blades, sewing ma
chimes and parts, films, exposed and I'M
exposed: artificial organic coloring mat
ted, sulphur, spun silk and artificial
silk, and rubber tires and inner tubes.
These rates become effective imrnedi-
ately, but are not applicable to merchan-
disc already en- route on July %, or
awaiting customs dispatch. Merchandise
held in warehouses must be dispatched
within five days after July %, or be sub
Ject TO the increased duties.
A royal order of July 18 requires the
duties on several of these and other
articles shall be paid in gold or in
securities accepted as such.

CORN LEADS WHEAT
IN MARKET PRICES
First Time Since 1902 That
Values Have Changed
Places.
BY OWEN L. SCOTT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, July 30.-Corn suddenly
has become king among grains in its
own right-selling for the first time
since 1902 at premium over wheat.
Its reign, however, does mot bring
with 1t the thrill which would come
from similar evidence of strength In
wheat. This is due to the fact that
nearly 80 per cent of the country's corn
crop Is marketed in the form of live
stock, and live stock right now is as
much in the doldrums as any other
farm product.
AS q result, the farmer faces the
prospect of feeding expensive corn to
cheap live stock. To take the edge on
Of that situation, there Is expected to be
much substitution of wheat for corn in
the feed lots Of the country.
Weather Is Big Factor.
All in all, the weather has played
many a trick on the farmer during the
present season. It has given big crop
of best-quality wheat in Winter wheat
territory when reduced yields might
have been more welcome from price
standpoint it is providing larger yields
than expected of high-quality wheat in
400, 100000 bushels crop in Canada
when lessened production there would
have been beneficial.
At the same time the weather which
helped Wheat-a crop which gives most
farmers their big cash return-haS hurt
corn, a crop which can be cheap with
out bringing disaster to producers. The
weather, likewise, has forced consider
able selling Of range cattle, adding to
demoralized market at the same time
that this same weather has cut con-
sumption of beef.
AS it is, wheat futures which year
ago were selling at from $1.39 to $l.5
are now selling from Sc to 80 cents.
Corn, which sold at from 81 90 to $104
q year ago, now is selling at from 80
to Sc cents. Sheep that year ago sold
for SIS hundred pounds now bring
$9-.the lowest return in Is years.
Steers that sold for above SIS year
ago now are selling at under $40, while
hogs are about $3.50 under year ago.
Live stock market experts say that the
present is the bottom of a market cycle
! which will lead to later high prices.
Slump in Wheat.
Wheat has slumped to new low levels
for a 16-year period just now, with one
of the contributing factors the news
that Russia is back in the world market
in q stable way. She has offered l6,-
coo 900 bushels of wheat for Fall ship
ment and may have much more. Be-
fore the war her exports ran well over
10O, 000, 900 bushels annually.
With another country coming into the
world wheat market, Chairman Legge
of the Farm Board feels that he is on
safe ground in urging acreage reduction
in the United States.
I'VE want to get the American farmer
out of the export business" he says.
IF we can get cur own wheat acreage
adjusted, we do not care what the rest
of the world does"

BOND
ISSUES ARE FIRM
$4,000, 900 in New ,FinanC.
ing DepresseS Remain
der of List.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.
,peciaI Dispatch to The star.


NEW YORK, July 30-High-grade
bonds, both domestic and foreign, were
firm to a shade higher today, but the
rest of the list was depressed by total
of nearly $70,000,000 in new issues and
by slight Tightening In money sup
plies.
The Individual feature was az
point drop in the new Austrian rs. The
withdrawal of the syndicate's firm bid
of 95 for all bonds offered in the mar
ket established open trading in the
issue. Since it's offering it has been at
a shade discount a number of times and
the original drop of over points on
the London market was Cancelled by a
renewed demand for the bonds from
Switzerland and Austria, where the
original slices of the loan were insuffi-
Gent to supply the demand However,
the fact that the bonds did not drop
further was interpreted as a bullish
point, especially when the old Austrian
Is managed to hold their high level.
Some of the Junior railroad secur-
tiles were under pressure, as the full
effect of the second quarter earnings
reports has become apparent. st. Paul
adjustments lost all of their recent gains
and dropped to within ~ points of
their previous low. Other declines were
SHOWn ny OC Faul 0S, ROCK lSlanQ 4H2S,
Denver 81 Rio Grande Western SIS, Erie
General Lien As, Erie SIS, Frisco Alas
and Boston & Maine SIS.
Industrial issues of comparable
type remained unchanged or gained
fractionally. There were advances in
Certainteed 512s, Goodyear SIS, Ameri-
can Sugar Refining IS, and Interboro-
ough refunding SIS. National Dairy
Products las and other industrials of q
high order remained at or near their
best prices of the current movement
Prime domestic bonds were firm, with
new highs touched by Southern Pacific
412s. Union Pacific first Is, Great
Northern rs, Chesapeake & Ohio gen.
eral rs, Columbia Gas SIS and Laclede
Gas &C" SIPS.
Apart from the activity in Austrian
issues, foreign dollar credits were quiet,
with price movements mostly upward
French bonds were again very strong,
with the French rs and 7las both at
new highs and the French municipal
group lowering around their best levels
OF the past two years.
Volume was much above that of
Tuesday.
