which he contends is selling out
Ohio" and putting Sheet g. Tube,
a mid.WeStern industry, into the
hands Of Wall Street.
Eaton, who claims to be an ex.
ponent of mid-WeStern industries,
declared he opposed the Sheet q
Tube Bethlehem combine because
it would jeopardize the identity
Of Youngstown as an industrial
center. He contended that Sheet
& Tube. instead Of being abb
sorbed, should absorb, and that
a merger of the Youngstown con,
cern with Inland Steel Company
of Chicago would have been far
superior to the one with Rethles
hem.
He attacked the production
costs of Bethlehem, which, he
said, were high. He pointed out
that the majority Of BethlehemS
plants were in mid-Pennsylyania
and consequently distant from
sources of raw materials and
sales markets. -

the merger Of youngstown Sheet

The first question directed BY

but he admitted that he had CO

BY easy stages the market is
working back to levels which pre-.
vailed a few weeks ago. It may
be that as stocks get closer to
the tops of early August greater
pressure will be exerted, hence d
temporary backing and filling

before the market eventually
pushes through and goes into

OFFICE. SALES
DECLINE

First half earnings of the office
and business equipment companies
reporting to date declined 25.S
per cent from those for the. cor
responding 1929 half. The greater
portion of the decline, moreover,
was sustained in the June quarter,
according to a recent survey Of
the Standard Statistics Company,
of New York, which further says:
although dealers stocks Of
office appliances are usually
small at the present time, in
dicatiOns are lacking that pro
ducers' sales and profits will
undergo material improvement
during. the balance Of the year.
Rather, the disposition on the
part Of consumers to withhold
large-scale purchases of equip
ment until their business shows
definite recovery will continue
to restrict returns in this field.
A reduced export demand also
is proving an important obstacle
to satisfactory results for do
mestic manufacturers"
