Advance of Commodities
and Broader IFterest in
Securities Cited.
By LEONARD J. REID.

Ds VheieoS " he otais
LONDON, July 2.-The past week
in the city has been an encouraging
one. With maintenance OF the previ-
GUS weeks sudden market recovery,
the psychology here is becoming in
creasingly optimistic.
This is illustrated by q more con-
vincing response by the commodities
especially rubber and the base metals,
and also by the growth and sub
stantial broadening Of investment and
speculative demand for securities.
Evidence accumulates that a wide
spread public, owning money that was
long kept idle through fear, is now
beginning to venture into investment.
1t is realized generally here that
Wall Street will continue for some
time to dictate the trend Of London
markets. Therefore question eagerly
canvassed Is whether the American
market upswing will generate better
business. or whether. alternately. bet
ter business is already assured by the
vast program Of public spending and
merely is being discounted in advance
by investors and spectators.
As seen from here, the pump
priming must stimulate a demand for
consumers goods. while very large
accumulated arrears of capital con-
struction will be undertaken some
day when adequate confidence returns.
Therefore it is asked here whether
the political quietude envisaged in
the near future will be adequate to
initiate big expenditures by private
capital.
London has resumed a moderate
participation in the American market.
with much Of it sound investment
buying
Meanwhile the stock markets here
reveal completely favorable change
in psychology. This week brought
discouraging figures for retail sales
and rail traf1ic, but support for in

INDUSTRIAL RAYON
PLANS BOND ISSUE
Files Registration Statement
Covering $1,000, 900 First
Mortgage Liens.

BY the Associated Press,
Industrial Rayon Corp. Of Cleve-
land has filed with the Securities
Commission a. registration statement
covering $7,500,000 first mortgage
sinking fund bonds, series A, due July
l, 1858.
Net proceeds will be used in part
to repay the companys treasury for
capital expenditures in excess of
$500. 900 made in the last two years
for plant additions and improvements.
Proceeds will also be used to reim-
burse the treasury for capital expendi-
lures made or to be made in connec-
ton with building of a new plant at
Painesville. Ohio. The plant will cost
An estimated $l1 100000. About S.
100000 has already been Naid out
against this sum. Interest rate on the
bonds will be given in an amendment
to the registration statement.
Evening star., 1938-07-03

before the end Of the current month,
shipments will show the affect Of bet
ter field conditions.
The gloom that enwrapped the man
ufacturers has begun, at any rate. to
evaporate. They are talking again in
terms of expanding-and not contract
ing-business. No further reduction
Of assembly lines is in prospect. Where
changes are being made in the rate Of
output, they are on the side of i'm
provement.
The manufacturers are even mildly
bullish as they lay their plans for 1899
models Commitments toward new
lines are still few. however. and, until
there is assurance that general pur-
chasing power will be sharply i'm
proved, conservatism will continue to
guide the factories for 1899.
Evening star., 1938-07-03

Automobile sales will be better in
the fall" Is . forecast heard on all
Sides But how much better few are
willing to venture. And until q defi-
mite measure has been established the
manufacturers prefer to err on the side
Of economy in their expenditures for
1899 models.
Although heaviest Government
spending will be felt in the urban
areas in the next few months, many
Detroit statisticians rely on the farm
districts for the probable upturn in the
motor industry. Visiting dealers are
telling the manufacturers that crops
will be good. We will be needing
some cars in September and October, :"

and payrolls in the construction
automobile and allied industries.
The volume of department store
sales in large cities, which during
the past year has averaged per
cent higher than in 1886, had not
yet dropped below the averages for
corresponding months OF the pre-
vious year at the end of November
Final reports for December are ex-
pected to show a slight decrease.
Business pessimism induced by
the drop in security values. the
curtailed purchases of consumers
capital goods such as houses and
automobiles, and the downward
trend of business activity and en-
ployment may be tempered some
what by the fact that in California,
at least, purchasing power at the
end of 1887 was still considerably
higher than it was at the end OF
1896.
California manufacturing indus
tries during 1897 showed a gain of
per cent in annual average en-
ployment, and l8 per cent in pay
rolls. Even at the end of the year,
monthly employment was even with
corresponding months of November
and December, 1896. and payrolls
were larger. Current decreases of
SO per cent in monthly employment
in auto assembly plants, l8 per cent
in structural iron and steel, and IA
per cent in mems clothing, as com
pared to year ago, are offset by
increases of "a per cent in electrical
machinery, % per cent in agricul-
tural implements, and 13 to 10 per
cent in such industries as aircraft
