Sharp Rebound Is Expected
When General Motors
Reopens Plants.
BY the Associated Press.


DETROIT, February 6-Motor car
assemblies next week, according to
present schedules, will aggregate close
to 10000 units, with material boost
in prospects if General Motors, whose
plants have been strike-bound for
more than a month, gets back into
volume production.
OF the prospective output next week
Ford should assemble close to 10000
cars and trucks and Chrysler's several
divisions approximately $4,000 units.
General Motors was reported at the
end of the present week to be "virtu-
ally out of the production picture"
but a survey showed that 1t assembled
about $500 units. most Of them COM
mercial cars.
While many Of its assembly lines
have been closed down. General Motors
has continued as much work as prac-
ticable in parts divisions and now
has large bank Of materials on hand
for a quick resumption of car assem-
blies once the labor difficulties were
solved.
General Motors will be back in
volume output, it has been generally
understood. within "a hours after
settlement Of the strike. When its
first assembly lines closed down last
month the corporation was entering
upon a production schedule of close to
5000 cars and trucks week.
It undoubtedly will require more
than "a hours to get back to that level
of output, but settlement of the strike
will be reflected Immediately in the
industry's aggregate production.
General Motors has reported a heavy
accumulation of untitled orders at all
of its several producing units. To
catch up with these orders will re-
quire a contra-season activity.

STAPLES UNEVEN,
BUT INDEX EDGES
SLIGHTLY HIGHER
Textiles Continue Slump,
Break in Cocoa Prices
Draws Attention.
BY A. A. PATTON,


NEW YORK, February 6.-Drawing
strength from a well-sustained de-
mand, commodity prices edged ahead
last week.
The Associated Press weighted index
of IS important wholesale prices
moved up to 1858 from 1921 week
ago, and compared with 1877 in the
comparable period last year.
The trend was mixed. Some staples
advanced sharply. Others swung just
as abruptly lower. OF the IS items
making up the index, IA gained, 10
declined and we're unchanged.
Textile quotations slumped further,
carrying the loss of the index during
the past fortnight to per cent. The
heavy cancellation of orders caused by
General Motors tie-up contributed
Importantly to the slide according to
most trade observers. Wool, cotton
cloth and silk shared the downturn.
Live Stock Advances.
Live stock, on the other hand. was
unanimous in swinging into higher
grounds; hogs, cattle and lamb con-
curing.
The move was IN line with recent
Department of Agriculture estimates
that prices were pointed up. The rea-
son: Heavy marketing last year re-
duced the supply on farms, which in
turn means that Spring will find de-
creasing shipments meeting increasing
demand.
Hides, although closely allied to live
stock, headed in the opposite direction.
Inventories are said to be ample, with
demand from shoe manufacturers
easing. Linseed oil also declined, while
rubber, bituminous coal, steel scrap and
turpentine turned up.
Non-ferrous metals, paced by tin
and zinc. pushed up to within frac-
ton of the seven-year peak touched
in mid-January.
Agricultural commodities were In
heavy demand, due mainly to con-
tinued evidence that big European
consumers had to have more grain.
Corn, wheat, oats and rye advanced.
Cotton fell back slightly.
Food Index Climbs.
The food index, with heavily
weighted -four and butter being
marked up, was higher. Eggs, sugar,
cocoa and coffee were unchanged.
Cocoa provided fireworks, breaking
almost 400 points in slightly more
than a week. The setback was held
technical by commodity men, the
result of its $50 per cent run-up in
the past IL months. It recovered at
the close.

