BIC YEAR FACED
AT AUTO PLANTS
AlI.Time Output Peak Ex.
pected in Remaining
Months of 1887.
By the Associated Press.

DETROIT, February 1s.-Barring
some further interruption, at present
unforeseen, the production division of
the automobile industry faces the big
gest years activity in its history dur
ing the remainder Of 1887, in the opin-
ion of many authoritative observers
They take into account in this con-
nection the fact that in 1929 the in
dustry produced more than $500 ,00O
cars and trucks.
General Motors, emerging from O
44-day strike that brought its produc-
ton down from a 225 ,000-units-a-
month average to almost nothing, Ia
expected to reach a 250,00O level in
March and hold that average until well
into the Summer.
While other producers were able dur
ing the six weeks of the strike to main
tain their output schedules, most of
the statistical agencies expect much OF
the revised business resulting from the
strike settlement to be reflected in in
creased retail activity throughout the
industry.
A large backlog of orders has ac-
cumulated for General Motors during
the strike shutdowns. Reports to
dealer organizations indicated there
was relatively little switching on the
part Of buyers who had placed orders
before or during the earlier days OF
the strike. Rather, say some of the
retailing agencies, there was a ten
dency to withhold some of the pur-
chasing volume that otherwise might
have been released because of the un-
certainty as to how long the strike
might continue and what its ultimate
effects might be on other lines of en-
ployment.
If the motor car industry as a
whole assemblies 100000 units as ex-
pected by most producers and dis
tributors. General Motors will make
at least 100000 of them. with Ford
and Chrysler close behind in the vol
ume Of output.
Favoring dealers who felt the short
age of cars during the recent shut
downs the National Automobile Deal
ers Association asserts, is the fact
that most of them. lacking factory de-
liveries were obliged to concentrate
on used units and thus are in excel
lent shape now to devote most Of the
sales pressure to new cars.

NEW YORK, February 18.-Junior
rails won further ground in today's
bond market as various low-yield cor
porate issues sagged.
In the latter group some losses ran
from major fractions to a point, sug-
gesting investment sentiment was still
confused on the question of future
money rates.
On the other hand, United States
Governments held to fairly even
line in spite of a few minor dips.
Some Of the lower coupon Treasures
edged up a little.
, While certain of the rails were
skipped over in the buying movement,
fairly broad improvement in values
was registered in early trading AS
was the case yesterday, demand was
motivated by a modest upswing in
the general run of carrier shares.
Trading opinion was that both liens
and equities were being helped by
the currently favorable trend of car

Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, February l8.-Produc-
ton of automobile trailers in the
United States this year may very we'll
reach 10000 units. according to an
estimate issued by Minton M Warren
in "A Study Of the Trailer Industry"
published by jackson Curtis, New
York Stock Exchange firm
Furthermore so per cent annual
increase in output over the next few
years is mot unreasonable to expect, -
in the opinion of the study.
Trailer production has been at least
doubling every year for four years, ac-
cording to Warren, who places the
number of trailers manufactured in
the United States in 1890 at 1000. BY
1885 production had reached 60 900,
with at least 100000 trailers then in
use.
