FURNITURE TRADE
EXPECTED TO RISE
Manufacturers Believe July
Markets Will Bring Sales
Increase.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 9-Furniture
makers are looking for brisk sales In
July markets.
Early Spring markets fell far short
Of the bulls eye. Some trade circles,
searching for the reason, have cited
strikes. Others have attributed the
comparative timidity Of dealers to
fear of consumer resistance based on
rising prices.
This fear, it was recalled. was
particularly pronounced owing to
climbing commodity prices during
early Spring. OF recent weeks, how
ever, commodity prices have declined
and with them misgivings about the
possible effects of retail price mark
ups.
With estimates Of expanding farm
purchasing power coming to the fore
and comparatively we'll sustained buy
ing power in industrial communities,
current opinion is that retail price
advances will be fairly readily ab-
sorbed.
Statistics compiled by Seidman &
Seidman, accountants, disclose that in
1882. the depression low, furniture
sales had toppled to about 26 per
cent Of the 1923-1925 average.
They snapped back to 81 per cent
in 1896 and now are at about IS per
cent of l923-1925.
One thing on which extension Of
gains In furniture sales depends.
analysts maintain is home building.
Although the two ran almost parallel
during the l920's, home building had
the sharper fall in the depression.
Home building has been on the up-
swing the past two years. About six
weeks ago trade experts started to
predict higher building material costs
and wages would likely slow down
gains in this field These predictions
have recently been borne out by the
facts.
AS some see it, failure Of the home
building industry to regain its energy
may serve to take the edge of gains
in furniture sales.

NEW YORK, June s-The air.

show an increase of better than 100
per cent in 1887 over 1885, according
to an analysis by the Brookmire Eco
nomic Service, which points out that
record sales Of s4l,3ll00O for the
first four months of 1887 indicate
that air conditioning is outgrowing
the Infant industry phase and is
now entering the rapid-growth stage
OF long-term expansion.
Air conditioning is often thought
OF as air cooling the report points
out, but the widest and fastest grow
ing applications are in Cleaning"
air and maintaining proper humidity.
While air cooling may develop less
rapidly, control Of indoor temperatures
in Summer through cooling systems
should become as important as con-
troll in Winter through heating sys.

First wide use of air conditioning
was in theaters, restaurants and stores
to attract greater patronage in warm
weather. Use is rapidly spreading
to hotels and public buildings, and
sales are actively being pushed for
installations in Offices and factories.
At present, Brookmire states, the
use OF air conditioning in residences,
the greatest potential field for in

NEW YORK, June 9-Market con-

Surprisingly little change" despite

ducers, Iron Age said today in its

The aggregate volume of ingot out
| put has increased at some unaffected
plants, bringing the estimated aver
age for the country to 78 per cent,
slight rise over last week, the trade
| journal said.
only negligible amount OF busi-
ness has been switched from strike
affected companies to those that are

| eating consumers have ample stocks
! for the present and are not seriously
| inconvenienced. II the strikes last
| another two or three weeks. this sit
| uation undoubtedly will change.
Meanwhile, incoming business in
general is declining this month. While
| May volume for most companies rep
resented fairly large percentage Of
shipments, the trend so far in June
has been more sharply downward, or
ders in the aggregate having been
smaller in the first week of this month
than in the same period of May.
The scrap market reflects tn strike
situation in further sharp decline at
Chicago, amounting to 81 a ton on
some grades, bringing the Iron Age
composite price down to sl742. the
low point Of the year thus far and the
lowest since mid-December, 1886
Some Of the present decline in
steel business is due to the seasonal
slowing down Of the automobile in
dustry. and there has been some re-
duction in new business from miscel-
| laneous users that are liquidating
present stocks. The farm machinery
trade, however, is likely to maintain
its current high pace for so days and
