MANY CORPORATE
ISSUES EXPECTED
Billion in New Financing
Forecast as Result of
Acts Amendment.
BY J. r. BRACKET,
Associated Press Business Writer.


Chamber of Commerce of the United
States experts estimate that a billion
dollars in new corporate financing
may be expected during the balance
of this year as result of the amend
ment of the securities act.
A further incentive to such financ-
ing, the experts report, would be
an amendment to the Federal bank
ruptcy act, which they say is expected
to pass, which would exempt securi-
ties issued pursuant to a reorganiza-
ton plan when confirmed by a court
in accordance with the act.
These changes, the experts said in
the chambers fortnightly review.
combined with the prevailing low
interest rates, have led to new esti-
mates OF the possibility of long-term
issues being offered and absorbed.
The chambers finance department
figures that there is now threshing
around in the capital market funds
that normally would be employed in
long-term investment in an amount
exceeding $4,000 100000. This sum
is exclusive of the volume of funds
that manly seeks the direct mort
gage type Of security.
The department further estimates
that the volume Of corporate financing
that could be expected for the bal
ance of the year, conditioned upon
satisfactory changes in Federal laws
bearing directly on the originatlon
and distribution Of securities. range
around one billion, and for the next
l2-month period, between a billion
and two billion
Of similar intent is word reach
ing officials of a great many prospec-
tive issues that, according TO their
sponsors. have been retarded by the
securities act. Offcials have no esti-
mate of their total, but expect that
it will be unusually large compared
with recent months.

UNCERTAINTY SEEN
BEHIND SALES LAG
Buying Power Still Gains,
but Workers Display
More Caution.
BY J. G. DONLEY.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 6.-Consumer
buying has been falling off in recent
weeks, but there seems to be no fun
damental cause for concern. Partly
the decline has represented resistance
to higher retail prices for such things
as motor cars and general merchan-
disc. In response to this feeling, de-
partment stores began to shade prices
last month. Now the motor COM
panies are announcing price reduc-
tions
Department store sales fell of
slightly in April, the unadjusted index
standing at 70, against 73 in March,
SO in February and 81 in January.
This index is based on the l923-25
average as 100.
Motor sales in some lines eased
of early in May, and while there has
been no sharp decline the trend has
been irregular since. Prior to the
slackening in sales, the monthly
figures had been steadily approaching
the average of the five years, 1898.
In January, sales we're A per cent of
the average for that month. In Feb
ruary they jumped to nearly 65 per
cent. The March percentage was
82l2, and April was slightly better
than IS.
There is nothing in the wage and
employment situation in the manu-
featuring industry to suggest declining
purchasing power In fact. the evi-
dence is to the contrary. 1t appears
likely, therefore. that part of the re-
Gently noted Discrimination to spend
has been due to the recurrence of un-
certainty as to the future. When
workers think their jobs are in jeop-
ardy, it is natural for them to spend
less freely
AS a matter of fact, Summer re-
cession is nothing out of the ordinary,
and the moderate decline now in evi-
dence may be ascribed entirely to
seasonal factors.
