Behind the
Stock Ticker

NEW YORK - Wall Streeters
are doing an excellent job of in
oculating themselves with a con-
structive attitude via constant talk
of business turning for the better,
of increased war orders, higher
steel and automobile operations,
pending inflationary threats, and
the fact that when the Republican
convention gets under way next
month, sentiment in general will
definitely help stock market prices
to move upward.
Conservative corporate an d
banking executives are as anxious
as Wall Streeters to see a better
sentiment rule, but they can't get
themselves to believe this is pos
sible as long as the third-term
threat is overhanging and WASH
ington doesn't show a friendly at
titude towards business. Yet they
do believe that in from four to six
weeks industrial operations will
show some improvement.
Steels-First-quarter steel indus
try income averaged about half
that of the fourth quarter of 1889,
and that second-quarter income
will average about half that in the
first three months.
The current-quarter steel indus
try income will run at half the
first-quarter average because OF
the 81 per ton price cut; also be-
cause the industrys average oper-
atoms are lower.
One high in the trade tells your
correspondent that third-quarter
operations may run unusually low
This informant says that since the
81 per ton price cut holds good
until June 80 deliveries. May and
June orders will be borrowed from
those of July and August.
Informed securities traders are
avoiding positions in steel CON-
pany shares for these reasons.
Zenith-Commander z. F. Nc
Donald, president of Zenith Radio
corporation. says there'll be no ma
tional television broadcasting pro-
grams on the air until advertisers
are ready to spend as much as
5000, 900 per hour. He doubts
whether advertisers care to spend
such huge sums of money.
Commander Mcdonald officially
denies that Zenith is TO expand
into the manufacture of washing
machines, refrigerstors or any
products not allied with radio sets.
Zenith is now distributing three
models of the new frequency mod
ulation band receiving sets.

istrator of export control for the
national defense program, today or
dered extension Of the export icens-
ing system to include 40 types of
machine tools hitherto exempted.
The order. effective December 10,
was due to the increased pace of the

tion, had been exempted because of

machines, disc-grinding machines,
