Manufacturing activity showed a
moderate decline to new low for
the year, while the general price
level was the same as in April,
when it reached a new low for the
current recession.
End of Strike Helps.
In the field of mining bituminous
coal output, with the ending of
the strike. rose from 10,747, 900 tons
in April to 17,880,000 tons in May.
There was also a noticeable increase
in the output of petroleum, which
rose from 106000,000 barrels in
April to 100000 barrels in May.
Petroleum output in May was IL
per cent larger than in the same
month last year, but bituminous
coal output was still somewhat be-
low the rate OF year ago.
I'm the field of manufacturing
both automobile output and steel
production in May, although larger
than year ago. fell below the
April volumes. Cotton mill activity,
however, showed rather sharp ex-
pansion as compared with both the
previous month and the correspond
ing month last year. Building con-
tracts in May were also larger than
in April and we'll in excess of the
volume of year ago. This main
tenance of building activity will
help to bolster up manufacturing
activity during the next few

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE ma
tional income produced in the
United States in May recovered
slightly from the setback in April,
but it did not regain the March
level. The national income amount
ed to S. 287 900 900 in May as against
S., 1852 100000 in April and $5436,-
600 900 in March, the Alexander
Hamilton Institute reports.
"Although the national income in
May was below the March level. it
was II per cent larger than in May
last year. when it amounted to S4,-
763000000 The national income
has thus been larger than a year
ago in every month SO far this year
The cumulative total for the first
five months was $26,725 100000 this
year, as against S24.082 100000 last
year, an increase of II per cent.
Apparently. the national income
in June showed little variation from
the May figure, although it is not
possible to judge from information
available at the present time wheth-
er there was a slight increase or a
decrease Mine output was higher
in June than in May and there may
have been some increase in manu-
featuring activity. The general price
level. however. was lower. and ship
mentS of agricultural products may
have shown some seasonal recession
There is no question. however, that
the national income in June was
