SIX MARKS SET
BY PONTIAC

March was q month Of record
breaking by the Pontiac Motor
Company. according to H. j.
Klingler, president and general
manager.
The figures for the month re-
veal production highs for a single
day, a single week and a month:
the greatest number Of employees
on the payroll; the highest hourly
rate of pay, and the largest num-
ber Of dealers. Mr.. Klingler said:
Production reached the high
est point Of the year when sos
cars were turned out Thursday
of the last week and S26 ON
Friday. We should run 500
cars or more a day as long as
the seasonal demand continues,
and that ought to be well be-
yOnd the usual spring period"
During March, 14,S91 new Pom
tiacS were built. This Is three
times the March production Of
1888 and 81 per cent above Feb
ruary Of this year. It represents
the largest month of Pontiac pro-
duction since July, 1929.
Last week Pontiac had the 1arg-
est production Of the year with q
total Of 3,757 cars, or an average
Of ISL cars a day for a five-day
week. The average has been over
TOO cars a day since March 10.
Although January was a poor
month, compared with last year,
due to a slow start on new
models, February and March
have so far exceeded 1888 that
our output for the entire first
quarter of this year is 43.5 per
cent greater than the correspond.
ing period a year ago.

GRAIN FUTURES
ARE NARROW

CHICAGO, April 9 G.N.S0.
Grains made little progress in
either direction in today's early
dealings, values ruling firm in
a narrow range as the trade
awaited fresh incentive.
The easier tone in stocks and
cotton induced scattered selling
at the start but pressure subsided
and the market recovered only to
give way to dullneSs.
Wheat rallied from 86A to
86Ac and corn and oats ruled
firm around the preceding close
Of 58B and 32Ac.
At mid-sesSion wheat was un.
changed to 3sc higher, corn un-
changed to Ac up, oats un-
changed to sc lower and rye
70 to- 1ac off.

NEW YORK, April OI.NSJ-
The bond market maintained its
uptrend in today'S dealings al
though gains in most sections Of
the list were restricted to frac-
tional proportions.
Allegheny Corporation IS Of 80
continued its spectacular recovery
among the rails, reaching a new
&c. high. Nickelplate 41as, and
Southern Railway General Is were
other favorites to record slight ad-
vanceS.
Chile copper IS rose to q new
top In the domestic corporation
list. Postal Telegraph SIS was up

Germans were under renewed
pressure in the foreign group, with
the 51as off more than a point.

LIVERPOOL, April 9 QN.SO.
There was a moderate business in
opening spots on the Liverpool
cotton market today. Prices con-
tinued steady with receipts total
ing 2.000 bales, of which 200 were
American.

Sugar Futures Drop
On BiLL's PaSSH0e

Sugar futures backed and filled
after the holidays in light trad
ing. Traders had evidently dis
counted the passage of the sugar
bill by the House, and the market
did not advance when the news
was made known. Thursday and
Friday, however. found the mar
ket declining, with little support,
more in sympathy with the weak
raw market than for any other
reason. Producing interests Of
duty frees continued to sell. The
net losses for the week were to
IL points.
The Washington times., 1934-04-09
IN STEEL
ORDERS SEEN

Stimulated by price advances
ranging from So to So ton effec-
tive this week for the second
quarter, following the recent in
crease in iron and steel wages,
consumer commitments for steel
last week rose to an unexpectedly
high level, the magazine Steel re-
ports.
SteelmakerS estimate tonnage
contracted for exceeds by IS per
cent that booked in the first
quarter, and the heaviest Of any
second quarter since the begin
ming Of the depression.
With their retail markets still
on the upgrade and production
scheduled for further gains this
month, automobile manufacturers
alone are contracting for more
than 100000 tons of finished steel.
Railroads are releasing material
for equipment recently awarded,
and also covering their second
quarter requirements. Building
operations SO far have failed to
respond to seasonal influences.
But it is believed that with a more
clearly defined and rational policy
toward capital at Washington,
;srogress in the major consuming
groups over the remainder Of the
first half will be irresistible.
On the basis Of new prices, the
effective dates Of which range
from April IL to IS, Steel'S fin
ished steel composite will be up
$3.50 to $S4.43, practically level
with March, 1880, while iron and
steel wages are back to 1929.

INDEX
DROPS AGAIN

Wholesale commodity prices de.
clined for the third successive
week in the period ended April 6.
according to Prof. irving Fishers
index. The figure fell 0.5 in the
week to 1875.
This compares with recovery
high of TAG on March 16, with de-
preston low of $50 on March 3,
1888, and with average Of 57.2 in
April, 1888.
Purchasing power Of the dollar
rose, consequently, to 1850 from
1852 in the week. This compares
with recovery low Of 134.0 on
March 16, with depression high Of
1917 on March 8, 1888, and with
average Of 174.8 in April, 1888.
The British index Of wholesale
prices remained unchanged at 64.6
during the week. This compares
with $751; two weeks ago with re-
covery high of 66.4 on February
16, with depression low o. 58.7
and with average of 60.3 in April,

TRADE VOLUME
STILL UPWARD
IN APRIL

In its weekly summary of the
general business situation, the
Standard Statistics Company, OF
New York, comments:
"The business picture is still
one Of shifting hopes and fears,
Of hesitancy to assume risks,
but the basic forward movement
continues to make unmistakable
progress.
an past years, April usually
has witnessed the elimination
Of the spring bulge in business.
This year, however, business
volumes are slowly and in
exOrably expanding. Definite
Improvement in business Senti-
ment as q result Of l..bOr and
legislative developments in the
past fortnight may be detected.
Employment Is still increas-
ing, while wage increases al
ready have been effected in the
steel, automobile and other i'm
portant industries. Part Of the
increased cost burdens is being
passed along to consumers In
the fOrr. Of price increases, but
mass buying power is steadily
expanding"
