Business Is Expected
To Continue Rise
In Defense Drive
Commerce Department
Points TO Expansion
In Consumer Buying

Rejecting the stimulus Of ma
tional defense spending. business, in
recent months. has continued its
upward movement, and indications
point to further gains this fall, the
Department of Commerce declared
today in a review of summer busi-
ness conditions. Notable current
gains include an increase in con-
struction contract awards, a moe
than seasonal rise in August in
freight car loadings, and an ex-
pansion in consumer buying.
Though the closing Of continental
European markets has had an ad-
verse effect on exports, heavy Brit
ish purchases have in part offset
this loss.
Army and Navy expenditures ad-
vanced from Sl53, 100000 in June to
Sl99 100000 in August. By the end
o fthat month more than S2000,-
100000 in contracts had been cleared
by the National Defense Commits
sion. Realization of the business
expansion which will be created by
the defense program has led to
large purchases of equipment for
plant expansion and a reversal of
inventory policy from liquidation to
accumulation. This shift in inven-
tory policy has been an important
factor in the increase in new orders,
the Department of Commerce
points out.
After declining during the early
months of the year, construction
contract awards are now showing an
upward trend. These awards are
running ahead of the 1889 totals by
almost 100000 a month. The July
total, $399, 100000, was the highest
recorded for any month since 1880.
With allowance for the usual sea-
Sonal factors, industrial produc-
ton maintained the high volume
reached in June. At the end of Au-
gust the steel industry was operat-
ing at 913 per cent of capacity.
Automobile production, which has
fallen off in recent months, is ex-
pected to move up again this month
for a more than seasonal gain.
Aircraft production is currently at
an all-time high, and activity at
ShipyardS is greater than at any
time since the World War. In most
other durable goods industries, pro-
duction increased in July and Au-
gust.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Steels ard
other war shares carried the whole
stock market lower again today.
The decline was slow but steady
to the close from an optimistic open
ing which found quotations a point
or so above previous finals.
No important volume developed
on the upturn, however, and the
hard-Won advance Withered away
as traders sought resistance levels
in mild series of operations.
Soon even this series dwindled,
leaving the total transactions for the
day at only about 100000 shares.
Marketmen declined to do more
than test trends, saying they pre-
ferred TO see whether Britain or
Germany would gain control Of the
air before entering upon real COM
mitments. Their concern in the
war was so great that even the DO
litical campaign was largely neg
lected in boardroOm discussions.
Among the issues to fall farthest
were Bethlehem, Chrysler, General

Stock Exchange Chiefs
Decide 10 Leave
Hours Unchanged
Proposal for Longer
Session Is Opposed
BY Newspapers
Q, the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 12.-The Board
of Governors of the New York Stock
Exchange decided late Yesterday to
leave unchanged the present closing
hour of 3 pm. New York time. on
week days and noon on Saturdays,
after consideration of a petition
from member firms for longer
sessions.
At the same time the governors
of the Chicago Stock Exchange,
considering a similar proposal, de-
cided to extend the trading period
on that market, which has hereto
fore operated simultaneously with
New York, by one hour on week days
and one-half hour on Saturdays.
The effective date. which will keep
Chicago open one hour later than
New York Mondays through Fridays
and one-half hour on Saturdays, is
expected to be September 80.
More Volume Needed.
The agitation for a longer trading
period in both markets was said to
have been based on hopes of in
creased business, particularly since
trading in Wall Street has recently
been at the lowest levels in more
than 20 years. Agitation was inten-
sified in Chicago by the fact that
since its time is normally one-hour
later than New York, there was
barely time for trading after the
lunch hour.
Most active proponents Of a later
close in Wall Street were said to
have been Pacific Coast member
firms, since 3 pm, Eastern daylight
time, is only II am, Pacific Stand
ard time.
The decision of the New Your EX-
change governors to retain the ira
ditional trading hours, which are
the same as New York banking
hours. was said to have been based
on several factors, among them
being doubt that a later close would
appreciably increase business. and
fears that it would increase expense
in the form of staff overtime.
Also, source close to the eX-
change said the Board of Governors
was impressed by communications
sent to William McC. Martin, jr.,
president, by many newspapers, some
as far West as the Rocky Mountain
States, that later close would dis
rupt final market edition schedules
and hamper publication of securities
quotation tables.
Lists Much Longer.
1t was pointed out that the New
York Exchanges stock and bond !
lists are much longer than those of |
Chicago, and much more widely
published, so the newspaper problem
was believed to be more important
to the New York market.
The petition for a later close in
New York, which was for pm
Saturdays, was understood to have
been signed by about 80 member
firms, and the agitation for the pro-
poSal to have been the most intense
of any that has arisen over it in |
recent years. Controversy within
the membership was said to have
reached high pitch.
Whether the action of the Board |
Of Governors will quell the agitation, |
some brokers said, would probably |
depend upon the volume of trading |
in the next several weeks.

Corn Marketing Quotas
Declared Unnecessary
By the Associated Press.

by the ESSCC4aleG Press.
Secretary Wickard, noting that tic
estimated total corn supply was he
low the quota level, announced todG"
no steps would be taken to establish
corn marketing quotas this year
Such quotas under the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act are in effect
for cotton and tobacco, but none ever
has been established for corn.
Wickard said crop and carry-over
estimates, indicated a total supply
of 2.897 100000 bushels for the 1940-
Al marketing year.
The 1910 marketing quota level.
he said, had been determined as
2,930, 100000 bushels. A supply above
this level would have required the
holding of a referendum among
farmers on whether they wanted
quotas imposed to limit their pro-
duction for next year.
