TRENDS MIXED
|NPAST WEEK

Business indicators last week
showed mixed trends, the most
important change being a 20 per
cent drop in steel activities, the
Commerce Department reported
in its weekly business summary.
The decline in steel operations
was widely anticipated as opera
tons had been maintained at q
relatively high level in recent
weeks, due to the price situation"
it was stated.
Automobile production was ap-
proximately the same as in the
preceding week, and indications
roint to a June output of close
to 100000 units, compared with
332, 1000 in May.
Electric power output was the
highest for any week this year,
and 4.S per cent higher than a
year ago.
