AAA Program Seen
Ruled BV Drought

Whether the Agricultural Adjust

ating program will probably de
pend on the action taken by
Congress and the extent to which
the drought becomes more seri'
Gus, observes the Standard Sta.
tiStics Company, of New York,
in commenting on the first year
of operation Of the AAA.
In some localities, drastic re.
duction in crop yields by drought
is now considered as retribution
for tampering with natures laws,
and it is almost certain to accel'
crate growing opposition to the
entire restriction. program. Ten

surpluseS present further indica'
tions that the end Of the crop
benefit payment system may come
in the not distant future.

To BUILD
MODERN STORE

Revised plans Of Sears, Roe
buck & Co. for the department
store it will complete this sum-
mer at Sixty-third and Halstead
Streets, Chicago, provide that the
store will be built without win
dows and will be air-conditioned
throughout.
This type Of construction re-
fleets experience gained at the
windowless Sears building at the
Century Of Progress, where the
superior power Of presentation
thus made possible greatly i'm
pressed the company'S national
display department.
New Sears store will be five
stories in height and will contain
a Sub-basement and basement
with foundations and columns
designed to carry three additional
floors if required for future ex-
panSion.
Local architectural opinion is
evenly divided, according to the
company, as to the practicability
Of a windowless structure, but
most Of the Sears officials take
the position that the new store
will be as nearly perfect func-
tionally as such a building could
be made. It will be, they state,
the first department store ever
built without windows and the
first ever erected from the ground
up with air-conditioning.

Wholesale Prices
Increase SLi0htIu

Wholesale commodity prices in
creased 1a Of 1 per cent for the
week ended May II, the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics reported. The in
dex stood at 1873, compared with
1874 for the week ended May S.
This was the highest since April,
1881. The index then stood at
74.8 per cent.
The increase was attributed
largely to higher prices for farm
products, foods and miscellaneous
products. The largest increase Of
2h per cent appeared in the farm
products group.

OUTPUT TAPERS
FOR MAJOR
GROUPS
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Although productive activity in
general showed a net gain, out
put in many major industries
slackened considerably, the Ma
tional Instrial Conference Board
report for April and the first two
weeks Of May, reveals.
Steel production recorded its
fifth consecutive gain in April,
totaling 1885, 800 tons, the Ill.,
426 daily average output exceed
ing March by 1873 per cent and
April, 1888, by 1854 per cent, in
counter seasonal movement.
Production averaged 542 per cent
Of capacity, as compared with
T.8 per cent in March.
Automobile manufacturing con-
tinued to rise during April and
gave every indication of equaling
that months figure in May, but
building and engineering con-
tracts, bituminous coal production,
electric power output and textile
apparel output suffered serious
Setbacks.
General trade and distribution
showed a more than seasonal de-
cline in both dollar and physical
volume. Department store prices
were slightly higher. The cost of
living index was / per cent lower
at 1874 per cent but was 81 per
cent above year ago.
Commercial failures declined to
1852 with liabilities of $25, ,787 900.
An April, 1888, comparison shows
a 45.2 per cent decline in the
number of failures and a 49.5
mar can't Cf.AY1 in liabilities.

CrosLey Radio
At Capacity

CrosIey Radio Corporation in
the first month and q half Of
its fiscal year beginning March
81 has continued to operate at
capacity, with most depart
ments working two and three
shifts q day. The pace 1s
about the same as for most Of
last year when sales totaled
$1O,637 1866, an increase Of 1O2
per cent over previous year.
Untitled orders for refrigera-
tors are sufficient to keep
plants at capacity for another
month and . half, company
officials state. The company
is now employing around 5000
persons against approximately
1,50O q year ago and pay rolls
are up $50 per cent. Refrigera-
tor production is running in
excess of 1000 a day.
Although the company has
made some money in all but
two or three of the last 20
months, according to Lewis M.
CrOsIey, executive vice presi-
dent, resumption Of dividends
is unlikely until the outlook
for continued earnings becomes
more certain.
The COmpany's cash account
has been depleted through in
creased investment In inventory
and in development costs in
connection with refrigerator
and radio plant improvements.
Cash as Of March 81 last was
$S29,O11 against $1,O07,751 a
year ago. Inventory was car
ried at $1,593,717 compared
with S5O7, ,264 a wear previous.

evidenced along the line.
There was a moderate prepon-
derance Of minus signs in the

Natomas met scattered buying
in the metals, moving 1s to 10.
Wright Hargreaves, however,
eased "a to s24.
Electric Bond and Share and
American Superpower backed and
filled at unchanged levels in the
utility group. Oils were mixed,
with q gain of 1s in International

The Cities Service issues were
mixed. The common was off "a at

B in the debentures to 49h.
The bond list was similarly dull,

KILL TIME

High Low 100
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

By WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, May 81 Q.N.sJ.
The new week opens with the
market in a highly confused state
Of mind.
Saturdays turnover Of only
$500 shares is as good an
indication of how the average
trader feels about trading right
now as anything that could be
presented.
Total transactions were not
only the smallest Of the year, but
one has to 60 back to July 8,
1882, to find its equal.
Curiously enough, that session
came just at the time when the
market established its extreme
bear market low Of 40.56 on the
Dow Jones averages.
Drawing a conclusion from that
would be quite futile, though, for
on September 8, 1888, profess
sionalS sWapped 100000 shares
among themselves to while the
time away and then the market
was very near its top for the
present bull phase.
Right now there is little in
centive for activity in any direc-,
ton. Dullness and moderate ir.,
regularity over the next few weeks,
with no definite trend, seems tho.
most logical thing to expect from
tape indications and past per-
formances going back to the start
Of the present century.

which Jesus implied in his own
