REDUCTION IN WHEAT
ACREAGE is FORECAST
Crop Estimates Next Tuesday Ex.
pected to Reflect Cut in
Winter Planting.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 30.-May unofficial
crop estimates to be issued next Tues
day are not regarded as certain to show
huge abandonment of domestic Winter
wheat acreage.
Forecasts current today indicated that
the estimated losses would range from
100000 to 100000 acres. This would
mean that Is to 20 per cent of the
United States Winter wheat has al
ready been played ducks and brakes
with to say nothing of vicissitudes
to be encountered the remainder of
the season.
Despite this outlook, however, the
wheat market this morning, hyper
sensitive to recent bearish factors, vas
2 to 25s cents bushel lower compared
to week ago, with corn "a to "a
down, oats l to IA of and provisions
showing Is to 40 cents decline.
Leading specialists in wheat say that
owing to recent widespread rains it can
now be definitely determined whether
domestic Winter crop losses from
drought and the March freeze we're
irreparable. The freeze appears to have
done far more damage than was gen.
orally believed, and was instrumental
in causing a large part of 81 per cent
loss suggested by Nebraska official re-
turns. Meanwhile, evidence to date be-
tokens little, if any. increase, but rather
implies possible decrease of United
States Spring wheat acreage this sea-
son. a prospect due to substitution of
feed grains.

BUS AND AIRPLANE
AGREEM ENT is MADE
Conjunction of Services Is Ar.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 30.-Two of the
youngest and fastest growing modes of
transportation, the intercity motor bus
and the airplane, have entered an agree
ment for the joint development of
traffic along the Atlantic seaboard.
The Greyhound bus lines, owned by
the Greyhound Corporation, which last
year operated 2,255 buses over 43.5S3
miles of route and recorded 1I3. .325, ,o89
passenger miles, and the Eastern Air
transport System, a subsidiary of
North American Aviation, Inc, are the
parties to this traffic agreement, which
affects 27 cities along the coast between
New York and Miami.
Although this means increased pas
Senger competition for the railroads,
whose passenger revenues have been
constantly decreasing, one carrier, the
Pennsylvania Railroad will indirectly
benefit from this new ARRANGEMENT.
Pennsylvania Railroad owns so per cent
of the Pennsylvania Greyhound lines,
which operate parallel to the carriers
tracks. The other so per cent of
Pennsylvania Greyhound is owned by
the Greyhound Corporation.
This new trafflc arrangement between
air and bus lines means that many
cities not now directly served by air
transportation will be given rapid
transit facilities direct to airports.
Each company will act as agent for the
other. Joint schedules and tariffs will
be issued. Bus schedules will be CO.
ordinated with those of the transport
planes, so that there will be mutual
exchange of passengers wherever pos
sible
Eastern Air Transport directly serves
New York. Newark, Atlantic City, Phila-
delphia Camden, Baltimore, Washington,
Richmond, Hopewell, Norfolk, Green's
boro. Charlotte, Raleigh, Florence,
Charleston, Spartanburg, Greenville,
Atlanta, Macon, Savannah, Jacksonville,

Petersburg Vero Beach and Miami
Greyhound bus lines serve cities in all
sections of the country.

INCREASE IN STEEL
INDUSTRY IS SEEN
Trade Journal Predicts Fur
ther Improvement-PubIic
Confidence Needed.
Rv the Assnciated Press

6J Lhe ASSOCIATED Press
NEW YORK, April 3O.-The imme-
diate outlook is for further improve
ment in the steel industry. although
the extent of the betterment will de-
pend on public confidence as reflected
in finance and in consumer buying,
says the Iron Age.
The upward trend in automobile
production. slow as it is" the review
continues. is having its effect on the
operations Of mills, foundries and parts
manufacturers.
Steel ingOt production now averages
70 per cent Cf capacity compared with
~ per cent in the preceding week and
Il per cent two weeks ago
Automobile Output.
Further expansion Of motor car out
put next month is a certainty and It
now seems probable that the increased
hoW Of business from that quarter will
be supplemented by liberal lettings Of
structural steel, mainly for public works.
While fabricated steel awards for the
week were only l0340 tons, new in
qulrieS tOtaled $4,000 tons-structural
shops are now figuring on fully 200 900
tons Of work and expect about 100 900
tons to be placed within the next
month.
The plate market, which has been
exceedingly quiet, is featured by the
appearance of a call for bids in June
on $4,000 tons for the Hoover Dam.
Tin plate operations remain a bright
spot in the steel industry, although
further increases above the present
production rate of so per cent Of capac-
lty are being delayed, pending a more
accurate estimate of the vegetable pack.
The heavy losses of steel companies
IN the first quarter have again focused
attention on costs and a second wage
cut now seems inevitable much as they
would like to avoid it. The chief con-
sideration deterring such action is the
fear that what would be saved in wages
might be lost in lower prices. While
II can still be said that finished steel
prices are holding in the absence of
severe tests, the scrap market still
shows disturbing weakness, with further
price declines reported on numerous
grades in different market centers.
Ford's Objective.
The Ford Motor Co. has made
notable progress in swinging into pro-
ductlon on va motors. It now
seems assured that by the end of this
month total production of this model
Will reach 1000 a day. Both Ford and
Chevroet are now scheduled to turn
out $4,000 cars each in MAY, while
Plymouth will at least duplicate its
April total of $4,000 cars
Ford's objective is to manufacture a
ran million cars as rapidly as possible.
AS a Consequence operations are likely
TO be heavy in July and August, which

trading in future deliveries of hogs
until such time as there Is a demand
for that sort of market Charles A.
Wilson, president, said.
This market was established as a
hedging market for hogs" Wilson said,
"and at present prices sales can not
be hedged We will resume operations
when there is sufficient demand. Hogs
are now selling at a loss and 1t Is
impossible for traders to hedge their
sales"
Trading in hog futures was estabT

volume until September, 1881, Wilson
said. but then it fell off to such an ex-
tent that the market could not be oper-
ated further.

Market Averages.

NEW YORK, April 30 Especially -
In the past six market sessions the
stock market has closed with a net
gain on four days and a loss on two
days. Except for the sharp decline
last Friday. when a new low average
for the depression was reached, the ten
deney has been moderately upward.
The most satisfactory feature of the
market is the quiet way in which it
advanced from its last low level. On
other occasions a new low point has
been followed by an abrupt gain, which
has led to further liquidation, profit
taking and short selling. Technically,
the market is in the strongest position
now of any time this month.
