pounds in a few weeks late in April
and in May.
Pressed by produce traders for an
explanation of the Governments but
ter policy, Howard r. Tolley, new ad-
ministrator of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, asserted Fed
eral purchasing of butter and eggs is
intended primarily to benefit the farm
producers by maintaining parity"
prices and that accumulation for relief
distribution was of secondary impor-
tance.
Tolley said the parity" which the
Government seeks to maintain is based
in part on the 1910-14 price average
and in part on existing industrial
prices. Based on existing conditions,
he said, 30-cent level for butter is in
keeping with the Governments pur-
pose, which Is to maintain farm pur-

AUTO CHIEFS SEE
GRADUAL SUMMER
RECESSION AHEAD
July Output Is Expected to
Compare FavorabIy With
Recent Years.
BY DAVID J. WILKIE,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

DETROIT, June 20-A moderate
deceleration in consumer demand that
has appeared in the automobile trade
is not materially disturbing produc-
ton executives in the motor car in
dustry
The tapering off process has been
so much smaller than traditionally
has been the trend at the present sea-
son of the year that producers and
distributors anticipate July output
that will compare favorably with the
corresponding period of the last three
years, when most manufacturers had
to delay new model wrok for some
weeks.
Bonus Discounted.
A considerable portion Of the dis
tribution within the next few weeks
will be to bonus payment recipients,
but in a large degree the volume of
this requirement already has been
discounted in commitments made
several weeks ago for delivery when
the funds became available. Thus the
producing division has not figured
the soldier bonus purchases as a fac
tor of consequence in July production
schedules.
At the same time, the long-range
forecast of factory plans calls for
around 100000 units next month. The
schedules are flexible, however, and
any trend that would increase or cur
tail expected consumer requirements
easily could be provided for on short
notice. Suspensions for inventories
are a possibility in one or two plants
in July.
SpurtS are Avoided.
One of the most significant develop
ments of the period of the current
model production has been that the
industry has rigidly avoided the sea-
sonal assembly "spurts" that before
1880 came as regularly as the tides
There has been a variation in the
weekly assemblies which reached a
high point of around 117,000 units
during the first week of May, but the
upward movement was a steady one,
and producers and distributors expect
the midsummer deceleration to be
similarly gradual
There has been no overstocking
of dealers, and home Offices generally
report the merchandising division of
the industry in better shape from the
financial as well as the inventory
standpoint than at any time during
the last seven or eight years.

SHEET STEEL PRICE
POLICIES ARE FIRM
All Orders, With Few Exceptions,
Will Garry Higher Prices
Scheduled for July l.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 90
Daily Metal Trade today says:
Flat rolled steelmakers are adopting
a firm policy with regard to the ap-
plication of scheduled higher prices
July l. No additional second quarter
specifications will be accepted after
today with the exception of galvanized
sheets which can be shipped out of
stock
In other words, all sheet orders, ex-
cept for specific and Unidentified build
ing projects. placed after today, will
have to be shipped in July and con-
sequently will take the higher prices
effective at the opening of the month
Steel bar producers have built up
heavy backlogs as result of increased
bookings since the announcement OF
the third quarter price increase. In
some cases mills are unable to accept
new business for delivery before the
end of July and it appears active
steelmaking operations will prevail
through most of the ensuing six weeks.

LONDON CHEERED
BY SANCTIONS END
Decision Regarded as Step
Toward Lessening of
..... War Threat.
BY LEONARD ]. REID.

BY CaDle 10 1ue S1dI
LONDON, June 20.-Two political
factors principally Influenced the mar
kets this past week, the first being
Great Britain's sanctions policy, the
second, the new French governments
plans regarding the future Of the
franc.
The sanctions decision was deeply
regretted in some quarters, but sat-
isfied the majority of city opinion
purely because 1t was regarded as
lessening the danger of war. The
government prestige was badly
shaken, but the cabinet will survive
The weakness of the franc, pending
issuance of the ft-postponed state
ment by Vincent Auriol. the new min
lister of finance, was no greater than
expected and heavy intervention of
control funds was necessary only one
day.
Conforms to Expectations.
M Auriors statement, when issued,
closely conformed to London ex-
pectation and is interpreted to mean
that France will proceed as circum-
stances require, and, by gradual
stages, control the supervision Of the
export or capital, exchange, specula-
ton, etc, and simultaneously attempt
to reverse the recent def1ationary
policy. There is no reason to expect
a further severe fall in the quotation
of the franc.
In view of all circumstances, the
stock markets are quite satisfactory.
Gilt-edged issues, now free from the
recent fear of dear money, which
was further dispelled by the heavy
gold purchases of the Bank of Eng
land, staged a moderate recovery.
This gave the signal for increased
confidence in the industrial shares,
where the underlying sentiment re-
mains cheerful, but speculative
initiative was confined to special IA
vorites, such as Woolworth and Sc
lected iron and steels.
Firm Markets Likely.
Firm markets are likely to continue
unless foreign politics again intervene.
But although the majority opinion
agrees with Reginald McKenna that a
substantial home expansion lies ahead.
no market boom is likely unless there
is a major improvement in the inter-
national situation.
Moderate investment in Wall Street
from London continues, but specu-
lators are deferred by the uncertainty
in exchange. In this connection the
question is asked whether the dollar is
likely to follow the franc if the latter
suffers further depreciation. Bankers
here consider the fall of the dollar due
purely to the crisis of the franc, apart
from which normal causes would Gre
ate a strong dollar market, possibly of
4.95 or 5.96.
A feature of the week was a further
purchase of gold by the Bank of Eng
land to the value of f4,500, 900 at the
current market price. This was neces-
STATED by the foreign boarding OF
British notes, superimposed upon the
natural demands for home trade ex-
pansion. Activity in new issues i;
likely to be resumed next week, al
many small industrial issues are pend
ing.

CHERRY CROP REDUCED

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, June 20.
About three-fourths of the sour
cherry crop in this section has been
lost because of Spring frosts, reports
issued from the university experiment
farm, near here, say.
Picking of the commercial crop has
begun in the Inwood section of Berk-
eley County and will start soon in
Jefferson County. Those cherries be-
ing picked now are being trucked
principally to back-State West Vir-
ginia towns.
Picking for the canneries in this
section will not begin before June rs,
it is thought by local growers. 1t is
at that time that they will have at
tanned their maximum size, weight and
sugar content. Because Of the shorter
crop growers are expecting better
prices than in several years past.
Canneries paid mostly 21a to 3 cents
