ey the A. seciated Press.
NEW YORK, July 17.-Symptoms
Of improved purchasing power abroad
today added a bright spot to the busi-
ness scene.
A gain of 1l.6 per cent in sales Of
General Motors cars and trucks to
dealers In the overseas markets for
June compared with last year was
reported by General Motors Corp.
Gains Held Significant.
For the first six months the up
turn over the like period Of 1885 was
1875 per cent. The fact that the cor
poration's sales scored substantial
gains in virtually all Of the 104 coun-
tries comprising the overseas market
was deemed significant by trade
observers.
They pointed out that the current
lap of the recovery race has been dis
tinguished by leadership Of such dur
able goods industries as the automo-
tive, machinery and machine tools.
They recalled the sharp contrac-
ton in exports of these products as
the result of world currency troubles,
rising tariff barriers and falling pur-
chasing power In many countries
after 1929.
Following the loss of important mar
kets abroad, they said, many manu-
facturers tended to concentrate on
the domestic market, giving less and
less attention to cultivation Of foreign
sales.
Revival Of Interest.
In recent months, however. there
has been indication of a revival OF
interest in foreign markets, stimu-
lated by improvement in foreign pur-
chasing power growing out of the
rise in prices of basic commodities and
industrial improvement.
Notable, foreign trade experts say,
has been increases in shipments OF
American-made goods, particularly
automobiles, heavy machinery and
farm implements to countries in the
so-called sterling trade area" using
the British pound as trading medium,
and Latin American countries. The
sterling area" countries include Cana
da, South Africa and Australia.

NEW YORK. July 17.-Ftlrther i'm
provement took place in the world
economic outlook during May, accord
ing to the monthly review of foreign
economic conditions by Winthrop w.
Case in the midyear review in the
Annalist, issued today. Industrial ac-
tivity rose to the highest level In moro
than six years, while international
trade was the largest in almost four
years. Commodity stocks increased
slightly, prices turning upward again
after several months Of weakness.
Industrial Activity Expands.
World Industrial activity continued
to expand during May. The Annalist
index of industrial production for the
world outside Of Russia rose to 97l
per cent of the 1928 average in May.
from 96.5 in April, and now stands
at the highest level since early 1880.
Industry expanded In all the leading
countries, except the United King
dom. where it held unchanged to the
April high ground; the latest reports
indicated advances for France, Ger
many, the United States, Canada.
Japan, Austria, Belgium, Czechoslo-
vakia and Denmark. Although set-
backs we're reported for the Neither
lands and Poland, the trend in these
countries is apparently upward. =.
Perhaps more significant was ths
further recovery of international trade
in May. The Annalist index rose to
$50 per cent of the 1928 average.
from 375 in April and 357 in May,
1885. The index is now the highest
since June, 1882. The increase re-
fleets the progress of domestic recoy.
cry throughout much of the world.
Commodity Prices Up.
Wholesale commodity prices turned
upward in June, influenced in part
by the North American drought.
where the price advance was most
pronounced. and also by the proSpec-
tive lifting OF sanctions against Italy.
French prices were weak, but in most
other countries they rose.
Commodity stocks increased slightly
during May, but apparently no re-
versal of the gradual downward trend
Is indicated. Wheat, rubber and silk
stocks declined further, while those
of sugar, cotton and tea rose. the sur

sx iae Associated Press.


NEW YORK. July 17.-Dun d.
Bradstreet said in its weekly review
of business today that while the Md
summer recession has not yet made
itself felt in most trade divisions,
trends have been more mixed this
week than is some time.
Fears of the effect of drought
damage and excessive heat, brought
TO an end in some regions by rains
and lower temperatures, were found
to be more psychological than real"
the trade organization said.
Wholesale volume continued TO ex-
pand, the review added, with nearly
every type of merchandise sought by
the largest number of buyers that
have visited some markets in six years.
No drastic curtailment of rural buying
was reported.
Indices Advance.
On the industrial side of the business
ledger, the mercantile agency found
that leading indices were advanced
for the week with electric power pro-
duction. steel output and freight car
loadings making good progress.
The review said that consumer buy
ing broadened on the days when shop
ping weather turned more favorable,
but selectivity prevailed in most lines.
Light weight wearing apparel, sports
shoes. beach accessories. and vacation
requirements were in good demand.
House furnishings moved well, and
sales of electric refrigerators and fans
reached new peaks.
Retail sales for the country as Q
whole, the report stated, were II TO
IS per cent over the corresponding
week last year. Some sections Of the
West reflected continued high temper
atures by reporting smaller gains than
in more favored areas. Tourist traffic
helped swell the total in the New
England States to II to II per cent
ahead of 1885.

Distributors Satisfied.

New England machine tool distribu-
tors are we'll satisfied with early July
business and look for good orders dur
ing the Summer. Long deliveries are
credited with stimulating the placing
of orders. New York distributors re-
port equally satisfactory sales in the
Metropolitan district for June They
say also that July is opening up at
almost the same level. The same
cheerful report comes from Philadel-
phia where both orders and inquiries
are holding up well. In Pittsburgh
machine tool sales are holding up
fairly we'll, the level of the last six
months being maintained. Inquiries
are in good volume. The impending
fight between the steel operators and
the labor organizers Of the Lewis COM
mittee is causing considerable appre-
hension but the impression is that
there is no real demand from the men
for union organization. One mill re-
ports that the former mine workers
employed in its shops are particularly
desirous of avoiding further union af-
filiation.
Orders Holding Up.
Labor difficulties are plaguing the
Cleveland area, but even so machine
tool orders are holding up rather we'll.
The continuing skilled labor shortage
is stimulating the training courses
tablished in various plants The hot
weather has slowed up Cincinnati
business somewhat but dealers and
manufacturers there are reasonably
well satisfied with the current Sum-
mer business. The Rand
strike is somewhat disturbing, al
though it Is the only evidence of the
extensive undercover work which or
ganizers are believed to be doing. In
Detroit the die and tool shops are
very busy, which has meant better
business for the machinery and tool
supplies. Some business that was not
expected until Fall has already been
placed Here, too. long deliveries
have caused the placing of apprecia-
bic orders. The labor situation is be-
ing watched carefully but nobody is
talking about it.
