WINCHESTER, Va, May 16.-
Shenandoah Valley apple growers had
received cable advices today to the
effect that the fruit crop of England,
already injured by frosts during an
unusually early blossoming period, had
sustained further and more severe
damage the past week end, when tenn
peratures dropped to 16 degrees above

Additional damage also has been
sustained in various continental coun-

The monthly crop report for Vir-

having the best fruit crop prospects in
the State this year. Cold and rainy

NEW YORK, May 16.-In its weekly
summary of the general business situ-
alton, the Standard Statistics Co. Of
New York, currently comments as
follows:
Developments during the past week
have provided no evidence that a re-
covery movement will get under way
soon. Operating statistics of major
industries confirm the earlier belief
that the spring business peak was
reached several weeks ago and that no
Improvements is likely before late
summer or early fall. Steel activity
continues to slacken, textile mills are
planning to curtail operations further,
and automobile schedules are being
pared because of the low rate of retail
sales.
'One discouraging development is
the possibility that automobile manu-
facturers are not planning extensive
model changes next fall. Until few
weeks ago, the belief was quite general
that they would spend large sums of
money for new tools and dies in
preparation for widespread mechanical
and style changes.
THE wage-price situation in the
steel industry is typical of that in
many other lines. Defation of prices
of semi-processed and finished prod
ucts has been comparatively mild in
the current depression. due. at least
in part to rigid wage rates. Manufac-
turers have been reluctant to press for
lower wage scales because of the fear
of inciting labor, as well as of incur
ring political disfavor Consumers, on
the other hand. are continuing to fol-
low extremely cautious buying policies
because of the belief that present price
structures are not inviolate."

COTTON FOLLOWS
SLUGGISH TREND
Futures Improve rs to 45
Cents a Bale in Week.
Volume Is Small.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. May 16. - Cotton
moved last week in a manner not un-
usual for this season-slugglshly Tor
the most within narrow price range.
At the end futures were ahead 25 TO
IS, cents a bale. The movement was
too small to arouse great deal OF
bullish enthusiasm in trading circles.
but most cotton commentators sug-
gested it was at least an indication OF
underlying stability considering the
adverse statistical position and uncer-
tain recovery prospects.
One reason for cottons tendency to
tread narrow path at this time OF
year is that the trade lacks any ideas
of what the new crop will look like.
The consumption side also has some
obscurities, but there is hopes that a
fair upturn in general business &C
tivity would Immediately quicken the
pace of demand for cotton goods.
Primary cloth markets showed a
pickup during the week, but the
trade had doubts as to whether it
marked definite turn from the inertia
of the last few months. Brokers re-
ported most of the business was booked
at prices a shade under those the
mills had been asking in the last few
weeks. Near the close the price struc-
ture for print cloths and other un-
finished lines was said to be showing
tendency to f1rmneSS.
Domestic and foreign spinners were
comparatively inactive in the futures
market. The latter. some brokers said
offered more contracts than they
bought, and foreign markets con-
tinued to sag.
Information received by cotton ex-
change firms regarding development
of the crop was generally favorable
except as to Texas, where rains and
low temperatures were reported to
have retarded growth. Because OF
early weather handicaps the crop was
still thought to be little late.
Consumption figures continued te

Bureau. fiber used was about 100000
