AUTO PRODUCTION
Total for Week Ending Tomorrow
Set at $3.50 Units-Big Gain
Seen for Month.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT. June 23.-Cram's auto
motive reports in a weekly analysis OF
the automobile industry today says pro-
duction for the week ending tomorrow
will total $3.50 units, the highest
weekly figure of the year to date. Ten
passenger car producers increased out
put and only three reduced their sched-
ules.
The analysis places total production
Of passenger cars and trucks in the
United States and Canada during June
at approximately 250,000 units, q gain
Of about 80 per cent over June, 1882.
This is the first year since 1922 that
June production has exceeded May.
Referring to a slight recession In re-
tail sales of passenger cars this week,
the survey says:
"It is not likely this fiuctuation sig
nifies any sustained halt to the trend
of the last three months, for an in
creasing number Of dealers confiden-
tial reports show continued improve
ment In general conditions. {" . There
Is nothing in the general situation to
indicate the sales peak has been
reached"

Chicago Grain

CHICAGO, June 23 CP.-All future
deliveries of wheat, oats and rye jumped
late today to beyond season high price
records.
Reports were current indicating tre-
mendous crop damage had been done
Northwest by recent heat and drought,
especially in the Dakotas and Minne-
sofa. Unofacial estimates were that the
1888 probable production of wheat in
the United States would fall below the
actual domestic disappearance in recent
years.
A rush of general commission house
purchasing lifted prices sharply in the
late dealings, and far more than Offset
early declines.
Wheat closed buoyant, at the days

ish; corn, ha1h up; oats, Aa1% ad-
vanced, and provisions, to 10 cents

GRANTED STEERS
ADVANCE IN PRICE
Higher Level Laid to Smaller Sup.
ply-Fat Lambs Also Rise, but
Hogs Decline 10 to 20 Cents.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 23.-Strictly grain
fed steers and yearHngs, which have
been depressed recently by combina-
ton of record heat waves and giant
receipts, advanced promptly this week
when supply figures abated.
Upturns amounted to 1925 cents,
only strictly grass cattle remaining
under pressure. Very liberal receipts
of hogs led to slow, uneven markets
and declines amounting at the princi-
pal markets to 1920 cents. Fat lambs
sold generally higher all over the coun-
try, another development OF supply re-
trenchment.
Higher temperatures and dry weather
over the corn belt were factors in the
general cattle market, lack Of rain fur
ther weakening stocker and feeder
steers. Another influence which dur
ing the last three weeks has sent re-
placement cattle 50-75 cents lower was
the seasonal increase in native grass
steers. And now the native supply is
being increased by Southwesterns as
well as Northwestern grass cattle.
In hogs 1t was slow trade. Killers
specializing in fresh pork found them
selves confronted with 7.00-7.50
wholesale loin market, this tending to
make current live prices relatively high
even though live hogs are selling un-
evenly 50-1.00 under the seasons high

DOMESTIC BONDS
. DISPLAY F|RMNESS
Emphasis Placed on Higher
Grade Utilities and Rails
In Afternoon.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Vpecial Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 23.-The domestic
bond list firmed during early trading
today, with emphasis again on junior
rails In the speculative group and gilt
edged utilities in the investment dfvl-
sion. Treasury issues at this time were
higher but receded later. The foreign
classification, however, was somewhat
unsettled by the decline in French and
German governments.
Most of the buying in high-grade
utilities came from New England and
the South, in such regions where banks
and institutions have been placed in
sound positions as result of the clean
l1g out of collateralled loans without, or
ut minimum, losses as result Of the
recent rise in markets.
Insurance Loans Increase.
Life insurance companies within the
last few days have not been as prom
inent as other buyers. Lifting OF all
or most restrictions on borrowing
against policies has caused resump-
ton of loan seeking. To the extent
that such borrowing could be checked
against few local companies it would
appear that borrowers plan to use such
funds to acquire homes. This is not
surprising in view of the fact that
some savings institutions are still
severely restricting Withdrawals, in
some instances going so far as offering
to make out withdrawal checks to the
ultimate check receiver.
Swiss 51as. up more than 2 points
and at a new peak for the year were
one Of the few exceptions to the gen.
eral heaviness in foreign loans in the
afternoon. While most local fractions
slipped, Federal Light g. Traction first

grade rails Minneapolis & st. Louis
refunding IS Of 1862 rose q point to
new high level. In speculative in
dustrials the 3la-point squirt in Schulco
61zs to new maximum was feature
Dull in Afternoon.
The market continued dull in the
Afternoon trading, when the h1gh-grade
utilities and rails recorded the best
gains and industrials and Second-gTaoe
carriers the largest losses.
Typifying these trends were the frac-
tional gains in Brooklyn Union Gas IS
of 1850, Detroit Edison IS Of 1859 and
New York Edison IS, the better tone OF
New York Central 31as and New York
Central Michigan Central 31as, the wide
break in Missouri Illinois IS of 1859, and
heaviness in Otis Steel first IS and
American Chemical convertible 51as.
= The final hour was marked by recess
sion in United States Governments, the
decline Of Belgium governments, some
pickup in industrial debentures, such
as National Steel IS at a new top for
1888. some recovery in junior rails, like
st. Paul Adjustments, and f1rmness OF
the better-grade carriers. The market
closed dull and somewhat irregular.
