Motor Production
Braked, but Other
Business Edges Up
Wave Of Buying Rolls
Into Cotton Textile
Markets During Week
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. June 3.-The giant
motor industry applied the brakes
hard to its production machinery
this week and imposed a drag on a
belated spring business upturn.
Automobile and truck assemblies,
according to trade estimates, were
less than half the total for the pre-
vious week as result of the Memorial
Day suspension and the strike at
the Briggs body plants. The in
dustry's output was estimated at
32.445 units against 67,740 the pre-
vials week and 32,980 in the 1898
week, the first time this year it fell
below the comparable 1888 figure.
Elsewhere, however, business
seemed to be feeling its way cau-
tiously forward A wave OF buying
rolled into cotton textile markets,
giving mills an opportunity to work
of some Of the large stocks they ac-
cumulated during the recent spells
of slack buying Flickers of revived
buying interest also frightened cop
per and other raw material markets.
Steel Boosts Production.
Despite the holiday, steel makers
stepped up operating schedules in
the sharpest weekly upturn this
year. The operating rate advanced
81 points to 522 per cent of capacity
in broadening of improvement
since the resumption OF soft coal
mining assured industry ample fuel
supply. Latest figures revealed i'm
provement in rail loadings and con-
sumption Of power.
The wide fall in motor production
Offset gains in other components Of
the Associated Pres index of indus
trial activity. After two weeks Of
advance, reversing the slow spring
decline, it remained unchanged at
1913.
Prematurely infected by the sum-
mer spirit Of laziness Wall Street
security markets continued to doze
Trading was small. but there was a
slight upward slant Of prices. United
States Government bonds, the bell
wether of the forward movement
in bonds, shot up to record peaks
after Secretary Morgenthau an
nounced the Treasury would limit
its June program to refinancing a
maturing note issue.
Government List Rises,
The Government list rose under
the pressure OF a record breaking
supply of idle money. This unem-
ployed capital and the steady de-
cline in yields on high-grade bonds
caused further cuts in bank pay
ments on savings deposits, and To-
ledo banks reduced the rate to per
cent from 2 on accounts up to $1O,-
600. Above that figure the rate was
dropped to u per cent, effective
July l.
Eastern railroads angled for more
passenger traffic by announcing q
reduction in round-trip fares. An
interesting feature was the zoning
OF the lower rates, making the re-
ductions deeper in proportion to the
distance Travelled.
Meanwhile, Wall Street continued
to watch developments in Washing
ton closely for confirmation of re-
cent rumors another "spend-lend"
campaign was in the making and for
hints whether the administration
policy would shift to the right in
an effort to stimulate venture"
capital into action.