EAT0N'S DIARY
SHEDS LIGHT
ON TAYLOR

LOS ANGELES, June Is Q.NS0.
Sensation-laden passages from the
diary of a Hollywood chauffeur"
have thrown new light on the
15.year-old unSolved murder of
William Desmond Taylor, famous
film director, it was reported to-
day. f.
The diary was kept by Chauncey
Eaton, former chauffeur for Mrs.
Charlotte Shelby, mother Of Mary
Miles Minter, star Of the silent
films.
Part Of the chronicle of film
colony life in the period from 1914
to 1928, when Eaton drove for
Mrs. Shelby, was in cipher, and
district attorneys experts were
engaged today in DECIDING it, in
connection with the renewed in.
vestigation of the murder.
The battered ledger book has
scores of pages containing Eaton's
observations on famous Hollywood
perSonages, gained at first hend
or in conversation with other
chauffeurs during the spectacular
era of silent pictures.
Eaton knew virtually every per-
son of prominence in the film
colony, and was particularly we'll
acquainted with several notables
whose names have been drawn
into the case, investigators said.
Details of what the diary re-
vealed were guarded closely, but it
was learned Eaton commented
frankly on the gay life he saw in
the days when pretty girl might
become film star overnight, earn
ing a million dollars annually.
Meanwhile, authorities revealed
they had obtained the number of
a .38 caliber pistol, same caliber as
the gun which killed Taylor. The
arms factory has been asked to
trace ownership of the weapon, if
possible.
At the same time, Investigators
said they had a SO caliber bullet
resembling the one which killed
Taylor in his bachelor apartment
in February, 1922.

Scientists Are

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. "a new
and thrilling chapter soon is to be
added to the saga of mans ceaseless
thirst after knowledge of the earth
he inhabits.
From this city a party of scien-
lists will depart for the West In
dies to conduct series Of under

ture. In q submarine, deep in sub
tropical waters, members of the
group will make gravity measure
ments in the study of how noun
tains are built and seek to deter
mine the exact shape of the earth.
At the head Of the expedition,
which is sponsored by the American
Philosophical Society, American &C.
ophyscical Society, and the U. S.
Navys photographic office, is DR..
Maurice Ewing, assistant professor
Of physics at Lehigh University.
Assisting are Lieut.. A. j. Hoskinson,
of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic
Survey, and DR.. H. H. Hess, instruc-
tor in geology at Princeton Univer-
sity.
The scientists plan to shove off
from the Canal Zone in the sub
marine Barracuda, and, Starting at
Trinidad, will measure the accelera-
ton of force and gravity of half
hundred stations along the islands
stretching toward Puerto Rico.
| Many fathoms below the ocean
surface members of the group hope
to obtain comparative records Of the
force of the attraction which the
earth exerts on a unit of mass at
different points. This information
can be gathered, DR.. Ewing ex-
planned, by measuring the time of a
pendulum swing.
Through this study of the vari
Gus gravitational pulls in different
sections it is believed possible to
learn about the crust of the earth

mentS have shown an important
correlation between abnormal gra-
vitational pulls and the occurrence

The proposed study is intended
to shed light upon the mechanism
involved in the crystal activities of
the earth which result in mountain
building and other major changes
in the earth's surface.

Boost Grain Prices In 80

I'm the wheat trade, there has
been a marked change from condi-
lions prevalent for the past several
years. AS the result of small crops
in some of the important producing
nations for two or three years, the
tremendous surplus that hung over
world markets has been reduced to
point of the closest adjustment
of supply and demand since 1926

Losses in Corn and Oats
Heaviest crop losses of 1886, as
outlined by President Boylan, were
to corn, oats and barley. The corn
crop was estimated at 1,527000 900
bushels compared to 2,229,000000
bushels in 1885; oats made yield
of 784,000,00O bushels, a reduction
from 1885 of 413,000,000 bushels.
The production of barley was cut
from 282,000,000 bushels in 1885 to
IA 100000 bushels this year
Despite heavy losses in the north
west-spring wheat yield being only
1o8, 100000 bushels compared to 159-
100000 bushels last year-the total
1896 United States wheat crop was
627 100000 bushels, or about 4,000,-
900 bushels more than in 1885.
High and low prices for 1886 grain
futures were: Wheat $780, and IS
